RE: Confused about motor Amps and battery Amps
Hi Ernie:
The 35 amps on the motor means, that is the max it can handle. Prop choice controls how many amps the motor actually draws. If you were to put a prop on that draws 25 amps at max throttle it's easier on the motor and within the batts. 32 amp capability. Also you would be flying around at half throttle most of the time which would only be around 12 amps draw. Best tool to get is a Wattmeter. You plug it between the batt. and ESC and it tells you exactly how many amps, volts and watts your using. It's a tool you can't do without. Motor temp and batt temp. are a good way of telling if your pushing things to hard. If they're to hot to handle, the amps need to drop down. Hope this helps.
