RE: CAN i use a 1280 prop for the slow stick
It depends on the battery you're using mostly. As you put larger and larger props on the motor, it draws more and more current (Amps). If you're using the stock 6-cell 7.2 Volt battery, a 1280 prop won't cause the motor to draw too many Amps. The 7-cell 8.4 Volt battery is borderline; you can get away with it if you keep your full throttle run time to a minimum. Forget about it if you're using the 8-cell 9.6 Volt battery.
