This is a reply that I got from a forum member on another forum today.
Motor startup current can peak around 200% of the normal running current..... 11 inch props are too big for the 30amp escs. Also you are carrying too much payload weight for these Escs. Ecalc for MRs will tell you that if you input your data correctly. Invest in 45 amp Turnigy Multistar ESCs or equiv and your issues will disappear.....

After 5 minutes of hover the esc's are hot as in uncomfortable to where you can only hold your fingers on them for a short time. The hexa weighs in at 6lbs 9oz. And the motors have a max thrust of 2200g at full throttle per motor. The motors are pull 15Amps each.
I can't figure out if the guy is correct or no. But from the test that aerial media pros did with these motors and the stock DJI esc's it really makes me wonder.
