I have the kyosho AP29 motor on a shock 3d from CG and im running an 8X4 prop. I also have the 1500mah electrifly 2cell lipos from GP GPMP0830. The battery seems to be getting warm very quickly. Could it be from the prop? Should I drop down to a 7X4?? According to the instructions with the battery, it should be able to handle speed 400 size motors. Or should I just drop to a hot bb 280 motor with a gearbox? What do you guys think?

I had the same question a while back. I got some good feedback from it. As a mater of fact you even posted a reply on there asking the same question but did not get a reply. If you go back and read the replys I got I think you will find that you may be running too big a prop. The other guys are running smaller props. Sorry I can't help more.

Just wanted to add that I haven't tried mine out yet. We still have snow on the ground here in MN. I am running with a kokam 2000 2s bat pack so hope the amp draw should be ok. I will try a 7-4 prop first. Also, I have not used Electrfly batteries but read a thread earlier where some guy ask which batteries where the best. Electrifly did not get very good reviews. Just passing on the info.

Thanks for the info, im going to try the smaller prop. Any idea why the electrilfy batteries didnt get such a good rating?
