Hi i live in Utah and i bought a yard stik last year for christmas and the 280 motor that came with it didn't even come close to getting it off the ground. I am using the great planes C-10 esc (i think thats the name) the 10 amp one with a 4 channel receiver and then 9.6v batteries that are 750mah in a 2/4 pattern. when i changed from the regualer 6 cell battery that came with it to the 8 cell battery packs it actually got off the ground but couldn't hold it up because of a lack of power. So what i am wondering is, i've been looking at a brushless system with lipo batteries and im wondering what motor and speed controller and battery would work best for my application. One thing i don't understand is that the 280 motor that came with the plane said it did about 29,000rpm but then all these brushless motors im looking at are only around 4000rpm. Does it matter if the brushless spin alot slower? Thanks i hope you understand what im trying to ask.
