Power distribution board

[SpaKteL]

I need to connect my 4x40A ESCs to my battery for my quad, however I couldn't find any distribution board for that high current (40x4=160A). Maybe I am doing something wrong?

What motors are you using? Just because your esc's are 40 amps doesn't mean that's what they are pulling, that's just the amount of current that they can handle if need be

I am using these. Well... is it bad i use only 30A from 40A esc ?

Those motors can pull 45 amps anyway, which should be fine, as long as you don't spend too much time at full throttle

Thank you, I'll buy this one.

Okey thanks. But now I understood that I can max get 25A for motors, because I have 10000mAh 10C LiPo (100A current from battery /4 = 25A). I guess I will have to buy new 10000mAh 25 C for more current .

If you wanted to use a certain PDB you can beef op the traces by tinning them, and soldering some solid core wire along them. You could use an AWG or trace calculator to get everything right.
