Similar Scenario. Ebay 2200KV and Power pack C motors with F-22 Raptor.
I have a similar scenario. This is the set up I purchased on Ebay to get some more speed out of my Raptor:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/RC-2200KV-B...d=100338&rk=3&rkt=28&mehot=pp&sd=291474598267
I'm using a 2200KV-Brushless-Motor-2212-6, thunder power 910mah battery and a 7 X 5 prop (someone at the field gave the prop to me and said, "Here try this. This will be faster." (That may be my problem, "hot" prop.)
The JST connectors started to melt on the ESC side, lol. Luckily I brought her down when I did.
I knew I was running a "hot" setup and I was warned about the small JST wires being limited to a certain amperage and possibly melting but I was not expecting such immediate results.
Criticism and Recommendations are welcome : )
Rest assured, I did not come on the Flite Test forum to boast about my Ebay purchase. I also purchased the Power Pack C with twin motors recently. I want to get my friends into flying so I bought the twin pack with them in mind.
I wanted to know if there is a prop size recommended for the 2200kv on the F-22. And would an 8 X 6 be too much prop for the motors that came with the power pack c. (Emaxx GT2215/09's)
Thank you in advance for any advice given, Johnny J.
PS. I bought my first brushless motor from COBRAMOTORSUSA. They were recommended by my local hobby shop Uncle Don's in Palm Desert. I have to say that they have the best prop chart and specs for each motor that I have ever seen on a website or anywhere.
Any other sites to recommend that have the same amount of info and specs for motors?
Example:
http://www.cobramotorsusa.com/motors-2208-34.html

versus
http://www.lazertoyz.com/GT221509-70g_p_25.html
BIG DIFFERENCE!
Thanks Again and Happy Flying.
