8xl xpower 100 prop?

[62 bugzilla]

I just got a 8xl and a x power 100 that will run on 2s2p elite 4800 25c and I need to know what prop to start with? I have a x642 ?

[Steven Vaccaro]

A much smaller one. I rated the x-power 100 at 70 amps continuous. A 8xl can easily be more than 70 amps.

A much smaller one.

A much smaller one . . . like?

I dont know but its not a very safe ESC for that 8XL.

esc

What about a mystery 200 (125) with fan cooling? I didn't know the x power 100 was only good for 70 but I did see alot of people using them with the ammo 2300. Should I switch to the ammo 2300 and use the x power or switch to the mystery 200 and use the 8xl? (i have a micro drifter project I'm doing right know and it's sucking up my money)

Its really a toss up. Either direction will work.

Stay within an Octura x642 to x645 or a CF45.

DO NOT use a CF45 prop! you will blow your x100. A 642 would be the most for that esc. Not that its not a quality esc but you will see decent speeds with a 642. You could go with a bit more from there but I know there are at least 100A spikes with a cf45 prop. not that its constant but might as well not blow it before you get to use it!

I have decieded to go up to at least a 120 amp esc to be safer. I also want to get as much speed out of it as possible. Mich maniac your set up is the baseline and you got great speed out of it. Can't wait to test.

I was thinking these props with a Hydra 120, sorry.

[hex-dj]

62 bugzilla I suggest you can use from x 637 to x 640 with that motor and esc combination.

Hex,, Please make sure you read the posts clearly, I stated he might as well NOT blow it before using it.

Thanks

Guys read what he posted he will run his 8XL on 2s2p. that motor will not have enough KV on that voltage and would have to swing a large prop to move.

Now if he is running 4s1p or 4s2p with the x power 100 esc an x438 y535 y536 would be the choices I would use. IMO 45mm props are to much for that esc.


bugzilla I would use the bigger esc on that set up.

I posted wrong on the batterys 4s1p is what I'm going to use and a larger esc now after all your input. At least a 120 amp.
