Thanks for all the input, all good points. I think I will run the out thrust, there is always the possibility of one of the motors/ESC crapping out. I already planned to counter rotate the props, since it simply a matter of switching a couple of wires. Just not thrilled about buying more ESC's.

Hey Ustik.
I haven't heard of the Battery to ESC leads being problematic, I thought it was the ESC to motor side. What is considered "long"? I will have about 10"-12" between the Battery and ESC's.

keep those cards and letters coming.
