Here's my setup:
HK 30A ESC's w/simonk, Turnigy 2730-1300kv motors, 8x4.5 props, 2350mah 20c batt.
I've had the battery near the front (side-to-side, pic 1) of the copter for a several flights and then saw that placing the battery lengthwise (2nd pic), closer to the back may be better.
For my short time with the battery as in pic 2, I thought it flew better.
Both front motors do not get over 110oF.
My battery in pic 1 position, tail motor gets about 130oF.
Battery in pic 2 position, tail motor gets about 160-170oF. Both, I think are too hot.
I'm wondering if anyone knows why this may be happening. Should I try a different prop/motor? And, what battery position is better?
Thanks,
JD
