What's a good temp Woodie?
My controllers never get over about 30 degrees above ambient and I know that is well below the default cutoff. I would start at about 160-170 F (I think you set the Spin in C so you will have to do the conversion yourself) that should give you some buffer yet provide a safety limit in case of heat problems.
JimO, what temps have you been seeing on your Spins?
Woodie
I've been seeing temps from 50 to 58 C (122 to 136F). The temperature is measured internal to the ESC so is probably higher than you would measure on the surface of a heat sink. I am flying at about 75F ambient so that rise is about 60F. I'll try to get a surface reading next time out for a point of reference.
