Greetings All!
I'm considering going brushless with my Mini V and could use a bit of advice.
Currently I'm running a Graupner 480 BB Race motor with .098 flex cable and Octura x427 prop. The battery is stock. RPM is claimed by the manufacturer to be 27,000 RPM under no load.
I know that I could get quite a bit more speed by going with li/po batteries, but I've been toying with the idea of changing to brushless.
My question is this: If I run a 2200 kV brushless motor with 3s li/pos (11.1 V), which, I assume, would give me 24,420 RPM, would there be enough additional power to make up the difference with more prop?
The reason I mention the 2200 kV brushless motor is that it would be a very good fit in size, weight and shaft dia. I could "drop it in". The motor I'm speaking of is the Electrifly Ammo 28-35-2200.
Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks! Dave.
