This business of deliveries from China seem to be quite controversial. I try not to order anything if it is specified 'from China', but when I get so called UK suppliers specifying delivery dates a month or so away, I begin to wonder. I'm i …

Hi Doc. The issue might be the postal service from his location, my orders from MBB usually arrive within a couple of days if they are stock items and a extra day of so if I've ordered a 'special' prop-shaft or coupling that needs to be mac …

3 brushless motors on one channel ?
Hi JB, "probably could use just one battery on a power distribution board, that's all they do with drones which commonly have 3-8 motors/ESC" Yeees, you probably could, as long as you're not looking for exorbitant current, like some of the …

3 brushless motors on one channel ?
Hi Doug, probably could use just one battery on a power distribution board, that's all they do with drones which commonly have 3-8 motors/ESCs. Makes it a lot simpler and cheaper just having one decent battery. Not sure if the P40 board has …

3 brushless motors on one channel ?
Nobody notice the 'deliberate' mistake? " I also recommend the use of an UBEC to supply the ESCs, disconnect ALL red leads from the plug at the RX. You can then wire the UBEC supply to the ESCs through one switch." That is nonsense of cours …

3 brushless motors on one channel ?
Hi CB, The absolute easiest way to do this, unless you like experimenting with electrics and wiring, has to be to use the P40E motor and rudder mixer board for up to 3 motors from Action Electronics. https://www.componentshop.co.uk/p40e-mar …

3 brushless motors on one channel ?
Hi CB90, You might be able to run 3 motors using 3 ESCs by removing the red wire from all 3 ESC to RX leads, making a 3 into one RX plug (must be able to plug/unplug each ESC lead,- will require soldering up leads,) , and using an external …

34.5" crash tender brushless motor set up
There are some useful articles in the 'How to' section of this website on basic wiring for the receiver, ESC and motor. It is also worth looking in the on-site shop as it has a range of fittings for the 1/16th scale Crash Tender. Graham93
