I thought i put a link on that post , link ( ill try again ,,) I have salvaged a connector from an old esc and powered the fc from my bench psu and all is working fine .. thanks for all your help..

Thanks for the help , i have ordered some of these (BEC's) . So whats the idea of having 4 seperate +5 v feeds ?

Hi , i have replaced all the esc's on my black widow drone , but i think i made an error when buying the esc's , am i right in thinking the cc3d fc gets its power from the esc then sends power on to the receiver ? . The esc's i took off had 3 wires each going to the fc and the new ones only have...

Ok , i will change all 4 , would the racerstar 35amp Dugdog47 suggested allow for possible motor upgrade in the future too ? . also the motor of the burnt esc looks like the windings have got a bit hot , there is a photo in the pics i linked in the first post ( the last one) . i am a bit...

ok , thanks..

Hi all , i had my mavic pro crash recently due to the rear left motor stopping looking at the logs iit appeared the motor was still getting voltage but the current dropped , in testing the motor it seemed a little tighter to turn than the others but spinning it ant testing the output voltage it...

Ahh yes , I see there’s an led on the buck covertor on , , the board does say 4-13 volts , I thought i thought the battery would last longer and be less heat using the buck .. Could I just wire the main switch before the converter ?

Hi all , i recently did a lipo battery conversion on my H107D+ transmitter , i also installed a buck converter and set it to 6 v (same as 4 x AA's) it was all working well . I have just tried to turn it on after a week or so of no use but the lipo is dead flat .. have i missed something ...
