Zagi Tazz LiPo set up?
I am a long time "slimer" flyer that is slowly succumbing to the electric side of the hobby. My first experience with LiPo batteries will be to set up my trusty Zagi Tazz. I am currently running the stock brushless motor w/Castle Creations Phoenix 25 and 8-cell, 1800 mah NiMh battery that came with the kit. We ran this set up with a 3S LiPo pack Monday night and my WattsUp showed over 40 amps at full throttle, even with a 4.75x4.75 APC prop. Obviously that isnt going to work!
Will I ever be able to prop this set up down enough or am I looking at a new motor and or speed controller?
The experienced e-flyers at the field thought maybe a 4x4 prop or maybe a Master Airscrew since they are less efficient.
If a motor and or ESC is in order, any suggestions on a motor to run with this ESC (or motor/ESC combo) that would give good perforance on the Zagi?
Bear with me as I am learning as I go here. Thanks.
