Configuration for VOXL 4in1 mini 6S ESC and Newbee Drone Flow 2808 1300KV motors

Hello, we are assembling drones using VOXL 2 mini chips, the 6S 4in1 ESC and these Newbee motors and are having trouble developing the voxl-esc configuration that works with this hardware setup. Has anyone worked with this type of setup with any success? links to models below

@ashley-miller , for this motor (28xx class), you should use the following ESC M0138 FPV ESC :

The mini ESC (M0129) is designed for small and lightweight drones and mini FPV racers (750g or less for slow flyers and 500g or less for mini FPV drones).

The peak power for one of these motor is almost 1kW each - the mini ESC cannot handle that for several reasons, such as peak current capacity, thermal.

If you would like to use the 2808 motor, please choose the M0138 FPV ESC and perform motor calibration using voxl-esc tools : https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/blob/master/voxl-esc-tools/calibration.md

Also, please review the following FAQ: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-escs/faq/
