crazy max esc for 4 servos
i bought this plane to try an electric, i bought the 15 amp wattage esc they were advertising for it as a special. now when i read the crazy maz manual it sauys to use at least a 20 amp esc with 4 servos. i am planning to use a 3 hs-55 and one hs-81 in mine. what problem will happen if i use the 15 amp wattage esc?
i have a nimh 800 mah batteries and the lectron 6 receiver. hatd to stuff all this into the fuse.

I been using a Castle Creation Pixie-20P esc (~$36.00) for my Switchback Sport and the 3D wing with no problems, it's one sweet esc. I been using 1200 e-tec 2s1p batteries and with throttle management I've been using my 3s1p also. It's nice being able to program cutoff voltage, and brake option. The unit is really small for tight spaces.

Using the 15 amp esc, if overloaded will shut the motor down. I don't think you will have problems especially if the motor doesn't pull more than 10 amps. A speed 400 will pull 10 amps and a speed 300 will pull about 8 amps. rough figures and the amps depends on the size prop also.
