        having converted a sceadu to electric i'd say no

        if you do try a conversion you'll want to use 8-10 cell lipo's
        and by the time you've found somewere to put the lipo's, got the correct motor to suit the limited gearing etc
        you'll wish that a trex 600e v2 or a logo etc,etc had been purchased

          Your easiest and least expensive option would be to get a good 2nd hand OS50Hyper and fly the Raptor as a nitro heli until you have saved up for something else. Otherwise you're going to miss the last of the warm weather rather than getting out there and flying

          Why do you think the engine is almost gone? What engine is it?

            I got the TT50 from the box. But the prob Is that I have to run it with no more 5% of nitro otherwise after 2/3 min of hovering is getting lean and it's turn off.

              What fuel are you using?? Might be an idea to take the back plate off and check the bearings to see what kind of condition they are in.

              Converting a raptor to electric isn't worth the effort or money now that there are dedicated electric airframes that are much much lighter.

                I was in italy and I was using the Jets fuel. As soon as I will get my Heli back from the carrier I want to try the rampcon fuel to see how it goes otherwise I just buy a new Heli.
                But the think that I still learning how to flight I just finished the hovering stage!

                  Don't buy a new Heli if you can avoid it. You can get a good 2nd hand os50 hyper for very little money (£70 or so) which will be ideal for you. Rapicon is pretty good fuel, I used it for a bit when magnum was having delivery issues and my Heli flew great on it. I use optifuel 20% now and again I can't complain as I have been flying it for a while now with no problems.
