I had to fabricate a motor mount and a receiver tray. Other than those two fabricated parts it was a pretty straight forward conversion. The Heli flies smooth and solid.

I wold like to do the same conversion. I have a new kinetic 50 never flown with an EVO 52 in it but I have no desire to fly glow. Can I get some details from you on the conversion. You could PM me on rcgroups.........RMS

Hi sanctuarysucks. Using the information that I provided in the info section of this video is a solid reference point for your electronics.

The only problem I see is fabricating a motor mount but I have recently found that a Trex 600 motor mount will work fine just add spacers on both sides.

[sanctuarysucks]

My concern was to see your motor mount but since a T-rex 600 can be fit..........I'm all set. Thanks!

[thedmc760]

you got it buddy. once she is in the air be sure to post it so i can check her out...

[harley2007eric]

yeap ,nice work I would love to see the inside what you did and what it look like thanks.How much you spent on the conversion....

[thedmc760]

Buddy shoot me your email address and I will email you some photos of the build. I fabricated a motor mount out of a piece metal I had in the garage. The ESC, Motor, Servos, Gyro, Lipo and Receiver I already had. The only thing I purchased was the HPI Motor Pininon which was like $15.00

Got a damaged 600 mount that needs a little hammer work. Hope to have it ready by spring........so many rc projects...so little time. Thanks again!

[thedmc760]

Thanks Buddy. She does handle nice.
