[QUOTE="airshot, post: 518950, member: 1183"] Your 36 will work fine but is minimal power. If your budget is tite, then use it until you can get something bigger. Electric motors only go so fast no matter how much thrust you have. Jumping up to a 50# thrust will not gain much speed, barely any, but it will get you moving faster especially if you add more weight like a passenger or two. With people updating frequently nowadays, you might find a good buy on a bigger used one. Having a really good battery is also a big help. Now matter how big and bad your electric motor might be, a poor battery will kill its performance. [/QUOTE]
