Thanks Brent
I am using 4s batteries. I don’t see a Edge-Lite that goes that small. I did see a Talon that is 4s.
What would you recommend?
I have a Cobra 2820 970kv, Castle Edge-Lite 50 ESC and Hubin FM-9 in High Governor mode, Thunder Power 4s2800, BadAss 11x6 wood prop. It only pulls 28amps holding on the ground at 9908 rpm. (Hubin programmer box RPM setting) The attached picture shows the amp draw of this setup, running on the ground.
It's much more about amp draw, not necessarily number of cells in the selection of your ESC needs. Each of the Castle ESC'S mentioned can handle 6 cells or more.
All of the Castle ESC's can be adjusted in the Castle-Link program to shut down as low as the stated amp rating of the ESC, i.e. 35, 50, 60 amps. It's not as fool proof as a stopped rotor/prop function, but it should save itself from a meltdown in case of a nose over or similar event.
Talon 35 would probably cover
my current needs and is lighter at only 1oz.
Edge Lite 50 if you want to data-log, and need that extra amp capacity. (2oz)
(I have run this same Edge-Lite 50 ESC on 6S TP2800 with a Cobra 3520 700kv motor & 12x6APC)Talon 60, no data logging and is ready for any higher amp draw needs. (2oz)
