G+_Bill (CryptoMoore) Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 What causes quad motors to heat up. I have a build where I am running multistar 2204/2300kv motors; 3s battery; 6x4 props and 30a ESC's. The machine runs great just when I bring it back I can almost not even touch the motors they are so hot.. Fr.

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 All motors will heat up.. Unfortunately, the multistar 2204 2300kv can are NOT good motors. You're running at the very limit of those motors (3s, 6x4) so they're just naturally going to get hot. You may also be suffering from a sync problem... But even then... They're just going to run hot.

G+_Bill (CryptoMoore) Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Thanks I just wanted to make sure I was not close to the "magic smoke"... It makes sense.. I have 14 machines and this is the only one that get very hot.. thanks for the response. Gonna go pic up the new ones one RTFQ..
