ESC-Motor Combo Question

[RC-Mallory]

I am looking into getting some new ESCs for my miniquad due to a failure in my previous cheap as dirt and equally terrible quality ones. However, from past experience, my motors seem to be power hungry beasts that killed 2 12A BLHeli ESCs on a very short 10% spool up test... So, my question is, will a KISS 24A be enough, or are there any equivalent good ESCs to try? My last set was a set of cheap 30A ESCs that seem to work except for weird bugs causing random flipping, but I would rather avoid burning out more ESCs trying to find one that works.

My setup is a size 180 quadcopter with 4S batteries. The motors that I am using are Lumenier RB2204 Skitzo Edition and I am building it for racing/freestyle FPV. Any suggestions for good quality high performance but not too expensive ESCs would be appreciated.
FYI: I have done some research on the motors that I have and some sources say it can pull more than 24A in burst, but I am not sure if this is accurate and have no way of really testing this myself.

Thanks in advance for any advice/information.

Which prop are you running on the 2500kVs?

Which prop are you running on the 2500kVs?

I am not entirely sure of how all of the prop specifications work, but I know I am running 3-blade 1030 props, so by comparison, I think they best match the HQ 5x4x3, but I could be completely wrong. That is some very good information though, thank you for the help!

Can you post a picture of the numbers on the props?

If it's a 180, if assume you're using 4" props

Yea, I took a closer look at the propeller, looks like it is a 5030.

I use Simonk 12A escs

I think the KISS 24a, LittleBee 20a, DYS20a or RG20a would do the job fine.

Thanks for the input, I am just hesitant because of all the ESCs that I have popped due to overdraw. I noticed that Skitzo runs 30A with his setup, but I don't plan on flying quite as aggressively for a while, so I will probably go with the smaller 24A ESC.
