Default Need more power!

I have a 4g3 double bl with the wowhobbies turbo main motor. It flys great but I am only getting about 4 min of flight time doing mild 3d (loops, rolls, invert). I am using the wow upgrade 450ma 20c packs but I really would like to have more power and longer flights.
I have read on this forum about guys using the HP08 bl and hp06. Just was wondering what kind of flight
times you all are getting and would the upgrade to the 08 or 06 be a wise choice. Would the 08 or 06 work with the Walkera esc?
Any advice would be great.

thanks
dc

Default I guess I didn't ask nice enough

Well I guess I broke some unwritten rule or wasn't nice enough or maybe I am the only one that wanted more power for thier 4G3. Since no one responded.

So I went ahead and bought the HP06 motor and tried it. It has more power but the mounting screws were so short it fell out on the 2nd flight. The screw hole stripped because the screws are so short. I taped the holes and put in somes 1.6mm screws. It stayed in today for all 8 flights.
It is a nice upgrade and worth the $25.

Looked like a polite enough post to me, perhaps no-one who has tried both the turbo ace and either the HP-06 or HP-08 and is able to compare, has come across this thread yet.

I was after more power from my 4G3 but I use the Walkera main motor, a pinion upgrade from 12t to 18t did the trick

Pleased to hear you got the power increase you were looking for, I have an HP-06 but haven't got round to trying it yet - having too much fun with the Walkera motor for now.
