Kde 600xf in G500?

[majorlemond]

I'm looking to upgrade my G500.

While I know the 550xf g3 will fit in a g500, I have the opportunity to pick
Up a 600xf 1175kv (gen 2 I believe) for a great price. It's 2mm wider, 6mm taller and 10 grams heavier than the 550 1200kv g3.

I know it will require the canopy to be modified but is there any reason I shouldn't run this motor. The specs seem very similar to the 550 except the 600 has 1000w higher power rating.

Will it destroy my batteries running moderate headspeeds (2500 Rpm)??

No if you run 12 to 12.5 degrees pitch and 2500 rpm its all good

if you start running 13 to 14 degrees pitch and 2700+ rpm the batteries will come down hot and you will get short flight times
