Cinistar 6 Motor choice

Greetings All,
I am building an Cinistar 6 for heavy lift ( canon 5D, sony handy cam ect. ) FC will be the WKM and batt will be 6S 5300 X2 in parallel, I am wondering if I could get some input on these 2 motors, actually just the diff in KV and which one would maybe be the best for longer flight times with adequate power.

The motor's I am looking at are the

[h=1]Tiger MN4014 Kv400
Tiger MN4014 Kv330[/h]
In the stock form I could run up to 15" props so I have plenty of clearance, for up to 15" props. I do not know that much about what the diff KV rating will be so I am hoping I can get some feedback, I will also have the CC ICE 50 ESC's this is what quadrocopter has recommended to me, any one know any thing about these esc's?

Thanks in advance for any input

Both motors have adequate power, and they can for sure do the trick. The lower the KV the more efficient on power consumption, if you use the right prop for the configuration you put on your copter. They are some good choices, I went with the tiger 4012 340kv. On the 4014 330kv the specs say at around 70% of power it should produce around 1220g with a 15inch prop, or about 2.7 lbs so when you are thinking out your build try to figure out the final weight, that can help you considerably in your design. And also think about for any reason if you have a motor failure, can the two motors on each side of that section support the extra weight they will endure at the time.

I have been using Maytech ESC's, All I can say they seem to have been good to date. They are a little more expensive then some, but seem to have a good rep.

good luck with your build.

Thanks for the reply I am trying to get all the weights down on paper so I will at least be close in AUW, I will plug in #'s then and see what we have
