Needs a bit more power so will be upping the props to 8*5 or 9*4.5.

System should be ok up to about 45 amps so plenty of leeway to play with.

Dougie,

The speedos and motors may be rated above 45 amps per prop, but it's beyond the current capacity of the LiPo by some margin.

Ian,

Each motor has its own 3s Lipo, they are not in series or parallel.

The lipos are 3700, 20c - so rated for 74 amps draw max.

Even allowing a considerable safety margin , they should be good for 40 amps plus.
