Thinking about these motors for a first time build. The specs say max 15a draw, so that would be well under the 20a ESC ratings.
These are the ESCs I’m thinking of getting:

And of course the KK2. About the KK2, it has been 20 years since i have messed with helos, and from what I gather the KK2 is an all-in-one gyro/mixer/stabilizer.
Thoughts?

They are a little smaller than what I am using.
I am using the T-Motor Mt 22-16 900KV V2 on 4s with 9-5 HQ-e props.5 January, 2015 at 01:12 #8740ObakemonoParticipantOk, thankyou. Do you know of any links or tutorials to teach myself about the motors and how they are numbered? I have gathered that the first two digits are the motor diameter in MM, but what is the second set? I also gather that the XXXkv is RPM per volt?

5 January, 2015 at 03:48 #8744ObakemonoParticipantThx. I am thinking about getting into these copters, and I think the 3 rotor should be fine for me as a beginner. I have flown R/C helos a long time ago, and i was into R/C cars while I lived in Japan, so this looks to be quite interesting.

6 January, 2015 at 20:10 #8837RCExplorer – DavidKeymasterThose are the same as the Emax 980kV motors, they work ok on 4S and 9×5 props. They get a bit warm and they don’t get quite the same flight time. On a scale of 1-10 I would put them at 5. 🙂
