Stevo Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Simple issue... I'll follow your lead here. Max Thrust Riot, 3 cell 2200mah, 11x7 prop. I'm moving to 4 cell... should I now go 10x7 or similar? Will keep an eye on the power consumption of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 You're going in the right direction at least, Steve.... 10x6 or 10x7 should put you in the ballpark - I take it you mean you have a wattmeter? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yes I have a watt meter to keep it all on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Berriman Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 You will be very surprised how much the watts go up nearly 75% also need to double check the ESC as some are only set to 2 or 3 S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jones 7 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 There is a thread on RC Universe (I think) about this and I'm sure the recommended is 10x5. That said there are reports of people running 4s on the standard prop with no issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 A while ago I tested an E-Power 2826 950kv motor on 3s then 4s with an APC 10x7 & 11x7. On 3s the 11x7 took 26.25A for 290W at 8025rpm, on 4s the 10x7 took 29.6A for 440W at 10800rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
