Hi, I have the Emax Simon Series 30amp escs on my F450 quad, it says in the instructions that it actually has BLHeli firmware. I am not sure which Esc option I should choose with my CC3D and the refresh Hz rate as I have searched everywhere and cant find this? Can someone please recommend. I chose update rate at 490hz and PWM using Spektrum Satellite.It seems to fly ok, escs are a bit warm but not hot after 12 minutes of flight I have the Emax 2213/935 motors as well but am concerned I may burn the escs out, thanks in advance.

Generally use the fastest ESC update rate that you have available that is easy to set up.  "PWMSync" or "PWM + 490Hz" (on all banks that have an output that is connected to an ESC) should work very well.

I chose update rate at 490hz and PWM using Spektrum Satellite.

Spektrum Satellite is not related to ESC setup.    Maybe you are just saying you use 490Hz ESC update rate, and you also use Spektrum Satellite.

Great thanks Cliff, that is the option I am currently using is PWM/490hz, for some reason when I went through the wizard choosing rapid and PWMsync the escs would not do the throttle calibration the escs would not beep after I plugged in the battery, when I changed it to only PWM it worked. So that is when I was thinking 490hz might be to much for the esc's, but it does fly good. How do I tell if the Hz is to much for the esc's? I did mean to say I was using a Satellite I thought the signal input had something to do with how the CC3D adjusted the signal to the ESC's but now I realize that the cc3d puts the signal to the escs. Thanks still learning.

Generally, if they calibrate and work it's not too fast.  If PWM-490 works well for you, use it.

Ok Cliff, sounds good, thanks for all the help!
