Default RE: Hacker X-7 servo load

Thanks Gary,

So I've got this plane built that uses 4 servos (one for each aileron), and I've got a motor/esc combo that work for the weight of the plane, but the esc can't handle the 4 servos. What to do?

I don't know enough about ESCs yet. If I get an X-20, which can handle 4 servos, but is obviously designed for a bigger motor, will I hurt my motor?

Is the ESC just setting the timing, and then the motor demands current from the ESC? (Similar to how a motor demands current from a battery?) Or is the ESC pushing current at the motor, thereby having the ability to push the motor too hard?

Thank you,
Nathan
