Which ESC/Battery?
Hey guys,
I am looking at building a 5 oz airframe with the battery and I was wondering what size ESC I should get for it. I will use either the E-Flite Park 250 or Cyclon 1980 Nano CPLR or similar motor. It will run on 2 cells probably 480 mah or less. So what size ESC and what brand (no brand wars plz) and what battery size? Thanks for all of your guys' help!!!! FG RULES! Seth Arnold

Re: Which ESC/Battery?
A 10 Amp ESC is LOTS, and any 2S 350-450 Lipo!!! Most popular (and lightest I think)ESC I would say would be the CC Phx 10. I use a AXI2204/54, 8x3.8 SF, Phx 10 and 2S 350 Prolites on a 5 ounce Bling, and never get above 1/2 throttle. I kinda wish I had the Eflite 250, would save 10 grams, and get my Bling below 5.0 ounes. Someday I'll upgrade to one of the new 15-18 g motors that are coming out on the market.

Re: Which ESC/Battery?
on my 5oz Yak Shocky I have the Park 250 with a CC Phx10 and Polyquest 400 and 300 mAh 2 cell packs... I get about 6 min with the 300 and about 9 min with the 400 pack

Re: Which ESC/Battery?
Hey thanks guys!
Would an 8 amp ESC be to little? Or even a 4-6 amp? I want to save as much weight as possible so a smaller ESC would help lots (grams add up!!). Thanks for all of the help guys!!

Re: Which ESC/Battery?
An 8 amp esc would be fine, but in the world of ESC's, your better off having too much than not enough. Besides, you won't get much lighter than a Phx 10 Amp Esc anyway, so just get this one and you'll be happy with it. It is VERY light and a great ESC.
