EMAX GT2215 motor with flite test ESC 20A work?

[c_fly]

Hi:
I plan to use EMAX GT2215 motor with flite test ESC 20A. Is that safe? or I need a bigger ESC such as 30A. The spec of the plane : battery 3s 850 75c lipo and 10x4.5 prop.

Thank you.

If you look at the FT Store listing for that motor and read the torque specs it says 26A peak, so too big for a 20A esc.

get it.

thank you very much.

And of course you wont draw 26A for long from a 850 mAh battery. Likely less than 2 minutes.

Yeah, that’s a small battery for a 10” prop.
@c_fly What are you putting that in?
