At the time of the ESC board failure, I was hovering 3 ft. above my garage floor. It was windy and raining with temps at the time around 75-78°. I hovered for around 6 minutes or so, just long enough to drain the batteries some. I wanted to check voltage between the main and the externals to...

Wow, that's good. I've had the ESC board replaced in my first mavic after a few runs with dual Multistar 3000mah LiHV batteries attached. I recently purchased a 2nd mavic and have run it once with the dual 3000mah batteries. Thats why I was so interested in the results taken with the IR gun, to...

SkyNinja. Have you had to replace any components on your mavic from the added weight the motors are supporting ?

Completed my thermal comparison test this past weekend, and I must say that I was not impressed with the IR gun I purchased. Because of inconsistent readings and the fact the gun has a accuracy of plus/minus 5°C, which is not good, I'm not going to post those results. I will wait til I can get a...

Began running thermal comparison test today. Going to do several test for each load for average. Weather will remain constant for the next few days so that will help. Happy flying!

SkyNinja, do you always mount your batteries on top or bottom? Have you side-mounted your batteries before. If so, is one way better than the other for longer flight times?

Impressive setup you have there, SkyNinja.

Are those the low noise props?

SkyNinja. Where do you mount the two 4600 batteries?

Honestly, the main reason for wanting to measure motor temps is because I recently had my mavic repaired, ESC board fried due to excessive heat. Here is my story . I wanted to see how well the voltage of the dual external Multistar 3000mah LiHV compared to that of the main. At that time I was...

Sorry for the confusion, SkyNinja. I will run either dual 3000mah batteries or the Bolt 1800mah. I do not run with 3000mah on one side and a 1800mah on the other.

It would be interesting to do a thermal comparison test to see just how much hotter the mavic motors get with the extra weight. If I can get my hands on a thermal gun I'll post my results.

My current setup.

Thank you SkyNinja. Your information eased my concern !

Thank you for your input, mavicpro1000, it is greatly appreciated. So I am fine with either set of externals as far as the C value goes?
