Joe, the 100a for the motrolfly 4315-480 may be a little higher than necessary, but definitely a safe approach. I ran my Edge for 30 some flights on a 70a ZTW and a 16x8, and it did fine. Running my MXS with its smaller cooling holes, the ZTW got hot so I put in an Align 70a with the big metal heatshrink around it, and voila, working great (also with the 16x8 right now)
Ok. I was wrong. It appears I've been flying with lousy packs and didn't know it. As part of a review for some new glacier packs, I flew back to back with a Zippy and a Glacier. I normally only charge to 95%, but for the review I went all the way to 100%. So on a fresh Zippy 6s3000 40c pack, I got 79A on the ground, and on the new Glacier 6s3300 30c pack, 92A. Thats right, 92A. Time to upgrade my 70A ESC if I'm going to keep flying with these new Glacier packs... Sorry Joe, you were very right and I didn't even know it!
Just got a shipping confirmation for my green MXS!! Woo I am stoked! Now comes the tough part, waiting.
Sweetness! I got three flights on my BEAUTIFUL YELLOW one today, and it was just the EF fix I needed
