Rebuilt tricopter, for longer flight time.

Hello,I really like my tricopter to fly with it, but my ESC or motor on the left front arm doesn't work very good. But it is okay, I already fly it about 5 months and want to have longer flight time.I fly with a 2200mah 3S I fly 8 minutes, but I still want to fly for longer, so I was thinking maybe a bigger battery or motors with a lower kv and a bigger prop.So I go for the lower kv motor. Off course it is more expensive but I want some new motors too, so that's why!I want to film with the tri, so it need to fly slow and nice.The setup for now isMotors: DT750ESC 20A SimonkKK2.0And a orange rx receiver.And a spectrum dx6iI was thinking at these motorshttp://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__48103__Turnigy_4206_530kv_Brushless_Multi_Rotor_Motor_EU_Warehouse_.htmlBut then I need to remplace my ESC too.Prop I don't know!Is the motor good?It is the frame from rcexplorer

  • Okay, i will do this later on the day or tomorrow, now I do not have much time, and I want to take the time for this.
    • PS, I've still regularly using 4s on my tricopter (unmodified) other than losing a prop from the extra power (having too much fun with the power) motors and esc's are fine.

      • Have fun with 4s!!!!! When I have a 4S I will try it!! Do you want to post a video on 4S? That will look so cool!!!
        • I've just got myself a mobius, so will see what's that's like.

          My flying style even on 3s leads to unwatchable video from an onboard camera...

          • i have got a mobius too! they are very good cameras for me! but you can make a video from the sight, it does not need to be the best video in the world :)

            • I've done a Video, unedited, but it's a video...

              • on board, lots of jello...

                • I solve the jello by making a battery tray under the tri, it is like rcexplorers design but not with Metal rod's but with thik zipties, but then i had the problem that is wobbels from Side to Side i solved it by talking a small Metal rod and gluing it to the Side of the zipties.
                  • I spent an hour last night re-balancing all my props (including spares) and 30 mins this morning balancing 1 of the motors (another 2 to do)... 

                    then today my prop order arrives (the new slo-fly props I bought previously have a weak blade root and don't last long on 4s)

                    so now I have another pile of props to balance.

                    I got a few of these to try...

        • I was both brave and silly and made my 4s from 3s packs, adding an extra cell and redoing all the soldering balance leads etc. not recomended. for safty, I discharged to 3v per cell before doing any soldering though. 

          I just got from Ebay 2x 4000 6s packs. so these are going to be another 3x 4s packs...

          I might take photo's this time round... (they look unused and I needed some decent 4s for my jet)
