Me as a modder for scale fidelity can see the desire to want to put larger props on which would necessitate the need for a larger motor.
If I remember early on in this thread I answered someone's call to this if there was room for a larger motor and it was something like it is a very limited space in the cowl for both width and depth.
The stock power system on this is unbelievably efficient/powerful and for the level of effort and expense required to modify it for scale props of 12" diameter is actually for the first time something I will not do.
Regarding the BEC if going 6S...……….a BEC has everything to do with current demands by all other electronics and not the motor system.
The size and quantity of control surface servos and etracts is what factors the BEC amperage service size.
When I parallel wired the motors I also swapped out the stock 5A UBEC for a 10A that I had in inventory.
When it comes to system current demands I always want the ESC and BEC/UBEC to be 15-20% greater than what the motor or the flight systems are max rated for.
I your greatest hurdle to overcome on a power upgrade is room for a larger motor.
I'm really just enjoying this bird in its stock form which for those that know me are
Best regards,
