Brushless Motor problem
Thank you Doug. I will follow your recommendation. I will go for the two 2x 10 Cells connected in series. It is a big boat to push through the water. That should be a good bit of ballast too. Regards Chris

"I assume the two x 10 Cell NiMh Batteries would be connected in Parallel not in series. Otherwise the voltage would be too high. Do you agree?" ABSOLUTELY NOT CHRIS! Connecting batteries in parallel can be dangerous, unless both have ident …

Hi Chris, I kinda figured that ballast came into the SLA equation there I do that with my larger warships (ca 1.5m) as well. I too prefer 'power ballast' to 'dead lead' if possible. Reckon you'll be pushed to find NiCads nowadays. They're r …

Doug, I went for the 12v SLA because it actually acted as good ballast. I will certainly consider your suggestion of the 14 NiCad batteries. that should be a good ballast as well. My speed controller is the Hawk 100A. I will keep you update …

Thank you very much for this information. I will certainly check this out. I don't think it is a binding issue because the other servos are working corretly. Regards Chis

Think would start at the simplest thing-check your Tx/Rx binding. For some inexplicable reason mine occasionally loose bind and it causes similar problems Good luck

The yellow one is the one I purchased. Followed the instructions posted here and IT WORKS! Now I need to decide if I want to mount it into an old K&O outboard or make an airboat/camera boat. But at least now it works. Thanks to all of you f …

If this yellow one is yours, it has a 5v 2A BEC, so you should be able to pug it in to the throttle channel of your ESC. Takes max 3s LiPo. If you are using a LiPo, you will need to set it to the LiPo setting. Should work on the set-up inst …

Are you using the bec to power your receiver? If not you have to disconnect , I think the middle wire of the esc. Someone will confirm if this is correct.

Brushless motor problem
Looking at your ESC pic there is no red wire as there is no BEC. Designed to plug into a drone multi controller it is possible that that unit provides the rx power, and will have a common earth (neg). The ESC requires a black neg wire and a …

You should invest in a simulator. It makes fault finding so much easier. Eliminating the need for the rx and tx .

I've printed out the firs page and will attempt to set the ESC tomorrow sometime. Your help (as always - is appreciated). It seems brushed motors (except for RFI issues) are a lot simpler to set up. Thanks again, and I let you know what hap …

Sounds like you have plugged the ESC into the battery channel on the rx as your motors are exhibiting a no signal message.

Hi PP, if your ESC looks like the pics,(for aircraft forward control only) try setting it like this - (first pic), make sure you have your throttle CH reversed (Futaba TXs ) before you start. If ESC is different, a pic would help. Make sure …

Lithium Grease is suitable for high speed it is actually an outboard marine grease and doesn't contain clay.
