if you go to 4S you Cannot use the same prop..you will have to go down in diameter and pitch or youll have a smoker!!
the more cells the less prop! never forget it..
Is that because if you have higher volts, then the motor must be allowed to burn through the higher volts by spinning faster? So like, if you go up in cell count (and volts) without changing down from the larger prop, then the motor can't spin faster with the over-sized prop and the extra volts then go to maker the motor hotter?

I'm trying out electric soon too. This is a really informative thread.

Cheers
