    Which Apparition set-up would you choose?

    The stock 1620KV motor on 6s in an Apparition (single screw) 120 ESC
    or
    A TP 2150KV on 4s in same boat?? 180 ESC


    How is the speed going to be between these two set-ups, with the Batts I mentioned?
    Which would you do?

    Thanks for the info

    Mr.T

      Hey Mr T will the tp 2150 fit in the boat without hitting the hatch?

        ya know i got out my trusty ol micrometer and took some measurements. It looked like it would fit. But don't hold me to it. I do remember someone saying that they have used a 4082 in one.

          I run a cc 1515 t180 on a m545 4s at high 50s
          That 1620kv wouldn't last long on 6s

                let me know how that set-up works out and what kind of speed he pushes.

                thanks

                          I tried my 6000mah 3s batteries and they fit just fine. I have a feeling this thing is gonna scream.

                            The ESC won't either.
                            The 4s setup is vastly superior if the TP motor you're using is a 4074 or 4082.
