Chuckk2, yeah it looks like that 's what eCalc (from Castle Creations) is telling me. I'm getting current readings around 150- 160 A using a 160kV motor and 10S 6000maH 35C batteries. This is turning a 22 or 24", 12 to 14 pitch 4 blade Zinger prop. Fligt times are around 4 - 6 min . Not sure how accurate eCalc is however. It looks fairly comprehensive. I get better results using 10S than 12S, this was a surprise, too. Better meaning cooler motor temps.
