I have this in my hk500gt,timing auto, governer off, 6s 3000mah 20c zippy, typhoon 500 motor, 13 tooth pinion, using the built in bec, and only get about 2200rpm headspeed at 100% throttle, seems like it should be faster from what I've read.... Any thoughts?

can i use this esc with KD36-74-06XL 2800kv Brushless Inrunner? i want run it in my monster truck 1/8.

alino74 (41%)
Hi
Not recommended to use.
You must have up to 120A Bl esc

I have Turnigy 85A SBEC and Turnigy Brushless 500 motor. The motor has red,black,blue wires and the ESC has 3 Black wires. How do I connect so as not to reverse polarity? Instruction book does not specify.

Tomco (34%)
Just connect all the wires and do a test run. If it's rotating in the correct direction your good to go. If it's rotating backwards, just switch and two wires and your good to go. Don't worry about the polarity you won't hurt anything. Just make sure you do the test run with out a prop attached. Most of my motors have neutral coloured wires (typically all black) and this is the only way to determine the correct connections...

bestan (44%)
u cant reverse polarity. just connect the 3 wires and if u change 2 motor turns other side around

alino74 (41%)
Hi
It isn't important. You can connect the 3 wires as you want. If the motor is in reverse turn, then exchange 2 of the 3 connector, it ins't important wich connector all 3 are the same and they haven't polarity.
Alex

Freddy (84%)
don't care about color on the motor. Just plug them together. If the motor turn on bad direction, invert 2 wire between esc and motor.

Hello!deliver this esc power to the reciver/servo?Whats the diferent between sbec and ubec?

bestan (44%)
sbec usually means switching bec. better tecnology than linear becs. more efficient, less heating

Motormike (100%)
Which is the correct PCard for this controller?

bestan (44%)
this esc has no pc-card option. program it with tx

Pisaneli (75%)
This esc has programing card. Check related products!

i have this speed control on my EDF l-39 and i have been noticing the motor starts to spin up at 50% stick .. is there any way to change this other then with the throttle curve feature on the radio. 4 cell lipo on the hitec 9 channel radio

PAXMAN01 (32%)
Plug in power to esc with transmitter on and throttle at full....Wait for tones and then pull throttle down to zero. This should set throttle range for esc.

azzbean (34%)
you can program or calibrate if you will the esc to match the signals from the tx. you are suposto calibrate the throttle the first time you turn it on. if you still have your manual, perform throttle calibration again if not let me know i will tell you how to do it

bestan (44%)
power on esc with full throttle at tx
as soon as u hear first beeps set to zero throttle
the esc will memorize the endpoints
they will have to bee within a normal band i suppose

I am running one of these in a 40 size Cub with 4 standard servos on 4S lipolys. I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with the SBEC. I use Spektrum radio equipment and don't want to run into issues with brown outs.
Should I be used an external BEC.

azzbean (34%)
hi i use the SBEC in this controller as well as an external at the same time in parallel so if one fails i have a backup while in flight, i use a linea external to give a more stable powersupply

bestan (44%)
i use this esc in planes and helis with no problems - no brown outs the sbec works fine

Freddy (84%)
no issue with Sbec : futataba 2.4ghz 4 servos sebart Katana 50 and Sukhoi 50 .

Has anyone else has dramas with soft start? i have it set via programing card and running a scorpion 1400kv in a trex 500, these motors have huge power and i just ripped $100 of parts with this thing starting flat out? also have timing set to auto? could this be why - as the motor is the sensor so to speak in a brushless setup, so does it need to start to set timing?

chfurrer (-25%)
I run same ESC in Trex 500 without problems. My timing setting is also auto. Try to make a throttle curve from zero % to ??? % to startup. Then you switch to throttle curve 2.

