RE: Help understanding ESC and batteries??
Ok.. first of all, the current available is the MAH rating of the battery pack. And, that is in miliamps per hour, which is what mah means.
So, if it's a 20C pack, then the max available current, for a short period of time that is, is 20 X the mah rating (in theory) which in this case, is 26 amps. 1300 X 20 = 26000 miliamps or 26 amps.
You may wish to re-figure the battery you want to use if you expect to operate a motor/ESC combination that is capable of 35 amps, and that is if you wish to fly for longer than a few minutes.
