can I run these with the 2212 100kv motors on a Hex?

If you mean 1000kv yes. My motors draw 10-14amps and these work fine but I do my throttle bursts atleast a minute apart. Always check temps

I must add they are great esc's no flaws and have a great throttle response for my quad. Programmed all at once with a 6 to 1 splitter i made with an old 6 channel receiver

Yup I think 4s would cook these at the rated amp draw.

only thing im weary about is the esc says 1-3 lipos but the description says 1-4 lipos be cool if it can handle 4s anyone try?

I have a 3-Cell LiPo that I use on an indoor foamy with this plane. After just being plugged in, the ECS becomes very hot, without pulsing the throttle, and have smoked a few. That was at 11.1V, let alone a 4-Cell. You'd be better off with a better ESC if you are going 4-Cell.

I just discharged my one of my 4s lipos on 6 of these esc's in a hex, so they will plug up. I tested with no prop though.....awaiting carbon fiber props.

Anyone know what battery connector this esc comes with?

There are no connectors with this ESC. I suppose this is how HK kept the price down saving on parts and labor.

Nice linear throttle response. Great for hovers and whatnot. You can make them even lighter depending on your application by removing most of the wire. I actually removed all the wire on the motor side and soldered a 2205c motor directly on and left just enough on the batt side to solder a JST conn, plus about half the RX wire. I know, I'm anal but... saved about 3-4 grams and it seems to work great. Hey, it all adds up.

Perfect fit for the depron foamies in the U.S. warehouse. Easily programmable, very lightweight and very high quality.

Simple to use. Works great on 7oz foamy with 28g motor. I bought 2 and 1 of them quit after 6 flilghts so I had to knock off a couple of stars. Second one is going strong and I will buy more when I need another.

I put two of these in a micro A-10 with EDF's. I soldered the leads to the motors and with the programming was able to reverse one motor after it was soldered. Size, weight, and programmability make this ESC a good one.
