On my 2 blade 700 helicopters I run anywhere from 1800 to 2100 head speed and see amp draws anywhere from 145 amps on easy flying to 190 amps in hard 3D. Obviously the 190+ amps is at the higher head speeds and under harder maneuvers. For this heli in the video, I installed my 3 bladed head and tail which will draw a lot more power especially at the higher head speeds. Would the Hobbywing 180 amp ESC on this airframe have worked fine... probably but I am also not a big fan of living in the factor or safety. Hobbywing states that the 180 is rated for 180 amps continuous and 260 amps peak. If this was staying a 2 blade heli I would have opted for the 180. But since I intend to fly this 3 blade at higher HS and hard, I opted for the extra capacity.
technically speaking you would draw more amps from big loops and stuff like that - as opposed to 3D smack stuff which would not be so high, I do agree though better with greater headroom, i recently moved to a 300a scorpion tribunus, I can easily hit 240 260 amps with the tri blade heli's so why push a 200a - as we all know bigger is better!!!
I was asked if this 260 was ovekill. When this heli was a 2 blade, I had a HW 130 on it. I typically flew it with lower head speeds. What I was commenting on was I intend to fly this arrangement at higher head speeds and much harder which as you noted above will draw more amps. In the past I never drew 240 plus so I expect to see peak amps anywhere from 200 to 230. We will see this weekend.
Thanks for these videos!
I enjoy doing them. If there is a specific topic you want just let me know and I will see if I can get it done.
@@biscaolena just curious, does the HW80 V5 have full telemetry? Might pick one up for a setup. Thanks

Okay, I have to ask the question..... Isn't this overkill? How much amperage are you currently pulling?
