RE: Brushed to Brushless Motors
Might work, some esc won't power up unless the throttle in nuteral. If not it won't use much power been on the whole time...
I've got the same setup and it draws 0.51a at 8.2v when doing nothing but it's also running a reciver, servo, 30mm fan, and a 25mm fan
With a 5500mah 2s lipo that's 75 hours run time
