Am I going to toast my Ice2 80HV with brief peaks of 100-amp load??
We finally got some flyable weather today - albeit with 15-20 mph dead cross winds - and a chance to test some different props with the Pletty Xtra 30-09 V2 and the Ice2 80HV.
This motor is known for high amp draw, which I also saw in the CC data logs for mine when running even the less steeply pitched PT 20x13, which was peaking at 100 amps. I tested a couple more props today and was hoping to get some useful info from the data logger, and I assumed incorrectly that the data logger simply overwrites the old data, which it does not. So a bit of wasted effort there and no new info about amp draw with the other props, a Falcon 20x13 and a PT 20x12.
Although the amp draw has some high peaks, the temperature of the ESC is barely warm, the motor is only warm (maybe 120degF on the hottest area on the back of the case) and the batteries barely warm, so it doesn't seem that anything is being stressed at all. It behaves like a "happy" set-up, you might say.
It would be nice if CC had an option for overwriting data on the logger! And maybe time/date stamp!!
Next time, the laptop goes to the field with me.
