I feel like I'm missing a fundamental piece of information, hoping someone can fill the gap.
I have been bench testing my electronics to see if I need more grunt to fly my over weight Tiny Trainer. I have had the following setup
6045 Prop
2204 Motor
20 Amp ESC
800 mAh 2S 20C
When I ran this up I was measuring 6 Amps at full throttle and I think 7.8 volts.
I then, for curiosity sake, switched the battery to a 2200mAh 3S 20C. I ran the motor up but before I could even get to half throttle the ESC was cooked. I didn't get to see how many amps it was drawing.Why if it was only drawing 6 amps with the 2 cell would the 3 cell fry the ESC?
