Use it with JJ604 Lipoly Objective Performance Calculation Tool and it tells you the true C rating.

I've seen what you've described. Turned out to be a failing motor.

Re: Frustrated! Power Setup help PLEASE!!
The one I was playing with ran fine until it got warm. As it warmed up the power draw would increase... until it finally gave up in a cloud of magic smoke. Pretty sure, somewhere in all the reference material that comes with a new motor, it states cycles until it needs to be lubricated.....

When I torn it down, no visible signs of anything wrong....

I plan to run mine on the ground for a full flight with throttle up down kinda like i was flying it, to see if it warms up or acts up etc etc. I will also use the eagle tree and monitor all the settings. Hopefully it's not the motor or esc, as i just bought two brand new batteries.
