Purchased two Turnigy D3542/5 1250 kv motors and hoped to pair them with a 90 or 120 amp Turnigy Aquastar speed controller. Unfortunately these do not appear to support a reverse function and haven't been available for weeks. I would apprec …

HI Paul If you are using 2.4Ghz you need to use a separate battery as the ESC's power up faster than the receiver so never manage to self set up. Doesn't happen with all rc sets but my Futaba sets exhibit this frequently. When is your Club …

ok, only had a very brief water test, as the model I am building decided to hide a small hole in the hull, but did decide to expose this when in the water, so leaked! The esc's do appear to be water proof, they are sealed very well, not jus …

You're right about not resisting more boats but as you say they aren't my kind of thing. I'm really into lifeboats at the moment, my next one will be the 1/16th Speedline Severn and the hints have already been flying. My order from HK was f …

HI Wes Thanks for that. I was quoting a user's feedback so have no actual experience of the particular ESC. Dave

Brushless Speed Controllers
HI Dave I can assure you that reverse is fully proportional over the reverse range you set. if you set 50% then full travel of stick in reverse will give motor speed of 50% but control is still proportional from stick centre (stop) to full …

HI Dave, thanks for your input , done a little bit more research myself and had some feedback from a mate. He reckons the 90 amp is overkill and given the amps draw of the motor (48 amps) a Hobbyking 50 amp would be more than sufficient. Gi …
