I have 5k€ available for this project: buy a quad with a damaged (or at best without) motor and convert it into electric. Get some custom made battery packs, controller, change motor and have fun.

Following components are planed to use:

Controller: 370€

Motor (kV is maybe a bit too high) 540€

Battery: Samsung 25R about 900 of them to 24s 37p. 3339€

Other stuff: 300€

Quad from ebay: 400€

Budget: 4.949€

More infos to follow.

What do you think about the controller?
It says "450A continious" (https://shop.electric-skateboard.net/diy-tuning/controllers-escs/530/aps-450a-4-24s-sport-ii-sensor-esc). Now.. Is it for phase or the battery current?

Cheers from Germany
 
Those AlienPower motors and controllers are known to have hugely over-rated specs.

Here's a test of the 420A version of the controller: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=44897&start=600

Bear in mind that driving a heavy vehicle will be much harder on the controller than spinning a properller like in the above test
