--Under Construction-- This page contains tips on converting the Mamba to Electric.

The Mamba was designed with electric conversion in mind. The aircraft has designed in a forward hatch that makes access to batteries and connectors easy. The 'fuel tank tray' is located to work as a basis for a battery mount.

The primary conversion is STRENGTHENING the 'fuel tank tray' to work as a 'battery tray'.

Power System (as demonstrated by Flex innovations)

  • E-Flite 360 - 180kv Motor(EFLM4360A)

  • 70mm total motor standoffs
  • Castle 160HV ESC
