Technical Assistance Required

Hi All.

Can anybody give me some on advice on how to test an electric motor and speed controller?
Mine has failed ( last time used the motor ran intermittently and even ran backwards before cutting out completely ) i have a spare motor and controller however both are very different in sizes/weight/connectors) .
If i could test which and know which is faulty between the motor and speed controller will save me a lot of hassle trying to make it fit.

Any advice welcomed.

Many Thanks

Ricky

I think you might have already realised that the only way to test would be to standardise connectors so you can swap motors and controllers. If you do this it is then easy to check a motor/controller by running it without a propeller.

From your description, I'd suggest that the controller is faulty...a faulty motor will not run backwards.

Hi Mike

Thanks for the information, I will do the easy root and replace both at the same time.

Hopefully i will have it done by Monday and the weather is good enough to fly.

thanks again
