Is It Worth Upgrading to 8s Power?

We took the @fmsmodelRC 8s 1500kv motor and 120 amp ESC combo and tossed them into the E-flite Viper 90mm RC plane. It's debatable as to whether this is truly an upgrade overall, as some aspects of the jet do suffer while others improve. You get more low-end thrust at the cost of higher end speed. This could also be a case of wind interference, but the model's tendency to stall easier is definitely a consequence of adding more weight to the wings. It can be a super upgrade for those of you who want the most power under any circumstance. 👀 Like what you see? ✈️ Pick up your own Viper 90mm: https://bit.ly/3JGRS30 🌬️ FMS 8s 1500kv motor: https://bit.ly/FMS1500kv ⚡ FMS 120 amp ESC: https://bit.ly/FMS120ampESC 🔋 SMC Batteries We're flying on SMC Batteries from www.smc-racing.com and you should too.

Larry's afterburners look amazing - brighter than what you can get elsewhere, and cheaper too: https://fiftytwoeightyrc.com/products/eflite-viper-70mm-flicker-led-afterburner 🙋‍♂️Connect With Us On Social 💻 Two Brothers Discord: https://discord.gg/Tt5ByVbhSc ⌛ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jonsynrc 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TwoBrosRC 🎥: @rcpilotwill 📦 Products We Recommend Receivers: Spektrum AR10360T Receiver: https://bit.ly/3SuAlPv Spektrum AR8360T Receiver: https://bit.ly/3QBdgtc Spektrum AR637T Receiver: https://bit.ly/3dCjiuO Transmitters: IX20SE: https://bit.ly/3BI3eBD IX20: https://bit.ly/3BQvB0u NX10: https://bit.ly/3Qm6BSR NX8: https://bit.ly/3bA4dcA NX6: https://bit.ly/3QlIF27 Servos: AGFRC B13DLM: https://tinyurl.com/B13DLM AGFRC B11DLS: https://tinyurl.com/B11DLS Hitec HS-85MGs: https://bit.ly/3dD1r7c Batteries: 4s 30c 2200 Smart packs: https://bit.ly/3SsoUrB 4s 50c 2200 Smart packs: https://bit.ly/3dcdBU3 6s 50c 5000 Smart packs: https://bit.ly/3A0jVY2 6s 50c 4000 Smart packs: https://bit.ly/3JANxOL #rc #aviation #rcplane rc plane, aeroplane, rc planes, airplanes, airplane, aircraft, model airplane, flying model, tutorial, learn to fly, crash, rc plane crash, plane crash, tail heavy productions, brian phillips, rc saylors, the rc geek, flite test, flitetest, petrincic bros rc, eflite, horizon hobby products, horizon hobby, e-flite, viper, eflite viper, viper 90mm, 90mm edf, edf jet, sport jet, viperjet, fms motor, fms 1500kv, 1500kv 0:00 Introduction 1:25 Takeoff w/ 8s 3600 HV 3:30 High Alpha Performance 4:20 Landing & Battery Swap 5:40 Speed Testing w/ 8s 4400 HV 8:20 Touch & Goes 9:45 Landing & Battery Swap 10:47 Performance Flying w/ 8s 4400 HV 13:58 Landing & After-flight Thoughts 15:47 Tradeoffs on 8s Systems
