@viisshnu If you look at this bundle kit, they package it with 750 kV motors and 12x5.5 props. You’ll need to get yours close to but not to exceed those specs.
Good luck.
The motor description you gave is identical to these:
They come in a 750kV version…
Thank you Andre/Dave/Yaros/Amil . Do you think ESC with 30A and 6S lipo and 13.4 prop be sufficient to atleast take off ?
At this stage I want to atleast see it fly.

I posted about that above. Again:
Perhaps you could go as high as 2.8kg.
There are motor/prop/esc combinations that Alibaba sellers are offering ontop of the Tarot 690 frame that drop my jaw. Yes, they’re cheap, but rarely is there one that would at least seem to be able to take to the skyes. I convinced a guy I know to ask for refund, then he at least negociated for some BlHeli32 escs in place of the ancient Atmega8 Simonk ones in the kit, and I was able to lend him a 6S pack so he could take off and fly. Badly. Couldn’t do all three axis of Autotune in one go.
Generic “Simonk” ESC’s wrapped in red or yellow shrink tube.
No name motors with collet prop adapters, some of them Inrunner’s. These here look like the terrible motors that RC Timer used to sell. Maybe they still do.
Plastic props.
An APM Flight Controller that has been obsolete for 6 yrs.
Lot’s of foul bait around for the unwary. Unfortunately it seems the purchase is made and then the Ardcupter Wiki or forum is found.

Yeah, should be illegal to sell some of these combos 
We’ve bought plenty of cheap parts, and find out how they work and interact before upgrading to better higher-quality parts - but parts that just will not work together for the intended purpose are a total waste.
Hi @viisshnu,
Regarding your current setup, my suggestion will be to replace your motors by 2312A-960KV and also use a lighter battery 3S ~8A
That power system configuration is totally wrong.
Your ideal configuration is:
4S 5200 to 10000mAh Lipo
4006 740Kv motors (Don’t even think about using Tarot 4006-620Kv BTDT).
1355 props.
To get optimum flight times keep the Take Off Weight (The weight of the aircraft in a flight ready configuration) BELOW 3200 grams.
I have some 5010-750Kv motors and they cannot match the performance of MultiStar Elite 4006-740 Kv motors.
What motor battery and ESC config shd I hv to take about 4 lbs camera?

The camera and gimbal weigh 340 grams.
To carry 4 pounds of camera you are going to need a much larger frame with at least a 6S battery (probably in the 16,000 to 20,000 mAh range), powering something like 5008-300ish Kv motors swinging at least 17" to 18" props.
Use 14, 16, 18 props for your size motor. I tested Gartt motors they have a good price point.
Brandon, mate, a Tarot 690 can’t accomodate props bigger then 13".
With the matching ESC, the 5010-360kV could swing a 16x5.5 on 4S for a very nice efficiency back in the days of 8-bit ESCs and frequent desynchs.
Regardless of shoddy bearings and a too thin shaft for the size, they were my first motors swinging big props back then. Prolly like 7 years ago.
Just to inform you about my older model 550 Hexacoter with a total wheigt of 4.1kg (4095g)
30 Amp Hobbywing ESC - 6X
SunnySky 3108S 900Kv - 6X
Turnigy 8000mAh 4S - 2X (16000mAh)
9 inch 3 Blade Propeller HQ 9X5
Payload: Gimbal + GoPro Cam.
About 2 years ago did last Autotune, nothing changed since.
I have flown several long missions. No Problems.
This has become quite the entertaining thread.
Those cheap motors on 12S with 9" props and if you fly fast while filming with your 4lb camera it won’t catch fire.
In my case 4S and 3 bladed 9" props. Motors and ESC are not getting over heated. I can backup everthing I wrote.
I Don’t doubt it. I wasn’t replying to your post Fred.

hi
I bought these ESC Turnigy Multistar 20Amp V2 Slim BLHELI Multi-Rotor Brushless ESC 6S .
Since I am under budget, I am still using 5010-14 360KV Brushless Motor.
Do you think the ESC are sufficient to run off Youme power 3300mAH 6S battery at 22.2v ?
