I thought I saw a recommedation somewhere but don't remmember. i just purchased the E-Flight F-15. What motors do you guys recomend. I was looking on DonsRC site and noticed there was a recommencation for the 4000kv motor but also noticed there was a 3 blade impeler so now I am confused. My F-15 has a 6 blade fan. Also I have quit a few extra ECS's laying around. Is standard timing ok or would it be better if I could adjust the timing?

You just remove three of the blades on your 6 blade rotor to make it a 3 blade rotor. Some have used the Wicked 4800 on 3S lipo (about 650 total watts). Ffor the Wicked 4000s you need to go to 4S which is about 950-1000 total watts.

on second thought...1000 watts sounds exciting.
