Don,

I have a Parkzone Stryker C. What motor, esc, prop, lipo combination would you suggest for speed of 85+ and great climbing ability?

From what I have read the Styker is kind of a power hog for higher speeds. The Wicked 2700 on 3S and a 6 x 4 APC prop will get you 80mph pitch speed and about 28-30 ounces of thrust.

Don I moved this back to top to see if I could get an opinion from you if this would work ok with throttle control. The numbers are static and done with what I have as far as meters go. I just want an opinion as you posted a 6X4 above but that would push the 1800 mah 3S 25C batteries harder than I want. I don't mean to push but just thought your opinion good or bad would be of help at this time as you have done test on these motors with lower C rated batteries but want to use what I have to try at this time. Your opinion would mean a bunch to me at this time!
Thanks Slowdargon

The APC 6 x 4 is basically about the same watts and amps as the numbers you posted onthe 4.7 x 5.5 prop but the 4.7 x 5.5 prop generally is what I would use on a cleaner airframe. The pitch speed might be high but you need pitch speed as well as thrust. I have never flown a Stryker before but from what I have read they need lots of watts to go 100mph (like 400 or 500watts). So even if you get a 123 mph pitch speed I bet it will not go over 85-90mph on that prop.

Thank you for that info a little new at this and this means a bunch coming from you !!! This speed thing is a tuff road. Thanks Slowdragon

This is a thank you for great little motor and to say the numbers I am seeing are saying this motor more than 2700 kv. Now I am no expert at this but looks like a great motor for the money. I flew the Stryker and it flew great on this motor for me with a 4.7x4.7 Graupner Cam prop the best numbers I see with this setup and my meters and tools are 29 to 30 amps and 320 to 330 watts 25,000 rpm plus on 3S 1800 mah 25C batteries. This flew the Strayker nice and I launched it half throttle and was nice easy launch in 6 or a little better wind. I then ran it hard but with throttle management and got three minutes flight and landed with all three cells showing 3.84. Completely satisfied!
Thanks again for great motor and great service!!!!!!!!! Slowdragon

Ok a little update on the Stryker with Wicked 2700. What a nice setup as the head gets on right with the speed of this setup I see that the numbers that I stated could be more than 2700 kv more than likely due to my not taking into account the 3S 25C GT series batteries from 2dogrc that are being used. I have many flights on this setup now and more than say thanks to Don for all his help and this is by far one of the nicer setups I have used including the Dualsky batteries.Great service from both the above vendors. Starting to get the speed bug more everyday. Thanks Again slowdragon

Don, would i be able to hit triple digits with this set up?
4s 2250 20c
40 amp esc
2700 kv motor
4.7X4
hs-81 servos
TIA

It should unless the Styker has more drag than I think. I got into the 120s with my 36" Ritewing Lightning and a 4.5 x 4 prop. I have never used a bigger prop then that on 4S so be careful.
