Hi Guys, I am new here, so please take it easy on me. I just got hold of a F550 with naza-m, has everything stock, waiting for new carbon props to arrive. I am running a 4s batteries and have some motors lying around from my old MK, just wondering if I would be able to hook these onto my F550 and 4s lipo?

They are, Turnigy 2213 924kv 17A Outrunner motors, which like I said, were running on my Quad MK, 10" props and 3s lipo. I have access to some more so I can have 6 for my Hex, would they be ok to put on and run smaller props?

Thanks heaps

Make sure the motor mounting holes will work with the F550 arms or you may have to modify them. The 924 has a recommended prop diameter of 11 inches which should fit on the F550 without props hitting each other. And it seems to me that 22 poles @ 924kv will give you the torque you require for a bigger pitch prop if needed. Use eCalc for Multicopters.... to gain some additional perspective on how it all fits together and the maximum airtime for the intended payload.

Thank you for your reply, I tried the calc, but to be honest, a little confusing. I tried to compare with the stock DJI motors, but they don't exist in the ecalc

doesn't matter.

i can't figure it out, the main reason i wanted to change, was the dji motors sounded aweful, that with the horrible dji props made for a bumpy ride and horrible jello. i have new carbon balanced props coming, but no matter what i did, couldn't get the jello out, even with the wire isolation that everyone seems to do didn't work for me.

on my vibration app this thing was shaking over 8 on the meter. videos i see were under 2.

yesterday i cracked it, by fluke.

The first part of the video shows the best i could get and shows jello, by the afternoon, was 100% free. can't wait for my gimbal to arrive now.

I noticed some jello on some of my videos, found out most of it was from the props where light was being interrupted by the props. I guess the Hz rate of the camera and the speed of the props was acting like a kind of strobe affect on the camera itself, of which appeared as Jello on mine.
