So for a project this spring, I went and got me the Scorpion y650 y6 frame and have been working through the steps to get it up and running. Currently, i'm going with 6 Turnigy D2836/9 950KV Brushless Outrunner Motors with Turnigy 30A ESC's and 10x4.7 GWS props. A KK2.0 LCD FC board is the brain of it all and everything is going to be powered by a Turnigy nano-tech 65 ~ 130c 3s 5000mAH battery. is the battery a bit too much? im going for flight time with everything on this setup with the eventuality of a FPV rig.
My Scorpion Y650 y6 build
- Thread starter Segodogos
- Start date
Been a bit busy (and broke after I bought my GoPro H3 black edition) so I haven't had the time or money to work on anything.
other than choosing what TX and RX I want to use, im having a bit of difficulty figuring out my prop mounts.
the motors I bought came with spinners. it looks as if im to screw a pre-balanced prop onto the threads of the spinner, but the threads are a bit to wide for the prop...
Am I supposed to widen the hole on the props individually or do I need to buy different props?

generally, the plastic props have a 5.5 to 7 or so mm hole, which one inserts a bushing into to fit the prop shaft. i do not use GWS myself, so not sure if they follow suit with the other mfgrs.
anyway, to fix it, if needed:
prop reamer
dubro used to make a good one.
tower hobbies probably has it and maybe some others.
hand powered, usually work well and do not generally out of round or off center the hole, like a drill bit in a power tool can.
