12A esc mean it can give u max output 12A per motor
And 4 motor so total 48A
U can use 30/40c batteries with it
However there is no backdrop
But cost

Re: ROBOCAT 270 Build log

started off my build, despite exams in a few days lol...
screwed the arms onto the bottom pate
soldered female bullet connectors onto the ESCs
soldered the ESCs and LEDS onto the PDB
Stacked all of these onto the bottom deck of the frame

First- The images arent loading for me so I might be commenting in the blind.
You will need to upgrade your escs. SimonK are good but old. Try switching to BlHeli if your budget permits. I am also not sure if 12A is enough for 2204 motor although the stats show that you wont be requiring an ESC more than 12A. Also, which PDB are you using?

He meant that you wont be able to achieve the quads full potential. The ESC would burn up if the amperage draw exceeds the amount specified by the ESC. So using a 12A esc wont allow you to push the quad above hovering level for racing. Although I think the statement is not needed by looking at the stats of the motor

Re: ROBOCAT 270 Build log

Oh. As you said, the motors permit using 12a esc's since they draw 11.5A for 6030 props. But i am using 5030 props which will draw even lesser amperage. I do plan on upgrading to 20A blheli's but not anytime in 2016. The pdb that came with the kit is basic. Im using that for now. Although i plan to upgrade to a matek pdb soon.