Wiretap (28%)
Set the timing to the recommended range for your motor. I have the same motor as you and had to set the timing to high. I also put it in governor 2 mode, this gives a much softer start (but doesn't function as a governor) that avoided damaging my heli.

bestan (44%)
soft start works fine. select governor mode heli second range. it will well s***l up to endspeed
it is not a governor to hold headspeed it controlls the s***lup

Brutis (73%)
I recently had a few issues arming the motor before flight, esc will not beep I had to un plug it and plug it back in a few times before it would arm. Also I noticed if you set you throttle curve to 70%max and then u try to recalibrate throttle positions or adjust esc settings it will not work no beeping. I had to set my throttle cure back to 100% for it to go into setting mode. I've set my throttle curve on my Dx7 to 70% max because I have the Typhoon 1800kv on 6s lipo.

foster (70%)
mine will only arm on the trottle ch3

slimage (27%)
it needs to see the full throttle range before it will arm

jut (40%)
yep had same issue when setting up mine...havnt played with it since is running fine at the moment :)

John (50%)
Hi can someone tell me if is ok to use the 85A ESC with TR 35-42B 1250kv Brushless Outrunner (Eq: AXi 2820)? I'm planning to use 4000mAh 3S 20C with these setup in my Super Diamona plane. Need help please. John.

WeKkY (32%)
It's large enough for that kind of motor. I think a 60A ESC is enough but just look the comments on that motor and what others use.

John (50%)
Thanks for the reply. I was worry it might damage the motor but if not I prefer the 85A in case I need to up size the motor. By the way I'll be using 4000mAh 3S-20c with the setup. Is this ok?

WeKkY (32%)
mmmh i d prefered a 25C cause if you just multiplicate 4A*20C you get only 80A, the battery is going to be hot if you use it often at full throttle. 25C will get you up to 100A. I think it's better. But with the 3542 you ll get no more than 50A or 60 A, So the battery should be OK.

John (50%)
Thank you again for the reply! This helps a lot!

foster (70%)
yes you can use it but not at full trottle for long or you'll burn up the motor. it will work fine if you put your trottle curve at about 70-80% IM useing a TGY AerodriveXp 25 SK Series 35-42 1000Kv / 605w
its a little slower but about the same motor

slimage (27%)
it will be enough for sure

Eduardo (55%)
go ahead, this esc stands a lot of more power that you can make with this setup, just need to know about your servos.do not use more than 4 servos standart.

jut (40%)
Hi John i use this 85A ESC on a Turnigy Aerodrive xp SK3536-1400 1000kv with a 4000mAh 3S 25C and run fine in fact im sure its a little bigger than i need but i like a larger ESC than Recommended.
Justin :)

jut (40%)
hi justin again i mentioned my setup ...tunigy aerodrive xp 3536-1400, 4000mAh 3S 25C and this ESC ......I also had to mention im using a 10/5" turnigy wood prop :).... working great

eco-air (45%)
I fly a Super Demona on a 9x6 4s 2200mah 3639 1100 flys great on a 40A ESC from memory only pulls 30A had a 10x5 but 9x6 gives better ground clearance. Can get 10min easily with combined flying. 9x6 gives a good scale flight.

eco-air (45%)
sorry error comment above 9x6 is wrong should say 10x5 apc E

p3tras (56%)
Hey guys,
I tested this ESC today with Esky 1200KV motor (max current draw is 50A) on my Esmart heli while hovering and ESC gets very hot. I disabled BEC by desoldering plug because it was too weak. When motor is not running ESC doesn't get hot at all. I also changed some settings (high timing, very slow startup, 16Khz) but it was also getting hot with stock setup. Is it normal for this ESC?

p3tras (56%)
I even tried running motor without load and it stills gets warm. After flight ESC is too hot to touch...

Eduardo (55%)
it sounds strange...I use one of that on emax 4030-10 in 6S, with APC 16x8E for 8 min...the amps between 20 and 46, the watts max.1019 (all measured on e-meter), and after that test, the emax is sigle warm and esc almost cold.

WeKkY (32%)
Voltage used is correct ?

Rikku007 (36%)
maybe you have a defective product, because i run this esc with a motor rated for 70amp constant and it is barely warm almost cold after a good 8-10 min run.

John (50%)
Hi, I have spectrum DX7. You have mentioned about the DSM radio will not sent signal to ESC. Can you please show me step by step how to do this? Im new to RC. Please explain. You can also email me * johnjung75252*yahoo****

Viacheslav (16%)
Why 16 kHz? May be 8? Temperature on "skin" ESC approcsimally 60 C - it's normally.

