| While the RPM calculator or the like will give you a decent indication of what to expect for a max head speed with a given battery/motor/pinion combo, it tells you nothing about the power capabilities of that combo.
Using K.C.'s spreadsheet which takes into account losses in the batteries, wiring, ESC, motor, and gear train to analyze the combos Saint728 gives, I get the following.
Using a TP 4S4P-8000 battery pack and allowing the head speed to drop a maximum of 150 RPM for each setup and specifying 350 W for hover power...
Fun 600-17
16-tooth: 1864 RPM at hover, 621 W max at 1714 RPM, 50.2 A peak
15-tooth: 1747 RPM at hover, 639 W max at 1597 RPM, 51.9 A peak
Fun 600-18
14-tooth: 1818 RPM at hover, 667 W max at 1668 RPM, 53.5 A peak
13-tooth: 1688 RPM at hover, 689 W max at 1538 RPM, 55.6 A peak
Now, with a 5S4P pack...
Fun 600-17
13-tooth: 1950 RPM at hover, 771 W max at 1800 RPM, 48.3 A peak
Fun 600-18
12-tooth: 1998 RPM at hover, 813 W max at 1848 RPM, 47.7 A peak
Maybe that is more useful info than what I first posted above. Max power is dependent on how much you are willing to allow the head speed to drop. Let me know if you would like a different amount (or percentage) of drop.
