Magin One – how do i make it faster

[Allen DannfaldParticipant @allendannfald45010]

I have recently just built and launched a Robbe Magin One and to be honest I am a little disappointed about its speed!. It is running 2x 7.2 volt batteries, its standard 700/12 motor but a Electronize FR15 ESC. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to speed it up a bit. Cheers

Having a 12V motor, it seems to me there is simply a lack of voltage…

Hi Allen Robbe recommend a 710 motor and a 12v battery pack.
What size prop are you using?

[Allen DannfaldParticipant @allendannfald45010]

Hi,
the motor is stock (think it is a 710) from the supplied power pack and i am running two 7.2v packs giving 14.4 volts.
The prop was also stock. I say stock, as it came off last week and am trying to get a replacement.
Any suggestions?

Hi Allen are you using NiMH Battery Packs as these dont often like being wired in series. If your motors are the 710s they should work on 12v. As you are getting a new prop remember small props are often better than large for speed. My Robbe PT 15 has a Mtronik vision 600 motor and a 35mm 2 blade prop and it flies.