slimage (27%)
my controler comes down warm after 7minutes at about 40 amps but its a heat sink its supposed to get warm its doing its job helis are hard on batteries and motors and esc's there is very little air flow past these devices. You should just let the esc auto setup it will decide the correct motor timing i think you want high with inrunner and low with outrunner

patzane (62%)
Today I connected the battery to this ESC and given a little power than smoke and fire can from this ESC. I purchase this speed control less than 1 month ago and only been used a total on 8 times. The motor I had connected to this ESC was the TGY AerodriveXp 46 SK Series 50-55 and ZIPPY Flightmax 4500mAh 6S1P 30C battery pack. I was using a 12x6 APC prop with this combination. I have 2 more of the same ESC 1 still in box (hope that one last more than 8 flights) and the other is on my Hanger 9 Sundowner. I just email email Hobbykings to see if that can replace as I do spend several hundreas with then through the year. Motor was also damage when ESC caught on fire

moveon (55%)
Hi, sorry to hear about your ESC. I had a similar trouble weeks ago with my CC ICE75. It smoked and burnt on the 4th flight in my HK500GT. I ordered this ESC and has about 10 flights without problem using the same motor on the same HK500GT. Castle Creations USA has since replaced a new ICE75 for me. Sometimes I really don't understand what is wrong. A moment is good, the next moment it fired. :(

Viacheslav (16%)
Than you connect battery with maximum voltage (6S LiPo), you must change 2 electrolytic condensers on condensers with higher working voltage (app. 100V) and to short-circuit their ceramic condenser .

21/03/2010
moveon (55%)
Any one knows how to set the speed for the governor? The manual indicate how to set off, low and high governor. After I set the governor to low or high, how do I set the governor speed?

Chai

Brutis (73%)
I wouldn't use the govener It's un reliable. Just set the head speed with your throttle curves on your Tx. Also disable the internal bec by removing the middle red wire in the reciever plug and use a external bec or battery. This will stop the esc from getting hot and failing.

moveon (55%)
Hi Brutis,

Thanks for your reply. I am getting good result with the governor. I set my throttle to 0 80 80 80 80 and with T15, I get around 2700....I set the start to "very slow"...the first time throttle is pushed up, the motor will suddenly s***l and the heli will yaw on ground. Putting the throttle back to zero and pushing up the second time, the s***l up is very good. This happen every time the ESC is initialised. Overall, I must say that this ESC works very well with governor on my HK500GT for this price. I am keeping my ICE75 for good....

Has someone programmed this ESC with another card as the Turnigy Programming card for Tz85A ESC??

Asad (96%)
This ESC (TZ85A) has its own programming card. I have used it successfully. However, this card must be purchased separately.

jofs3d (55%)
Is it possible to connect 2x A123's batteries in series with this ESC for a total of 8s or 12s configurations, as long as I choose NIMH as the battery input? I'd apreciate any input. Thanks, Joao

WeKkY (32%)
Take this batteries as LIthium-POlymer cause it's Lithium Ferrite Nanophosphate

jofs3d (55%)
Thanks for your reply. Just to make sure, you say that I should choose Li-po in the ESC if I use A123 batteries, is this correct? Thanks again!

WeKkY (32%)
Yes it's correct ! I never used this kind of batteries by myself but i'm pretty sure about what i'm saying.

jofs3d (55%)
Thank you, I will try it one day if I buy it then. Apreciate your info!

slimage (27%)
this speed control decides the amount of batteries automaticly thats what all that beeping means when you plug the battery in. So I dont think it can be fooled stick with lipo they are safer there is time for landing, with 123 you out you out.

Eduardo (55%)
please don't do that...this esc is for 6S in max.*For 8S or more, you need a HV esc, and this is not.

Eduardo (55%)
is not possible,for 8S or more you will need a HV esc

jeanpaul (50%)
somebody use this controllers with a HET2w20?
Its reliable for it.

matthieu93160 (81%)
i will test =)
whenn the esc will in my house =)

jeanpaul (50%)
Ok! i will wait your reply

matthieu93160 (81%)
okey
i will in 4s lipoly and 4.75x4.75 ...

jeanpaul (50%)
Thanks a lot for your reply

matthieu93160 (81%)
yes it's good , but at the second flight , the het 2w20 burn =(
1000W in 4S =D
a+
good esc !!

