Prop suggestions for OSE Raider 34M

It depends on how hard you load the motor. The harder you load it, the more the efficiency drops. Running easy, 95% efficiency is easily obtained. Propped very hard, the same motor can dip to 85% or less efficiency.

Id consider that overloading. The data log will show higher wattage than continuously rated for. That's what I thinks happening to you both. Just too much prop.

Loading harder than rated? Absolutely. My continuous current draws often exceed the peak ratings. Just gotta cool the crap out of it!

Does it smoke? Yes. Overloaded or undercooled.
Does it not smoke? All good!

Haha!

except youre only seeing 55mph. basically 4s territory. Id lay money that you'd go faster with a lower KV.

I think you?ve got me mixed up with the original poster in this thread. My Q Mono goes 74 and my P Mono goes 65.
