I've just finished an AXN, no flights yet, bit much wind around at the moment.
Out of interest I put a wattmeter on it and with a 3s 2200 lipo and standard 5x5 prop the current draw shows as a whisker under 21 amps. No problem ESC wise as I've got the HK 25-30 amp ESC Bruce suggests, but from looking at the HK website it says the motor has a max current of 18 amps.
Are AXN motors overly prone to burning out as this might suggest? Or is the 18a limit a bit conservative and they are fine unless you only ever use full power?
I read somewhere with a 6x5 which Bruce mentions in his video on improving the AXN for $1 that the draw is 26 amps. How well does the motor fare when this prop is used?
Thanks!
