Hi guys..
Is it ok to match stock motor OBL 29/35-10H, with my currently owned
align 35A (RCE-BL35X) esc..

Does this setup gives a problem? Can I do mild 3D with this setup?
Many people says, this motor is good if used with 40A esc.. I don't want
to increase "pain" by having to buy a new ESC as well..

the spec for this motors says
-KV rating: 3500 RPM/V
-Max efficient current: 4 ~ 20A
-Max surge current: 30A / 60s

It seems, maximum current is 30A.. then, why is it good with 40A esc when
35A esc also already passes the minimum spec requirement?

Thanks..

zeese5, the stock e325 motor is going to draw up to 40A and with a 35A max esc you run the risk of the ESC cutting while doing manouvers. Fellow flier with such setup has crashed due to this.

The Align 35esc can have up to 45amp draw. You should be fine IMO.
