I'll post some pics of this build in it's appropriate thread later on but I need to ask about battery voltage. I'm using four 3520 400kv T Motors. In the spec's, these motors are rated for up to 8S. I'm running them on 6S. In the specs, they state that these motors (at 6S while turning a 15x7 prop) will pull 28 max amps. Well, I'm no genius but I can do the math of 28 x 4 = 112. That being 112 amps (at full throttle). I have several 6S 3700mah 45C packs. If I do this equation correctly: 3700 x 22.2 / 1000 = 82.14 (Capacity x voltage / 1000 = Max Amp Capacity). So, one of my packs won't last long in this configuration. Since I began this project, I was thinking that using two of my packs, in parallel. That would be 7400 x 22.2 / 1000 = 164.28 Max Amp Capacity. That being said, two packs (in parallel) would handle the amp draw.
Am I thinking about this properly?
