RE: GWESC35 amp problem
The servos are GWS nar standard I have 3 + Co-pilot I dont think the draw on the Co-pilot is even that much have to look. I would think ANY 35 amp esc should be able to at least run 4 small servos The directions with this ESC are incomplete they tell you how to set it up thats about it. My LHS pushed it on me because he was sold out of the Jeti 40 amp I wanted.

GWESC35 amp problem
I just picked one of these up, and now I read a post that it can only power 2 servos Whats up with that they said the BEC eats 3 amps seems it has something to do with that ANY INPUT HERE would be nice Thanks GWESC35 I think I wasted my $$$

Before I go any further, I was reading about the shaft,that I might need a thrust bearing needles or ball think mine is needles it has a small bit of play.Is this a concern.Will the engine generate that much thrust to even worry.

Not being smart or anything but you could use a Black widow wireless video to monitor the astro of course you are adding wieght now but not much.Or you could use a real small and light aiptec camara they have video and can run for a few minutes only weight couple of OZ's Just a thought.[:D][:D]

RE: Amp draw how to measure
The super 101 stays on as far as I know I can see the mah used after I test on the ground. I see the high readings dont stay on, I can also see my current voltage on the pack that stays on also. I'll give it a double check again I may be wrong.

E prop WOT 11x5.5 12.4 amps 140 watts motor is warm cell is not warm E prop WOT 12x8 8.4 amps 170+ watts motor gets way to hot, cell gets warm. Should the 12x8 pull more amps? More pitch bigger prop should result in more amps right?????
