ORIGINAL: rceccleston When comparing the power, would the 5055-430Kv not perform well if not better on a 16x10 prop?
Hello rceccleston: Great to see you posting. <span style="font-size: medium">Please continue to contribute.
</span>I have looked at the table you uploaded as a PDF file, and I post it here as a JPG file. I have 2 questions:
1. The table says "Stator" for each motor in the list -However, this is<u>not</u> stator size, it is the external dimensions of the motor.
The SK3 5045-size motor -has a 4020 stator;
The SK3 5055-size motor -has 4030 stator etc etc
see:

2.Out of interest, where did you get the table from ?</p>
3. As for which prop might perform "best" with the SK3 5055-430Kv motor, it seems difficult to say without real test data for this motor.
Also it depends whether you are using 5S or 6S LiPo ...?.
Its Kv of 430 is close to the Kv of the Hacker A50-14 S motor (Kv 424) -and this 14-S motor on 6S LiPo, with a large prop, might well give currents significantlygreater than 70A, which is its rated max peak current ...?
-Simulations onDriveCalc may help, but we cannot do these for theTurnigy SK3 5055-430Kv motor, until we have reliable test data for this motor.
