mrasmm,
The frequency is 4.2KHZ. The duty cycle jumps from zero to 26% when the rotor starts turning, then slowly ramps up to 86.5% at max throttle.

wow, that's some good info, thanks =) I would have never guessed it was that high (step). I've got a GWS ics100 ESC that has a 2048 step, and it seems to offer better control than the stock 3 in 1.

Hey, Guys

Sorry to interrupt,

Can I go about half as light with the guage on the XTREME motor wires and not worry too much about increased resistance, heat and power loss. I need to shed some more weight with this heli.

How small of guage do You think I can get away with?

Thanks in advance.

Gary
my guess would be something around 22ga, you're only looking at about 4A that you need to carry
