I've had the Neptune for some time and do love how it flies, but was thinging the other day how can I get a little more speed? I was wondering have any of you ever changed out the 6 blade to a 12 blade. Just wondering how that would word or it would add some more speed or maybe to much for it?

Changing to a different blade count like that will probably mean changing the ESC also . The difference if blade count will mean more pull and the ESC will most likely heat up and shut off . best way to do it is to increase the amps size from what is in it to prevent this from happening .

Additionally, motors tend to be more stout when going to high blade count fans. For example, the old "version 1" 90mm fans that came on Freewing EDFs had ESCs that were in the 80A (or less). The latest (version 2 and so called "high speed" versions) with high blade count fans, utilize ESCs that are up in the 130A or more and/or inrunner motors on "high speed" versions). You get more thrust with higher blade counts, spinning at more or less the same speed, but these draw way more amps and can put much more strain on the motor. One or the other or both may quit.

Thanks guy, I may just leave it like it is. It's pretty fast at around 80 or so. It was just a thought. It has a 40a esc and where I have it mounted it stays pretty cool running it pretty hard at around 4 to 5 minutes. I'll have to snap a pic sometime and show how I have it.Still Learning:D
