  • Here we upgrade the E-flite Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m. This upgrade is only being done because the stock ESC caught on fire and was a total loss.
    Here is that video:

    Very interesting. :) i own a carbon cub s+ its now running a 100amp esc and the motor from the v900. Now thats a beast! ;) I had to change all screws holding the wing supports to bigger threads and it ripped the nose off on full throttle. The prop was out of balance and cracked the foam lol. Love to see ppl modify these things ;) great video

    Good luck with the 80a. I've had four different Avian 80a units fail completely on me, including that exact setup you're using on the Cub.

      Hey, I remember having a conversation on the thread with you. Ya the 80A failed but I replaced it with a Castle 100. No problems since!

    Hello! I’m sorry to awaken an old video comment thread but I just completed this exact swap on my cub with the Avian 100. However, when I install the prop collect adapter my spinner back plate is now rubbing on my cowl. Did you encounter this? If so, how did you fix it?

      I believe I just shimmed out the prop shaft by a very small amount - ~1mm

      Sorry, sold the plane and can't remember. I think it was an inch or 2 more in diameter.

      When you added the power 60 did you change to the bolt on prop adapter and what prop size are you running.

    I have the old blue carbon z cub and the motor finally gave out so can this e-flite power 60 work in my blue carbon z cub? Will the mount still work like yours did? The bl50 is out of stock everywhere.

    • @RCexplained
      @RCexplained  Před 2 lety

      I can't say for sure as I do not own that version. I would expect you should be able to make the power 60 work if I was able to. But can't confirm this.

      No idea. I only have the power 60. I'm sure you can figure out how to modify to make it work. If you aren't confident, visit a forum.

So when I got back to the hobby I settled for the additional cost of Futaba and haven’t had any issues since.
