esc

Hi all, I am planning to buy an esc for my tricopter setup. What is the purpose of programming an esc? I am cost effective .and is it really necessary that I should necessarily buy a programming card to program my esc for my model? help plzzz...:confused:

Hey guys! So the other day my ESC came to a very hot and sputtering stop. So I decided to get a new Plush 30A ESC to replace it. After much foam carving to get at my bixler's connections, I finally replaced the ESC. I plugged it into the receiver and into the motor to give it a test. However...

So I bought this combo (http://www.hobbypartz.com/60p-dy-1026.html), and hooked up a smaller battery to it (1200 3s 15c) and it worked fine. I cut the connection to the battery to put a different connector on it, but when I cut the battery, for a split second the two blades of the scissors...

I want to know if I can power a receiver with an ESC with a BEC built in without connecting a motor. Is the motor required or does the BEC just split the voltage from the battery and regulate it? If not then how do gliders have their receivers powered? Would a Turnigy Plush 6A ESC with 5V, 0.8A...

I had three fried ESCs and a month's worth of no flight time out of my Kraken. I have less than 30 min total time flying my kraken, the last flight I had to crash land in a soybean field due to a #2 ESC failure on final. The bird is incredible to fly, but something is not right. I used the...

I still need a suggestion about the pmu and esc. This is talked about 7:40 min into the video. thanks!

I got the Naza M flight controller today and need to figure out how to supply power through my esc to the PMU unit to power the LED. The esc im using is a 4 x 25A Brain Q esc. Where do I wire the PMU connections to the esc battery lead? Do I solder them on at the base of the battery...

I haven't found any cases or solutions for this that worked for me on the Internet yet so hopefully we can solve this for anyone else that might be having this problem. I’ve been building a quadcopter and the motors do not spin at the same time when I increase the throttle. I’m using a KK...

Hey guys, Ill gonna make myself thrown into the hobby and gonna take my dad back with me so my questions will be about "modernizing" or "old and new" items used together. ( ill post pics of all the material i have ) So my dad is going to prepare his stuff to fly glow and a rebuilt glider. My...

Hi, I needed some help putting together a power system that for a slow stick plane. Here's the link to some stuff I picked out http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_wishListPublic.asp?email=sidddharthamaru@gmail.com&idCustomer=1486212 Please check it out and do let me know if its good or...

Built Kraken exactly as published with suppo gear and metal gear servos. 10 gauge harness from batt to ESCs. Both esc would not run on a 2c 5000mah batt (within spec of electrical system) in lipo mode(1). Consulted suppo factory and recomended manually checking cells to ensure min voltage not...

Hi everyone, I built a nice Aerial image and video platform on the Tarot Fy680 frame buying the motors and ESC's from buildyourowndrone.co.uk, upgrading to 11 inch props and larger 30 amp ESC's from Jdrones. So far so good, flies so well, it's very powerful and has no problem lifting the cam...

So I am looking to build a pair of Old Speedsters so that my grandfather (a former private pilot) and myself (only trained on combat simulators and a full scale Cessna 172) to get into the hobby. I have done a little flying with a S.E.5a from flyzone that I burned the ESC out on within a month...

Hi Guys, have a quick question. Recently i installed 4 Castle Creations 35amp esc on my quad. The problem i'm having is getting 3 of them to power on. 3 are non bec and 1 is. The one that has a bec powers on fine and spins the motor no problem, i also use this one in the number 1 position on...

Hey everyone, got a quick question for yall. I have 4 Mystery M-30 esc's installed on my new v-tail. I want to program them so I do this: Plug 1 esc into throttle port on my receiver. Full throttle on transmitter and power it on. Plug in battery. then...........nothing, no tones only heat in...

Hi- FT has gotten me into RC and I've started a build of the FT old speedster. During the setup, I was able to test the motor and servos fine. After I had completed the build and went to test, the ESC burned up. Wondering what went wrong. Here's the part list: - Suppo 18A brushless ESC - 2...

Hello all, I'm an utter noob with regards to RC so please take everything I type with a grain of salt. Before you ask, I have looked through a couple of other ESC tread problems and they all seem to be a bit of a different falvor then mine. What I have: Turnigy Trust 55Amp SBEC NTM 35-36...

Hello, I am new to building a multirotor so please help me understand what the problem I'm experiencing and how to solve it as I'm still lacking some understanding. I am using Turnigy 25A Plush ESC with HK 3.0 Flight Board. Before I had calibrated my ESC with my tx, my motors would start at...

Greetings! This is my first post. I've been lurking for a while and I've finally reached the point where I need to reach out for some advice. So I've just finished building my first FT Spitfire. She looks pretty good considering my limited experience with scratch building. I'm installing the...
