Default Opinions for good Motor and esc for a Dji550 please.

As per previous post, im the proud owner of a dji 550 frame with fc and errr nothing else lol. AS it was the frame only rather than the artf. What would you guys recommend for motors, props and esc's for this setup.

Thanks in advance.

Col.

Hi fella.

I'm building a 550 too - but it's taking time as it costs too much !

I've got the Sunnysky motors on mine - 2122 980KV I think. From bang good.com.

Motors are superb, lovely and smooth - highly recommended.
Also - putting a Tarot Gimbal on mine with Aeroxcraft landing gear.
DJI Naza lite on this one too - for safety when funds permit!

Andy.

Just out of curiosity how do you know what rating you need for the motors .

Iv read good things about the sunnyskys on here and don't mind ordering overseas and take my time as just like yours its going to cost a bit to spec up.

Thanks

Col.

I run my f550 with the std dji motors with graupner 9x5 props.
If I were to upgrade the motors I would prob go for either the 800 KV or 900 KV motors with 10" props, this would achieve a little more efficiency and longer flight time.
Sunnysky motors are nice, I have the 900 kv's on my discovery.
Quadcopters.co.uk sell the torxpower motors, not a bad price too, ideal if you want peace of mind if any problems arise.

I've just ordered the sunnysky 2216-11 900kv motors from banggood yesterday for my TBS discovery.
http://www.banggood.com/Sunnysky-V22...l-p-78177.html
Just had the mail to say they have shipped, so got the long wait now...

I'm running with graupner eprop 10x5 props on 3S at the moment, no plans to change, but I do find the props a little brittle. The slightest touch of anything kills a prop. I think 9x5 would be a better size on the TBS discovery, as I just get the tips in the gopro picture with 10x5s.

I'm replacing my DJI 2212/900kv motors, which i'll move onto the 330 sized fun/trick quad I've decided to build.
