Title: what r the most possible reasons of esc burning ..... Post by: saurab on December 20, 2011, 06:01:44 PM my esc got burn off around a month before , the connections were poor , but i wanto know the other possible reasons , becz im new to this hobby.
poor connections is one reason but , i would like to know whether the motor - battry combo , complimanting each other or not i was using : HobbyKing 12A BlueSeries Brushless Speed Controller http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11429__HobbyKing_12A_BlueSeries_Brushless_Speed_Controller.html TURNIGY 2204-14T 19g Outrunner http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__6547__TURNIGY_2204_14T_19g_Outrunner.html LIPO PP 7.4V 850 MAH 20 C prop: 8x4 thank u ....!! - saurab.

Post by: Dharmik on December 20, 2011, 06:46:00 PM it seems to be a good combo however on site suggested esc is 10A but it could be a poor connection.

Of course things like bad soldering are outside of such discussions, but knowledge of basics is always a long term asset :) Title: Re: what r the most possible reasons of esc burning ..... Post by: PankajC on December 20, 2011, 09:16:29 PM @saurab.
Usually, the electric motors are made for certain RPM for each volt of potential difference. This is called the Kv rating. You would see motors marked 1000Kv, 2200Kv etc. Means a 1000Kv connected to a 12V batter would turn at 12000 RPM (well at least theoretically). Also theoretically, the motor tries to maintain the RPM irrespective of the prop. Now a bigger prop would require more effort to turn thereby consuming more Amps. Since each ESC has a maximum capacity as far as AMPs are concerned AND also each ESC has a maximum voltage rating. So the TWO most causes of failure would be the prop size (read amps) and cell count Title: Re: what r the most possible reasons of esc burning .....
