RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness
This is a response to a post by Larry a few days ago.
The stock stryker is a bit weak, but you can get a lot more performance out of the stock motor.
1. Bigger battery. I use a 3S 3200mah.
2. Heat sink. I made one. You can go back a few pages and find it. Or you can buy one.
3. Try a 7x5 pusher prop. You'll get almost unlimited vertical, bunch more thrust and a bit higher top speed. Way more fun.
I wouldn't run the 7x5 without a heat sink. You could with some throttle control (15 seconds WOT max). I also used a 40 amp ESC, but the 30 should handle it. With a heat sink, I run WOT the whole time with no problems.
