Problems with my Plane - Riot Max Thrust

Aim for 10:30.

Speak then.

Unfortunately was not able to get Alfie's equipment working, but was able to isolate it as a speed controller problem. Resoldering a few connectors didn't help so it looks like it is an electronic problem which is then beyond my skill and my eyesight.

A few suggestions for replacement ESCs:

Blue series 40A This is the controller I had attached to my foamy model. I've got a couple of these and have been using them without problems for a couple of years. Unfortunately they are out of stock so you could be waiting a while for delivery.

Blue series 50A In stock...a few dollars more than the 40A controller. I'd assume it would work as reliably as the 40A ones but have not had one myself.

Turnigy Plush 40A I've not used these but they do get good reviews.

YEP 45A I've not used these but they are a copy of the very expensive German YGE controllers and as such get good reviews.

I looked at the Giant Shark website but their decent controllers (Hobbywing) are out of stock. If you want to get a controller by next weekend you could try one of these from Robotbirds. I haven't used them but the company is well respected so you should be OK.

Robotbirds pro 40A

Robotbirds basic 40A

David, I have a spare 40 amp OEM ESC if you need it. £25. I am in Christchurch. You will have to solder on a deans plug though, because I knicked the original... :lol: Getting short of genuine deans!

Evening Mike

Really appreciated your time this morning.

Will probably order off robotbirds.

The route out of Verwood was far better than the way in. What a road in!

Speak soon.

Evening

When would it be possible to pick it up from you this week?

Regards

I assume you mean the ESC. Anytime before 10.30am. 40 Chestnut Way, Burton, Christchurch. BH23 7LS

Evening Phil

If before 10:30 am, will have to be the weekend.

Saturday?

Saturday? If XC Weather is correct it looks like a gentle slope soaring session at WinGreen rather than Cashmoor.

However, you would probably want to get the Riot running asap. May I suggest any weekday, 4pm onwards including evenings. I won't be here but my wife will be. Will leave the ESC available.

Phil

Can I collect tomorrow (Saturday)?

Will be down in Christchurch from say 9:15 tomorrow morning. Then coming back past Burton say noon.

Thanks

Yes that'll be okay. I probably won't be there but wife will hand it over. I'll tell her to expect you about noon.
