You really should be using 4S on this, around 4000mH.

10 inch CF props will work well on this. My preference is for Graupner E-Props, the 10x5's would be about right.

Get 30A ESC's, Afro's are better.

Do you Think I could stay with the current ESC's to keep the costs down but have the same performance as the afros?
