Hi all; long time lurker, first time poster here
Watching the FliteTest channel on YouTube got me really interested in Quadcopters, to the point where I'm now looking into building one for myself. I'm putting together a parts list loosely based on the build articles and parts suggestions for the Anycopter quad and the H quad here on FliteTest. I've found that HobbyKing has a ton of parts, but I've found many instances on their site where product information is simply non-existent.
I'm looking at these motors (hexTronik 24g 1300kv), but can't find any information about the shaft size. I'm guessing they're either 3mm or 3.175mm, but I don't really feel like placing an order based on a guess. I'd like to know so I can buy the right size prop adapters.
Does anyone know the shaft size on these motors?
Also, being noobish, I'm wondering how much of a difference prop pitch is going to have on performance/power draw for these motors. The HobbyKing page recommends 8x3.8 props, while FliteTest seems to like 8x4.5.
Will this small difference in prop pitch make much of a difference on these motors?
Thanks for your help!!
