Is there a mild upgrade ~1800kv motor I can put in my Mystic that would allow me to run on 5 (or maybe 6?) cells, but still give me stock type performance and similar run times on 4S? (I have a Seaking 120A ESC on backorder at the moment.)

Leopard 3674 1900kv?


Thanks for any tips,
desmobob

Might try the 1700, I am curious about that one in the Mystic myself

That one would probably be better for 5 (or 6?) cells but would give me a decrease in RPM on the 4S LiPos I currently use (although it might turn a larger diameter prop). The 1900kv version would give me some additional RPM with the 4S batteries, but I don't know for sure if it would be OK with 5S. I'm guessing it would be, but I'm not sure and was hoping to hear from someone who uses it.

Take it easy,
