5 inch looks like it barely fits on the rear motors, but deff not going on the front.. unless you remove the aluminum cam housing and make a custom mount. Interesting Idea though, thanks for the post!

I had two Bobcats, so I tried the 5 inch props.. note the arms are closer together on the second bobcat.

Thanks for the comparison! Does look like it almost worked. I want to run the fpv cycle 2203 motors but debating on 2800kv or 3450kv. Planning on mainly 3s li-ion batteries but have 4s li-ions too. 2800 might be a little slow for 3s but seems similar to your motor kv on 4s. If I did go 3450kv I could go 2-4s, but 2800kv will be better if 5 in was possible, decisions decisions.

Hey, thanks for the comment! it's really planted and a lot quieter than I expected. Solid daily, and now we're going to give it a Doug score..

lool I bet you'd get at lot of control with those beefy motors and triblades compared to the more tame 1404 indeed. Thanks for sharing!

newbeedrone flow motors. 2004 size, 1750 kv. they sell a pack of 8 motors for around 80 dollars. they call it the 8 motor special.

Cheers! Are you mainly flying this as a freestyle drone or more cruiser-style? I am trying to find an efficient sweet spot for 4" props (bi-blade if possible) and big enough motors to transport a 4S Li-Ion and a naked Hero 8. With the stock Armattan 1404's I feel like I am carrying a sack of potatos. It flies.. but boy it's sketchy.

Yea 1404 sounds like it would be a little rough. I fly a little cruisy between power loops and dives but deff not steele style. A Li ion build would be pretty cool though.

That's awesome. I decided to give those motors a try and see what 3 blades can do. Give her some life. Care to share your CLI dump? Interested mainly in the tune. I'm still learning so i like to use references when I'm building something similar. Thanks!
