Hi All,
Been a while since my last project (18v Minimoto Advans - Upgrade), which went really well with the help of this site and in particular Haydendlp.
So I have decided to start another one for my younger son (Thomas - 3 years old), I was given a mini quad yesterday (free so no complaints there). I am going to convert it from petrol to electric as my neighbours seem to prefer the peace and quiet lol.
As usual I will add pics as I go along.
I am aiming for a 36v 800 or 1000w motor powered with 48v setup, the one thing that is concerning my though is the limited space for batterys. I have no rc experience so am unsure about Lipo and have always used the heavyweight sealed lead option.
What are the pros and cons of Lipo? Are they safe for my boys?
Also with the quad originally being gas powered the flywheel was on the motor (which as you will see in pics is now gone), do I need a flywheel with an electric motor?
There is going to be a lot of work in this one but I am sure it will be fun, hope that you guys can help me out.
Regards
Clinton