This customer was awarded a credit for their answer.

jeanpaul (50%)
Oh my good it's a very bad news.I will try mine next week i hope it works well.Maybe your HET has an assembly problem.
Thanks for your reply

MarcusRjCharita (80%)
Dear Jean / Guys: it works pretty fine with 220 but this ESC handles higher current than you will be able to put in 2W20. I runned this motor with 5S and 4.1x4.1 prop and got 36A (~720W peak) - so I had to limit throttle range at radio to 80% but this ESC does work but it is too big n heavy (mine has 104 g) for the job (85A to handle ~30A max. with 5S). DO NOT GO over 650W on 2W20. Use low timing for better efficiency and small props to lower the current (you must check it with a clamp meter or e-meters to avoid burning such expensive motor). Other example: 4S 4.5x4.5 = 49A ~ 790W - you will need to limit throttle range at your radio too. :o)

25/02/2010
jojansen (55%)
I have some concens about the power switch because it seems to me that the current from the BEC goes first through this 'switch' and then to the rest of the electronics (servos, receiver..). So if we draw more than a few mA the switch will be beyond anything he likes.
So guys, what's Your opinion or experience?
Regards, Johannes :-)

jojansen (55%)
I did some 'research'. This tiny switch is switching the voltage from the BEC to the receiver and stuff. Because I have no confidence in this switch, I've opened the housing of the ESC, desoldered the leads to the switch and bridged the pads with some solder. Should work.
:-) Johannes

slimage (27%)
I think it is microprocessor or a solid state relay because when I switch it off the model is still active. When you overload any ckt it will fry and im sure that switch is not a load holding unit.

Eduardo (55%)
I use this one with a strong motor in 6S and 4 digital standart spektrum servos*until now everything is good..

jut (40%)
G'day Johannes.... yes i bought this for a 40. size balsawood trainer 1.4mtr wingspan (thunder tiger) with a Turnigy Aerodrive xp SK3536-1400 brushless, 4000mAh 3S 25c RHINO & 10/5" Turnigy wood prop. This 85A ESC is bigger than i needed but a like a larger speedy.
Yes i have noticed when i have finnished flight and turning everything off u turn switch off on ESC first and motor beeps until battery is disconected. So yes seems to still have some power somewhere.
Overall ESC has performed perfect ecsept that switch issue. :)

lloydcole (72%)
does this come with connections?

jeanpaul (50%)
Usually this kind of component doesn't come with the connectors.you must solder by youself.

Rikku007 (36%)
it does not come with connectors because different people use different connectors.

slimage (27%)
servo only

Eduardo (55%)
come with conection to plug on RX, you need a conector to plug on your battery.

15/01/2010
jcbfredde (50%)
can anyone explane how the Governor work? just idle1 and a flat trotlle curve or?

Rikku007 (36%)
a governor sets the throttle such that the motor spins at a constant rpm even under varying loads.

foster (70%)
the governor is for helicopters it keeps the blades turning at a constant speed without all the trottle pitch mixing its more for 3d heli flying

but yes you trottle curve sould basicly be a strait line

Lectric_high (61%)
I see the questions about programming all through this thread but don't see an answer. In addition I wonder if the bec can be bypassed so I can use another. I need more amps.

rcwck (91%)
The onboard bec can always be disabled. Just pull/cut the power wire/red that comes from the esc and goes to your RX.

Lectric_high (61%)
Thanks William

Eduardo (55%)
it's simple...just cut de red wire off in the conector plug and keep the orange and the brown (the red is in the middle of the connector that links to rx) or just turn the bec off by turning off the switch.I use that two ways and functions very well.

Eduardo (55%)
yes, you can turn the bec off by power switch or cut off the red wire (on the conector whith goes to RX) and after that, just add other power unit.

Andrey Kryukov (73%)
I want to use in his new plane *******big-scale-fly****/forum/index.php/topic,130.0.html
I conclude with his design and will soon begin to collect the first two samples.

I put the engine TGY AerodriveXp SK Series 50-65 380Kv / 1820w

Servo for rudder HS5625
Servo handlebar height 5245 - 2 pieces
Servo on ailerons 5245 - 2 pieces

Batteries Rhino 3700mAh 6S 22.2v 20C Lipoly Pack

Whether or not this control to ensure all the good punches?

