Title: Which ESC'S for my E7se?
Post by: SGM Retired on July 11, 2013, 07:53:47 AM: So as you know I'm building my first Synergy (E7se) and currently I have a CC 120 I'm going to install this weekend. With that said should I be tempted to up size to the 160 or stay where I'm at? What are those parameters that would take me to the 160? I'm running the scorpion 4035-500kv pushing 716 blades. I don't want install and find out later I told you so. Thanks for the input.

For the 4035 the Max amp draw is 104A peak. The 120A ESC works fine and I have run that before. On the larger motors (4530,4535) I would go to the 160A due to the greater amp draw.

Cheers

These guys using 120's with the 45 series motors on paper dont make sense to me, but somehow they're getting away with it. Collective MGMT maybe??? lol

Post by: SGM Retired on July 11, 2013, 04:04:58 PM: So if I think I would go to a 35 series motor down the road I should think of a 160 motor? With that said why causes going to a 45 series motor? Thanks.

Take a peek at the scorpion website and look the watts figures.
For sport flying the 4035 works great and gives good flight times.

Just to clarify, a 4035 series motor is no slouch! I've never owned one of the larger motors but the 4035 was always more than enough for me on the E7 and I smacked it around pretty hard. I'm now flying a 4025 series motor on a 700 size machine and even that pulls plenty hard enough!

IMO, there is no need for a larger motor unless you want to turn insane headspeed and/or just have to have the biggest and baddest.

When I sold the 7HV and got my E7, I put in the 4525-520....wow. Both running the same headspeed, but the 4525 just has way more torque and handles some serious abuse.

Both are great motors, since you already have the ESC and motor I would stick with those. You can always upgrade later on if you want more power.

Post by: SGM Retired on July 12, 2013, 09:03:33 AM: Thanks John, I do t think I will doing any smack down due to processing those commands to the thumbs are just not possible. I look forward to the slowest head speed I can get and just float around in the air does me just fine. Had bought 696 mains but going to switch to 716's to help with the floating.

Post by: KevinM on July 19, 2013, 02:35:31 PM: +1 Darren.. I toyed with the thought of a Scorp Ultimate..but truth, a 4035-500 is going to be plenty for me I think!
