Default RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop

Which esky brushless did you get? Mine is the 3100kv which has a max amp draw of 13 amps. The 3800kv model is a 20 amp max motor so if thats what you have then you would need a different battery. By using the 3100kv with a 10 tooth pinion means there is less strain on the motor. I haven't checked it yet but I bet I am under the 10 amps the stock battery is rated for. Besides that I can tell the battery lasts much longer and the fact that it is slightly warm are all signs its pulling less amps than the stock setup. I get over ten minutes with the stock batteries with forward flight so I don't require a larger pack. Plus I have two duratrax ice chargers but since they don't do the cell balancing I tend to use the esky charger often so larger pack means longer charge time.
