[QUOTE="sonny.barile, post: 500714, member: 18154"] The max. draw listed for the TM is not the normal working load draw you will see in use. It’s going to be much lower. That 56amp number is if you are on full max. power and your prop gets caught up in the weeds. It will draw that momentarily……..and your circuit breaker or fuse will trip. My xi3 listed amps as 52. My circuit breaker to the TM is only 50 amps. It has never tripped…….. My results from this morning show that at max speed setting under a good load my 55lb drew 10 percent of the battery (6.5 amps) in about 30 minutes. That would make that draw 13 amps and not 52 as listed in the specs. Moral of the story……you don’t need 56 amps per hour of run time. [/QUOTE]
