Default RE: My new power system ?


ORIGINAL: Red Scholefield


An 8 amp controller will be marginal at best, Hobby Lobby recommends a 12 Amp for your size motor. I have 3 of them in different planes and use an 18 AMP. You are only talking a $4 difference between an 8 and a 12. For another $4 you can take it to 18 amps. When in doubt I find it best to follow the manufacturers directions.

Thank much.