I am ready to become a beta tester of the regulator and put it on their planes if you guarantee a hundred he will provide all the servo power.

night_flight (81%)
If the quality control on the electronics is as good as the english on the case then good luck! (5-18N iMH)

Andrey Kryukov (73%)
4A SBEC is very little you need At least 6A

slimage (27%)
I have run this on 3 and 4s with peak amps over 70 I have never had servo issues. Only 4 servos though If your model is extremely valuable you should always run external battery never rely on the esc bec. Three bad links will cause incident but a seperate power will not fail

30/10/2009
ThumbSkull (79%)
Is this programmable by the Turnigy programming card? Is timing/start/cutoff mode selectable?

slimage (27%)
it takes a different programmer but it can be done with the radio it is just waiting for the right beeps then doing the right stick moving. fully programable "timing/start/cutoff mode selectable?"

Eduardo (55%)
is not programmeble by turnigy programing card.

26/10/2009
TomAss (59%)
Have an Governor Mode?

yes it is programamed with radio i dont have the programmer

janjan1212 (86%)
Can you tell me what SBEC means? I know what is BEC but what is that S?

Eagle (75%)
SBEC.. it meens SWITCHED BEC... !
Its the different to LINEAR BEC.

janjan1212 (86%)
And what is switched BEC where is the difference

Quix-fz (58%)
instead of wasting the voltage-difference (from the lipo battery to 5volts) as heat (imagine a self-adjusting resistor), it pulses (switching) the lipo-battery voltage, so after "smoothing" with coils and capacitors, you get nice clean and efficent 5 volts. is a must with many lipo-cells ( more than 2s-3s)

WeKkY (32%)
UBEC was the original name for a stand-alone BEC produced by Kool as the "Ultimate BEC". SBEC comes from "Smart BEC" The various stand-alones like the Castle Creations 10A BEC are often simply referred to, probably incorrectly but who cares, as UBEC. Just like "Kleenex" for any brand of tissue!

Klaus Lange (78%)
Ok. I am looking for beta-testers for this ESC. After the K-Force desaster, that is bad design by Hobbywind and bad service by Hobbykng support, I will definitely not available for doing the tests.

Btw, 5.5V BEC??!! Too high for 4.8V systems, too low for 6V systems. The only reason for 5.5V is (5+6)/2=5.5. Hopefully, the rest of the design criteria were choosen well.

Ultra fast bla-bla-bla... Sorry, I understand why to do promotion. But to judge if the ESC is usable at least a few more date would be fine.

For the moment, I will stay with my old reliable plush ESCs or I will spend my money with CCs, Kontros or other well specified and designed controllers.

My best wishes,
Klaus Lange

Tadango (84%)
Send them to me, i will test them for you :) Eve a plush can selfdestruct although very unlikely..... Kontronik is also not perfect. Jazz 55 should support 6s but try 6s and it will shutdown, many people have had that problem. 5s will run fine even at high amps.

So, where can i email my address :)

Jason5001 (-7%)
Klaus, youre requesting more data and then say "blah blah" to the type of MCU and mosFET. Im betting the house most other brands wont easily admit to the specification of their FET's.

We will try and get more data for you.

Klaus Lange (78%)
Fast: 10,20,40...kHz? BEC:4A cont. or? Soft start capabilities?

Dear Tadango,

you are right, there are always problems to be expected with non space proofed electronics. My statistics for the last 3 years:

4 Plush 60A, 6 Plush 40A: no problems.
Phoenix 2x100A, 2x60A, 3x45A, 1x35A, 2x25A: no problems.
Kontronics: very few problems in our club (more than 100 ESCs) but very good support by producer.
K-Force 60A: 1 burned, 2 further becomes very hot without load (BEC-FET), both were always switching off after short time (6S, 250W for hovering).
K-Force 40A: 1 perfect in a TR450 with T2836-3700kV. A second one tried with same setup: motor off from time to time... (nothing special when logging with elogger v3).

**********************-

I would realy hope to get a reasonable good ESC with the new Turnigy series. But, I do have my doubts...

Klaus Lange (78%)
Hi Jason.

Please forget the bla-bla and other unserious comments. Fact is that there are a lot of very good products at Hobbyking in general for very good prices. Fact is that I was able to write a lot of corresponding good reviews for these products. Another fact is that there are some problems with some of your new HK- or Turnigy-branded products. And finally, it is a fact that I wrote quite a lot emails concerning these general product problems and at the end the answers were not really helpful at all.

Therefore, it would be fine to get some more serious data for the new ESC series. And new customers should be aware about possible problems with a new product. For me it would be fine, if I could rely on your support if general problems occur with a new product.

Jason5001 (-7%)
Hi Klaus. I checked the Castle Creations website and their "data" is about the same as ours. They don't give much detail at all, just max currents, battery sizes and dimensions. What more information do you need?

