just got these also available in 5s and 6s, maybe a good option two of them for the Skyjib.

Hi Boris,
Do you know how I can upgrade my ESC firmware to set it up for multirotor!?
Thanx

Cinerebel usually the Hobbywing FlyFun are silab chip so there is no firmware yet for them.
If you search vimeo for Skyjib you will find Jules videos. He gets the most stable footage I have seen and he uses similar esc's as you.

Or just write TC abusemark.com an email he is selling the RapisESCs and also flashing them with the adequate Simonks firmware.
MAX is 30A http://abusemark.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=27
But maybe you can talk him into getting some other ones more A and flashing them.

Hi Boris
I am also on building an octo for AE/AV. Just have my DJI, 30 A plush ESC's, NTM 3536 910 Kv, propeller ? , I already have gimbal and gonna use them with Futaba 9cap.
Already have an xaircraft v8 but bought these stuff for a level up.
I wanna ask you about the frame.
I read in some forums that DJI has some issues on octo, with 8 motors. So I m little confused. I might change it to hexa or like some of the guys did, build an octo but using Y connectors, fooling DJI as it was a quad with 4 motors.
If you have any idea, I will be appreciated.

Hi Murat,
no don't worry about Octo with DJI, i don't think there is a general problem or not that I know of. There is the chance that F1 and F2 are a little different than the other ESC ports, but this I don't think it will effect you with the DJI ESCs. There might only be an issue with ESCs that have nofilter implemented at all and react to any given info coming from the ESC ports.
So I wouldn't worry !

80 amp per motor ?
That would be quite something...
max 30 amp per motor at full throttle of course, (I dont think any of us would use full throttle all the time) and it's just about bursting the motors,
then with rough calculation, you have apprx. 3 min flight time with 4s 10000

90 amps in hover with 10lbs on Skyjib 8 with the big 4120 Axi motors. That is 90 amps total not per motor. However we have to upgrade our Power Dist. board. 
This is on 13" props with 6s 10,000mah.
I'll get some pics video end of next week when we redo the power board.

What power board are you using now and what are you going to change to??
Thanks,
