How to choose the right motor for your multicopter drone

hello i have taror tyi-5008 400kv motor for quadcopter. its maximum current is 24A for 15 inch prop. i have used 30A esc but esc get busted.

Sometimes ESC can fail for other reasons, or even something like the motor jamming with the ground in a crash can cause an ESC to burn out too… Lastly Did you use the correct voltage with your motor and ESC?

Sorry for butting in Tech1 but…i understand what Med_Alg is saying about is estimations because i am building one with about the same weight/motors but what i can’t get me head round…lol is what Lipo battery to get? :thinking: the motors will be either 380kv or 580kv, it saying that those two motors ive mentioned both use 4 to 6s lipo’s, either 22.2V or 14.8V, will i need to buy either a 12000 or 16000mAh,? i haven’t a clue about C rating, i thought building a bird and getting it to fly was easy…lol Geee man what have i got myself into :wink: and please don’t baffle me with to much science…lol

I’m thinking about building a quadcopter, I’m estimating a frame + components of 2.5 KG

So, I’m trying to find out how much thrust each motor needs to provide as I want to hover about 50% of throttle.

2500 grams X 2 X 1.2 (the 20%) = 6000 grams total
6000 grams / 4 motors = 1500 grams

I just wanted to know if I’m right or there’s anything I’m missing.
Would you please suggest me a good motor for this kinda weight.

you need something like this.

hi, i’m building tricopter of total weight 10kg (by 2:1 ratio 20kg)so each motor need 6.6kg of trust. can anyone suggest me the right motors, esc’s, flight controllers, battery, etc…