Also, when you say "non space proofed" in your above reply, do you mean, small electronics that havent had much attention spent on circuit design? I think ESCs will always have a battle with this as they handle large current so attention needs to be paid to noise and PCB layout.
I see this is also a problem with Kontronik and the thunderbird CC escs.

Mieciu (83%)
Jason: Could you provide the programming options for this ESC. Also if there's programming card available....just like in 200A monster :-)
Thanks in advance.

Klaus Lange (78%)
Hello Jason.

Youre are right with potential problems with pulsed high current in PCBs. CC and other are meanwhile well proofed - at least in part by customers, as well. But what's about quality control during development and production. There is the main difference between RC (1 failure per 100?) and car (1 failure per million) or even space components (1 failure per 10^9). And the low prices for chinese products are in part also due to quality control or better the lack of qc.

CC example: If you are searching a bit (manual link...) you will find e.g. that the ESC currents are specified for 5mph airflow, the BEC current is peak current, max. controller frequency is 41kHz etc. And you may learn all about programming features. - So, please just do your best with poviding data to increase our confidence because your customers are very much willing to try your products. And - AGAIN - HK should not leave their customers out in the rain in case of failures and, particularly, in case of half-baked products.

Regards,
Klaus

giggity (59%)
yes about the programing, is the timing adjustable?

Brutis (73%)
What esc timing does everyone use with the turnigy 500 1800kv motor? I've been using the lowest timing but the esc seems to get quite warm with just hovering.

Maybe the Turnigy card off course !!

Yes this has wet my appetite. I think I will replace my 50A Hyperion speedy in my Angel 30 and take it to 4 cell. Great price! Anotherprice /technology breakthrough by Turnegy and Hobby King.

Yes hobbyking, let us know how to program it!
I have a turnigy and a K-force program card, will one of those work? Or do i need to buy the new 'monster' program card?
Or is there a manual available?

I will buy this esc, for a 5s application that will draw 80-85A for 3 minutes, and I can chose fore a lot or very little airflow, so that will be a good test i think.

Fig It should work just as good as a plush, With better transition. If they have the Engineering and the QC right

ZZZ.Well I have a question,Where is the waranty written on its page for this ESC and how much is the waranty?I would like to know,cause Im still a little confused,can I use the SBEC even on 6s?BTW where are the condensers?I think it even has a switch for on-off(theres a black wire visible)!Why dont Turnigy put on every his ESC a switch to arm it and even a led (like some other brand that already has)to show the batt. status,like their battery monitor(it has a led to ,and a buzzer) and to be joind in one ESC?What happened to one series of Turnigy ESC who were all black and were available few months ago,I even forgot the capacity of them,I think something like 70,140Amp...were they so bad not to be sold again?Just per say,I bought this 85Amp.and when arrives will post a rewiew how it works.To bad it has not got a batt. monitor led.Imagine how it would be useful for 3d planes as for 3d helicopters!

So can we use the Turnigy 2 in 1 Professional Program Box for Brushless ESC with the Turnigy 85 ESC?

Looks suspiciously like the turnigy k-force 70hv casing to me, wonder if its out of HW factory but with lower voltage inner workings

Will this programmer work with this ESC?

I just received the programming card for the Tz85A ESc, and I could not get it to work only red power led came on. Maybe I got a dud. If anyone has used the monster 200 card with success please respond.

After 5 batteries on a 500 this has gone bad. First thing is I tried to soft start and it didn't. Glad I had my finger on the TH switch. Next I noticed when I program 8 or 16 hz (options 1 or 2) the next time I look at the program it says 9?? WTF is 9. It will not stay on one or two. Now it won't allow the motor to start. The motor just chicken dances back and forth. IMHO this is a garbage piece of hardware. One of the really disappointing products I've gotten from HK. Anyone want a programmer really cheap?

hello all, I am fairly new to electrics am need some input. I am building a pusher plane and am using the Turnigy 85A with 5A BEC on it. It will power an E-Flite Power 60 motor on 13x8e prop. My concern would be: I plan to use 2-aileron servos, 2 Micros for Rudders, 1 Micro for steering and 1 MG for elevator on a 4000 6S 30C battery. Will this be enough power for my setup? Thanks to anyone with info. slomiggy*yahoo****
