So let me get this straight in my head. It seems that esc temps are more dependent on the motor than on the batteries? If we lower the Kv of the motor we must increase the voltage of the pack in order to get a competitive speed. So if I were to switch from a 1900Kv motor to a 1700Kv motor and still use 4s I would be sacrificing speed but my esc would run at a lower temp. am i understanding this correctly? I am sorry if this has been covered many times before but I'll be willing to bet I am not the only one slightly confused by all of this.
