amp draw on direct drive 550 with d34 x p .8

[robster94gt]

Hey all,

I was just wondering what kind of current I would be pulling with a 550 motor and 34x.8 prop. I'm using a graupner 15 amp esc with a 25 amp peak - 7.2v 6 cells.

Thanks,

Rob

You can calculate that from the runtime and battery capacity:

Battery capacity (in A) x 60, divided by the runtime in minutes.

For example: (3,3 x 60) : 8 = 24,75A (typical mono 1 set-up: 600 motor, 7 cell battery, 34,5K surface drive)
