Title: Suitable ESC Post by: manjulal on May 15, 2018, 12:08:37 PM Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if I can use safely use Hobbywing XRotor 20A-OPTO ESC (APAC Edition) with my Emax 2216/810 KV motor on a 4S LiPo setup. I plan to use prop sizes between 10 and 11 inches. Will the Amp draw exceed 20A? Kindly advice. Title: Re: Suitable ESC Post by: rastsaurabh on May 15, 2018, 01:03:25 PM see motor specs for this.

At 14.8 volt with 1045 prop it's sucking not more than 15-16 amps Title: Re: Suitable ESC Post by: manjulal on May 15, 2018, 04:36:52 PM Did some basic search and found similar results, but I just wanted to confirm from experienced flyers like you. Thank you for the information. So guess I will go ahead and use that same ESC for now.

On 4s LiPo, 10" APC - Max current drawn is 15.4A Title: Re: Suitable ESC Post by: manjulal on May 15, 2018, 04:52:35 PM Thank you Kiran. I was running my quad on 3S Lipo and Emax Simon series 30A ESC's which are rated for 3S batteries. I am upgrading my battery to a 4S one...so thought of changing the ESC's with what I have with me. (X-Rotor 20A)
