Would like to stay with the 3 cell batteries since I already have some. Just would like to find out what going to a bigger higher wattage motor would do to my flight times assuming I am using the same prop. Since both motors would be 1000kv motors, does the amperage, RPM, and wattage stay about the same? Only difference would be that the bigger motor would not have to work as hard and stay cooler? Would the bigger 800 watt motor only draw about 200 watts like the smaller one since it is spinning the same prop?
