Kenn,

Yes it was the 35A ESC. I can't remember the exact model number, but it had a 5V BEC and had a yellow heat sink on the outside. Then my other Align ESC on my T-Rex has a blue heat sink and there is a little bit of heat shrink on the outside of the heat sink. It stays a lot cooler around 90 degrees.

I don't really understand what you meant by mode to the ESC-motor connectors. It had the same color coding as my Belt CP motor and spun the correct way by matching the colors. I just used the bullet connectors from the Align ESC and put them on my motor and ESC.

I never really used my stock ESC from the Belt CP, because I heard people say they started on fire. So that is why I got the Align one. With hovering I can get around 10 minute flights. Then with mild flying I can get around 7. Then right now with me doing flips I am getting around 5 minutes. And all of my batteries have around 50 cycles on them.
