Aerobird Xtreme Motor

[rctrey]

Hey
I have an Aerobird Xtreme and i was wondering if i could put a faster motor in it. I looked in it and saw it doesn't use an esc it just has a circuit board. What motor would you recommend if so. I was maybe just thinking of a faster stock motor.

Thanks

I think that one is the same as the FighterBird. More throttle, more altitude. Less throttle and it comes down. No elevator, right?
If that's the case, there's no gain with a better motor. Also, the circuit board is an all in one unit for servos and power, and anything extra will burn it out.

No it has a v-tail so u can do flips, rolls, up and down and that such. I was just wondering if i could put a faster stock motor in it

Then it's an upgrade of the FighterBird which also had a V tail, but only for steering.
The circuit board setup that's in there will not be able to take any additional load without burning out. You can only change the motor if you put in your own ESC and sub-micro servos, and by then the extra weight won't improve it.

oh thanks Rolex i have been wondering about that for a long time. Thanks for putting that question to rest.

and I was also wondering if i could put like a more pitched propeller on it and if i could put a lithium polymer battery on it thanks again for all the replies

I'm pretty sure there's no choice of props with those planes, other than push, pull or twin props for the different models they make.
You can use a LiPo cell of the same voltage, and you can increase the capacity in mAH which will give you a much longer run time. Fitting it in there, and getting that plane properly balanced again, might be a little tricky.
They are basically what they are, simple fun flyers, without available upgrades.
If you are interested in some really cool electric planes at a VERY reasonable price, that allow any upgrades you might want, check out the AWS site.
