Finally I got an update for you guys. First, I got my quad up and flying today. I changed the motors to a 1240kv motor and it took off like a champ. Next, I am going to replace the frame because I feel like the vibration from the frame is hindering my overall stability. Second, I ended up...

Hello All, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to choose the best propellers for motors. Is there a formula I should know where I would just need to plug in some numbers or is it just from experience?

What I am doing is getting a 4S battery and new motors. First I will probably just switch out the motors to see if that works. I should be getting my new motors sometime next week. I will update this thread when I get them and am up and flying. =) You all have been great with the help.

3S-4S is what is on the website.

I bought my motors from HobbyKing. I thought at the time they would work, but I failed to realize that I need a 4S instead of a 3S battery. I just bought new ones that are 1240KV, I think that will do the trick and they will run on 3S batteries from everything that I checked and from the specs.

Yeah, I think I will just go and order new ones, I should get them in a few days.

I do have another 3S battery, but it is not the same mah. Does that matter? Checking on a 4S battery now.

It is a 3S, you suggest using a 4S? Could you explain why? Sorry, I am really new and don't know much about quads and just slowly learning the intricacy behind it.

I'm running the Talon v2 frame from Hobbyking. It looks like I should have room to run 12 inch blades. it will be tight, but it is doable. Also, I'm very happy we didn't find this out to begin with because I learned a hell of a lot going through your guys other suggestions. I really appreciate...

I thought that could have been the problem too. When I ordered my program card I also ordered bigger props. Not sure if they will be big enough. How do you know if you have gotten the correct props? I've tried searching online for either a table/method or a simply way to calculate what type of...

Forums have been invaluable to me, but damn it I must get this working. Problem is I work and live in Santa Cruz and do not drive. That makes travel a bit hard for me. Hopefully when I get the program card this will work. If not, then I will just buy new ESC and then maybe motors if need be, but...

I live in Santa Cruz, CA. I met a guy recently at a festival in Capitola. I think I'll send him an email if the esc program card doesn't help.

I agree. I hope getting the ESC program card will help with this and maybe it is something that I have overlooked. Worst case scenario I buy new motors and ESC if I must.

I was at 100% throttle.

Here is my new video. I've calibrated my ESC. It seems like it is working better, but I am still not able to get air. It just sorta tilts on onside. I've already ordered my ESC program card and it should be here by the end of the week, I hope. I ordered it from hobbyking USA wearhouse. I won't...
