Align 450dfc combo stock with pulse 3s 2250mah 45c compared to Align 550dfc combo stock with pulse 4500 6s 45c.
On the 450 after a flight the motor is stone cold. The esc is a little warmish but not much. The battery is hot and if I use older batteries of other brands they puff up and get even hotter.
On the 550 the battery is cold after a flight but the esc is hot and the motor is extremely hot.
Is it gearing, head speed, amp ratings, battery quality or what is it that makes them behave so differrently?
What to prefer, hot battery or hot components? Or is there a sweet spot where everything is balanced?
