Hey Jon - I'll go check those out this evening.

I did A LOT of reading beforehand and seems there are mixed reviews on how you can do it. Had several conversations with an electrical engineer as well. Which is why I went to a power meter to see for myself how it was going to operate. I've seen it written both ways in that one thing kills the motor or this other thing kills the motor and then the argument ensues....blah blah blah. I'm afraid I'm just going to give it a shot and see how it goes. If it goes up in smoke then its on me. After a few days of reading there didn't seem to be a definitve answer and there are multiple opinions. I can tell you that turning down the end point DOES decrease the amperage that the motor pulls and that my whole setup sees going through it. It also slows the RPM enough to keep it and the wattage within spec with the given prop. Keeps the voltage going out of the esc to the motor within spec as well. If I change to another prop I just have to hook the power meter back up and would be able to increase/decrease the end point depending on the prop. The problem with changing to a lower pitch prop and not turning down the endpoint is that the motor sees higher RPM than its built or rated for and you start having other problems like bearing failure, etc. The only thing that is different at this point in my setup is the voltage being seen by the esc, which is rated for 6s. Well that and the fact that the amperage is significantly less than when its on 4s. I can post all the numbers later tonight if anyone wants to see them. I found it rather interesting when I got to messing with it. Didn't exactly react the way I expected but I'm going with the old theory of the numbers don't lie. My opinion is that the amperage is what will kill the motor the fastest as it can't dissipate enough heat and once it gets to a certain point it just snowballs and poof. We'll see how it turns out.
