4S on 3DR Y6? over watt for motors?

Posted by Raph on November 1, 2013 at 9:15am

Hello,

I'm curious how many people are using 4S batteries with their Y6 and how it performs. I was planning on trying a couple 4S batteries, but whenever I do any calculations on ecalc with a 4S battery, it says over power (260w vs 200w rating for the 850kv motors)

could this be right? or am I not entering the correct information?

    I tried using 3S and could not get enough lift, so I switched to 4S. (Brushless gimbal attached) I'm still tuning and trying to get a stable flight. My Y6 is a conversion from a 3DR Hex.

    I am using 4s 5000's on my hex but have the larger black motors.

    It's been working well for me so far. Motors are slightly warm after a flight but far from hot.
