Testing of Little Bee ESCs and also a comparison with SN20A ESCs.
The back story goes something like this. I have two Avada Quads one running KISS 18Amp ESCs with T-Motor 2208 and it’s on 3S. This is one Insane Quad. I loved the way it flew and couldn’t risk pumping 4S into the KISS with 2208 Motors so I built a second 4S Avada. The difference being its running 2204 T-Motor and SN20A ESCs.
This second quad flew well but didn’t feel insane on 4S as specially compared to my 3S Beast. After some research and feedback from other members of the community I decided to give the Little Bee ESCs a go.
Buzz Hobbies Offered us a set to Review and a Set as Giveaway and a Third Set that I purchased. I also ended up purchasing a Thrust Stand from HK so I could test my SN20 ESCs Vs the Little Bee.
On both 3S and 4S I was getting about 50g more thrust on the Little bee escs. Both ESCs were flashed this the same version of BLHeli and exactly the same settings. There are two possibly reasons for more thrust on the Little Bee ESCs, a) The SN20A Escs were faulty b) The Little Bee ESCs are better. Keep in mind I'm in no way saying SN20 ESCs are rubbish or anything like that at all, in fact we still intend on using them as specially when you consider how competitively the SN20A escs are priced, I just feel the feedback I've been getting from the Community is correct in that the Little Bee ESCs are coming up to the performance of KISS ESCs.
I’m honestly leaning towards the Little Bee ESCs being a better ESC not only in just more thrust but that more locked in feel they give you
The quad now feels solid on both 3S and 4S and on 4S it’s impressive!! more videos to come from this beast.
Additional Notes Based on Comments below:
On full Throttle using the same Sunnysky Test Platform the SN20A pulled around 19.2amps and the Little Bee pulled 20.5amps, now this is where it gets really interesting, the SN20A got Warmish, but the Little Bee was still perfectly cool to touch. That was a 20second burst of full Throttle. Hope that's of help.
