RE: Astro 035 FAI Geared motor questons

Go to Astro Flight.com for data on this motor. It is high quality and can put out lots of thrust on 8 to 10 cells. I have the AF cobalt 05 geared, and it can haul a big plane at 25A, 8 to 10 cells!

RE: Can some one help me please !

The ESC should have a plug to fit your receiver- it plugs into the channel 3 (throttle) spot in the RX. Thats all there is to it! Good luck!

Max amperage for KAN 1050 cells?

Has anyone had experience running 20 amps or more from KAN 1050"s? I've heard 15 Amps continuous is OK, but I have not heard if they can take 20 Amps continuous.
