Hello everybody :tiphat:,
Yesterday a local FE boater was bending my ear when he ran across a twin mean machine that was on fleabay that started this discussion :doh: . It was running twin leopard 3650 5400kv mills pushing 1.6 pitch 42mm props on 2s power. The seller stated that it makes 60mph runs.
This discussion led to a question being posed that I thought was pretty good.
In theory if you were running a 29" GEICO cat, on twin mystery 2200kv mills, x447 props, 80A esc's and 4s 40c power and you wanted to go to 1..6 pitch props w/o frying the esc's, how would you go about it ?.
Is there a formula to estimate when increasing prop pitch, the drop in prop diameter to maintain about the same amp draw ?.
He's pondering a twin build with 2 of the 2200kv / 80A combos from HK, might prove interesting ...... :w00t:
