hey guys i am haveing problems with my esc i think. my ecs gets very hot when i idel up and just about to lift offmy head speed rpms get real low and it will not lift off and the esc gets hot. I am not sure if my setting are wrong or not ot if there is a way to shut the cut off off on the esc. My throtle curves are at 0/25/50/75/100 would that be right or wrong and would effect my head speed during idel up? thanks guys

Check your main gear and pinion gear mesh. Make sure it is not too tight, also check your belt tension. If it is too tight it will cause alot of drag which creates more stress on the motor, esc, and battery. The belt should be able to push in about half way or a little over with light pressure.
What are you Pitch curves? Stock? Also when you are saying "idle up" do you mean just pushing up on the stick or actually flicking the switch to put the heli in idle up (stunt mode)? Because the throttle curves should be different in idle up than the norm. You posted the norm throttle curve and the idle up throttle curve should be I believe
100%
92.5%
85%
92.5%
100%
Also check your pitch on the main blades too much pitch and not enough head speed will cause issues.

Hope this helps and good luck!

The esc is also in a bad place. The temp this time of year is contributing to the over heating. Try venting your canopy and/or moving the esc to the side of the frame.
