In this video, I take an older 48” Extreme Flight Laser and give it a serious upgrade by swapping out the motor and ESC for the latest T-Hobby AM480 combo.
This isn’t just a simple swap, it’s about seeing what modern power systems can do for older airframes. Is it worth upgrading, or should you just buy new? Let’s find out.
I walk through:
* Unboxing the T-Hobby AN480 Combo
* Flying the model with its current setup
* Installing the T-Hobby AM480 combo
* Setup considerations and fitment
* Test Flight and First impressions of the new setup
If you’ve got older RC planes sitting around, this might be the upgrade that brings them back to life.
Let me know in the comments, would you upgrade or replace?
