Is my mini quad 4S compatible? |

02-Feb-2016, 11:07 PM Be careful some 1806 like emax can't handle 4s. Even if the ESC is capable of 4s you need to make sure that they can handle the amount of amp draw. With your setup you'd be better of sticking with 3s until you start running bigger motors and higher amp esc's. Multistar or nano techs are really good for the price. I wouldn't spend too much on them as everyone eventually goes to 4s (once you go 4s then you can invest in some higher end lipos). Drone labs seems to really popular out in the UK with the guys I talk to out there but not sure about there prices. 02-Feb-2016, 11:07 PM I have a drone lab lipo for my v2 goggles lol but it's to low to run on my quad... I had 1500mah 25c 3s before 02-Feb-2016, 11:09 PM With multistars, get the 1400mah 40-80c. Nano techs go with 1300mah 45-90c. These are very affordable, usually you can buy 2-3 of these for the cost of 1 high end lipo and are just as good. Wait till you use the higher c rating batteries, you'll feel silly you ever used anything less. 04-Feb-2016, 09:59 AM (02-Feb-2016, 11:05 PM)CurryCat Wrote: I want a faster quad and I have been told to get some 4S Lipo batteries, but unsure if my mini quadcopter is compatible? Your frame will handle 4S ..not really that relevant..as it is just a frame, and so long as the width and height fit..all good. :-) 1806-2300kV motors depending on brand will take 4S (I run some DYS 1806-2300's on 4S no problem) 10Amp ESC's will run 4S ..for a very very short time. (I wouldn't even risk it myself) Highly recommend 20amp + the Naze32 will handle 4S, so long as input voltage to board is via onboard PDB BEC or standalone BEC Assuming you will be running FPV gear, just make sure your FPV cam and VTX can support 4S, a lot can, and a lot can't, |
