You can start with a smaller prop, see how many amps it draws, go up on the prop size, and read how many amps it is drawing so you don't pull more than the ESC, motor or battery can handle. Looking under the specs of the motor, it does not list the max anything. So I looked at another one to get an idea. It said 17 amps for 60 seconds. That would be a close enough. So if you are pulling some where around 10 to 15 amps, give or take a little.

They recommend 2s-4s battery 8X4-8X6 prop. So start with a 3s 6x4 and see what you get. If the watts are down, step up the prop and see what the next one does.

My guess, the motor will run an 8x6 prop on a 2s battery. If you try that with a 4s battery, it may spin it, but not for long.

To me a few extra smaller props is cheaper than letting out that magic smoke
