Does anyone have experience running a copter on a 8s system? I realize it's fairly new territory...

Thanks Old Man! I will give MaxxAmps a call. Ary, What thrust output are you getting and how many amps are you drawing with the 20" props on the 5215s??

I forgot to mention the AUW will be 19 KG. According to the KDE specs, on 6s the 5215-330kv motors will give 1900 g of thrust at 50% throttle with 18" props. 1900*8=1520 which leaves me a little underpowered. On 8s they put out 3350 g of thrust. 3350*8=26,800. This leaves some headroom and some...

Hi All, I'd like to run 8s on a new heavy lift build. 8s packs are hard to come by. I'm wondering if anyone has a good source for 8s packs? Ideally I want 12,000 mah packs. Here's what I'm building: Skyjib X4-XL Coaxial KDE 5215 - 330kv Motors, KDE 55AMp ESCs with 18" Props 2 X 12,000MAH...

@Carapau Between the Vulcan Raven and the SkyJib X4-XL, which frame to you think is better suited for heavy lifting? Do you find the construction to be better on one over the other? I'm on the fence between the 2 frames.

@teecee I'm planning on building almost the exact same rig as you. Skyjib X4XL Coaxial KDE 5215 - 330kv Motors, KDE 55AMp ESCs with 18" Props 2 X 12000MAH 8s lipos Power Hungry Power Distro A2 Flight Controller, BEC voltage stepdown Futaba 14SG TX for Pilot, Spektrum Dx8 for Gimbal MoVI...

Hi all, I'm hoping to get some feedback on my blackbox data from a scary flight I had last week with my SuperX Octocopter. I was filming some crops near some grain silos. There were some small microwave dishes and a few cellular antennas mounted to the top of the silos. I decided to fly...

I just ordered some KDE 4014s for my heavy lift octo, and I need to get this bird in the air soon for some upcoming projects. Unfortunately I can't wait until mid May for KDE to release their new ESCs, so I need to get something now. I've been hearing mixed reviews on using Maytech Esc's, and...
