Problems with my Plane - Riot Max Thrust

Will try what you have suggested. If no joy, in the post back to the manufacturer on Monday.

Shame because tomorrow looks like a good to day to fly.

Thanks

If you want to pop over to Verwood on your way to Cashmoor tomorrow morning I can check your motor(s) using another ESC. Can also check the soldering and if that is your problem can send you on your way all fixed up.

Evening Mike

What a star. Thank you.

What time would be convenient? Say any time after 10.

Address?

Any time after 10 would be fine.

58 Howe Lane
BH31 6JF

Number not clear on the gate post but look for black Peugeot on the drive

01202 829640 if you get lost

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
