they have a 5-6 & 8mm bore on em, to use the 8mm you use a drill and bail the smaller section.... i have a thread in the dji forum on it..... search "8 & 9 prep"
one other thing i just remembered, the bottoms of suppo have a big aluminum thing with set screws. You gotta drill out your arms for the thing to fit down in. I think it's 3/8" drill, biggest drill usually for the small drill. You also only use 2 of the bolt holes. I've been like that for hundreds of flights, no problems. Almost everybody using bigger motors on dji use only 2 bolts, they put a whimpy motor bolt spacing thing on us

that's where your gonna run into trouble, nobody sell lipos with deans that im aware of. They threated to sue everybody last year and there all on ther eown now..... you need a solder gun and need to learn the hobby. They have little pencil irons at hardware/tool stores for $5.... weller guns are $30..... it's gonna come up over and over playing with hobby grade stuff, they expect you to do it, labor of love kinda thing

OMG SWEET SPOT!!!Where is the suppo guy? Need to know if I get them without having to solder.
Right here! Kloner PM'd me and said you were looking at these motors. The iPowers do come with bullets pre-soldered; the Suppos do not, but we can solder them on for you. We normally don't do it, but I'd be happy to help you out. Send us an email if you have more questions: altitudehobbies@gmail.com
Thanks,
Garret

I found one, a little pricey: http://www.venom-group.com/40C-4S-3500mah-14-8v-LiPO-Hrdcase-UNI.html
There's a few different brands out there with deans, just got to look for one with a good price.

by the way, i bought all the graupner prop adapters they had in stock today. if you need four, i'll sell em for what i paid. the big kicker is shipping, they get me for $22 whether it's a prop adapter or 8 props and 12 adapters. $5 of it is a straight handling charge.
If you need props, Lou has great deals and ships fast

and your motors come with prop adapters, i've just never tried using them. They compress on with the prop bolt instead of having grub screws on the motors shaft.

if you use the prop adapters that come with the suppos, your 8" graupners go straight onto the adpters that come with the motors. There 5 or 6mm....... no adapters he's talking about
if you get the v-east ones form me, you wouldn't need any adapters either, just have to completely ream out the 8" graupner to fit.
