Hi
I have the following setup and I think that the esc get too hot: 50-60degrees
6x Keda 20L22
6x 10x4.5 props
6x Hobbyking HK30 with 25 A permanent current possibility
3s 5700 Lipo
Canon C11 camera
58cm fram with 10mm alu
2kg averall weight with lipo and camera
Is this too heavy? Is the temperature ok?
I plan to do the following:
80cm frame made of 15mm aluminium
more stable landing frame
maybe bigger motors and better escs?
thank you and good bye
Franz

Hi Franz,
Ik also have a hexa with those 22-20L motors, 25A esc's and 10x3.8 APC props. It weighs about 1900g, so almost 2kg. My esc's barely get warm at all, certainly not 50-60°C. Do you use the bec of those esc's or did you disconnect the red cable in the servo wire to the esc ?
I have found that these esc's can get pretty hot just from the bec alone. I now use a seperate 3A low noise bec (also from hobbyking) and my esc's stay cool.
