motor

I'm taking the plunge into RC airplanes with the FT Explorer + Power Pack C. Everything is great so far, but I'm running into an issue with the Emaxx GT2215/09 motor. Basically, everything else seems to work -- receiver, ESC, servos -- but the motor either does absolutely nothing or else beeps...

Please watch my video and help me. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone. My bixler 1.1 killed a ESC a few months ago, it was a mystrey (blueseries) 40A. I thought It died because of lack of airflow in the fuselage. Today I finally got around to putting another ESC in it, I replaced it with a blueseries 30A, but this time mounted it ontop of the wing...

I have 30A ESCs and EMAX RS2205 motors - the motors come with 30 AWG wires and the ESCs have 18 AWG wire. I made a few mistakes getting things connected to the PDB - long story short I had to buy more wire and all I could find was 22 AWG wire. I know that too much amperage over wires that are...

I have been given a Velineon 3500 motor, which comes out of an R/C car. Is there any reason I cannot use this in an airplane? I hate to waste a good (free!) motor.

Hi people I've built the versa in tractor format as I haven't flown for a few years so want to use it to get use to the sticks again. I've flown it once it had lots of speed but not a lot of power to cope with the UK wind got a 30amp esc and 2200ma 3s battery, it has an all up weight Inc...

I am looking to build the FT MIGHTY MINI CORSAIR and currently have a mini-powerpod with this http://www.altitudehobbies.com/a-series-motors/brushless-motor-300-28-12-1400kv-suppo-2204-14 motor on it running a 6x5.5 prop with a 10A ESC. Will this setup work with the Corsair. I don't want a...

howdy! im having a motor that just stops after a while of consistent throttle, any one had this problem so far? when in cleanflight or blhelisuite, i can test the motors, set a low throttle and all motors spin happily ever after :p but! if i set any throttle value on the transmitter (usb...

hello! im just testing every thing out before i finally put every thing together ive got the ESC's connected to the F3 via the servo ports and since it states in the manual, to configure the servo ports before use - i just incrementally set the according channels in the servo tab of...

This is my first build of your planes and I ordered the kit without the motor or other electronics. I have some motors that I would like to see if they are going to work with the Tiny Trainer: E-Flite EFLM7010 BL280 - 1800 KV comes with EFLA 10 Amp ESC and E-Flite RFLB4503SJ50 battery...

has any one ever used one of these power hubs? http://www.diatone.hk/goods.php?id=305 while cabling my ESC's i found that i have 4 cables but only 3 solder pads on the power hub obviously 2 are for the power and one pad for the signal now, can i safely just solder the ground wire of the 2...

Hello everybody, I with my friend have decided to make a foam RC plane, we have decided to make it from scratch and not by copying any plan from the internet. I want to make it with two engines, I mean two brushless motors, The problem I am facing is choosing the right motors. I want it to be as...

I've got a quad copter built with Dji naza m lite and 30 amp esc and a sky fly transmitter. When i arm the motors one of them just turns on constantly and the other three motors turn on at different times when i throttle up. Can anyone help??

Hi there. Yet another noob looking for troubleshooting help! My Versacopter worked flawlessly for several months until I had a bad crash and rebuilt. Ever since the rebuild, it will only fly using my 3S battery. I have 2 other batteries which are 4S. When I try flying with a 4S battery, it...

has anyone used a 24 gram motor and 9 gram servo's on the mini corsair or mustang . if so how'd it fly ?

Hi! I'm Jack, Long term areal videographer at JJDrones (http://www.JJdrones.co.uk) I have recently purchased a VersaWing Blunt nose, I have covered it in duct tape (Mad it super heavy) and it's dead weight (frame +servos's only) is 800G Aprox. I am looking for a motor and esc that are capable...

Hello all the way from Norway! I'm a noob, and have only been doing some rc car back in my youth. I’ve now got the interest for both multirotors and planes. I’ve been learning a lot from Flite Test’s vids and planning on building a quadcopter and plane this summer. I’m also hoping to get into...

Just wondering what are some common brands/types of oil that are good for lubricating brushless electric motors. Thanks!

Hey Flite Test, I am a big fan and absolutely love what you guys are doing, just curious if Josh Bixler is planning on showing how he modified the Dynaflite Bird of Time with a motor? I absolutely love that episode and i can't get enough of it and was planning on rebuilding the same thing. (i...

Hey guys, I would normally troubleshoot this myself, but I am a little tight on time. I just flashed CF back onto my naze after running dRonin for a little bit. I had to short the boot pins to get it flashed, but it connects to CF configurator now. First I went back to CF 1.09 because I had some...
