Has any one experienced brown outs when using one of these with an orange RX receiver? Lost my plane today after suffering a brown out at the top of a vertical climb on WOT. Fail safe appears to have kicked in(slight up elevator with no throttle) but not many settings are going to save a plane just after it's stalled vertically about 100 feet off the ground! I was running a Turnigy 2826 2200KV motor with an APC 7x4 prop and Turnigy 3S 2200mAh 45C battery. The setup used to peak at about 43A so limit WOT to short bursts only. I've had the occasional blinking receiver or satellite LED after landing but never a total loss of control. Use same ESC, Orange RX receiver and battery with a much lower power motor on a Bixler 2 with no issue hence this leads me to suspect the power supply to the RX unit was not up to scratch. ESC and motor were luke warm upon checking after the crash. My scratch built aerobatic however (about 30 hours worth), didn't fair as well. Been pretty happy with Trust ESCs and the Orange RX series until now so suspect my set up may have issues?

Very nice and sturdy ESC with large heatsinks... I have not experienced any brownouts with this ESC and 3536 500W motor with my Spektrum rx...no signal failures...
 Smacko41 5 points
How many amps do you pull with this motor?
 Santhosh 223 points
I don't know..the max current is 34A Motor PRODUCT ID: D3536-61250
 Smacko41 5 points
Your motor may be rated to 500W but if you have a small propeller on it chances are it's pulling under 34A. Conversly if you've gone larger than the recommended prop you will be pulling over 34A. Spent some time testing the electronics today and found elevator servo faulty. Intermittently locks at about 20deg of up, and failure mode appears to be an internal short that is enough to interupt the receiver's signal (get blinking LED on rx or satellite) and in some cases loads the ESC to point where rx voltage sags causing system brown out. So looks like Trust ESC is off the hook, and my Hexatronic 9g servo is headed for the bin, along with the rest of the plane.

Has anyone put the simonk firmware on these? They have an ATMEGA MCU and N-fets so it seems like their performance has the potential for big improvements.
 Santhosh 223 points
I think you are the First one to do it...all the best...
miguel angel  7 points - 5/6/2013
 
I want to use 2 of these on a bi plane without the Y harness but in order to do so bec must be linear
 Santhosh 223 points
You are right....but SBEC output can also be connected in Y -harness....the load will be shared by both the ESCs' SBECs'...

Has anyone used this esc in a boat or car? I am building a boat using this Turnigy®* TRUST SBEC ESC's and a Turnigy XK2845-B-2800KV Brushless Inrunner motor. The transmitter is a trigger actuated center off Tower Hobbies 224 2.4GHz 2-Channel Spread Spectrum Radio System. I am having problems setting up the throttle so the motor stops in the center and reverses as I push the trigger past center. Can someone help me with some setup instructions that work?
 Santhosh 223 points
This ESC does not have "reverse" function...as you need in a boat or car.

Wire to motor. I am new to electrics and I bought one of these ESCs. It has three black wires to the motor. They are labeled "A", "B", "C". The motor wires are yellow, black, and red. I have asked Hoobyking repeatedly to tell me which black wire goes to what colored wire but I am not getting an answer. Can anyone fill me in. Also, if I start stabbing around blindly trying different combinations, will I ruin someting?
 Christian 3 points
Dont stress. Just connect them in any order. If the motor runs in wrong direction swap any 2 over with eachother. You wont damage anything.
 Santhosh 223 points
you can connect the wires in any order...if the motor spins in opposite direction than desired just interchange the connection of any two wires..
 slpsldnawy 2 points
Thanks guys, I've been RCing for a lot of years (see my video) but I'm new to electric.

Bought this esc and programming card to replace the stock one in my Phoenix 2000 glider. Could not get this to run the outrunner motor in the glider without massive stuttering at anything lower than 50 % throttle. I tried all combinations of timing, acceleration , frequency and none of then stopped the stuttering. All connections were good and no electrical interference. I had also purchased a 30 amp deluxe controller. Ended up using this and it worked perfectly first time on same exact setup. So now I have a nice 45 amp paper weight. Not very happy.

Anybody can use this esc for helicopter. ..used in idle mode?. Here you need slow acceleration (step by step) when you switch to max throttle immediately.. like align esc...which can set to reach highest speed for 10 sec or slower. See "slow start rc heli" videos
 Santhosh 223 points
No this cannot be used for heli as...at low throttle upto about 25% it does not respond or...simply the motor does not run... But even if you set slow acceleration using ESC programming card. it is not highly responsive at low throttle..
Ltomi78  43 points - 3/4/2013
 
I tried to program with radio the soft start of this ESC for 450 heli 2215 typhoon brushless. It star only 1 sec with soft speed than immediately swith highest speed.
Do you have any solution, how to program very slow start for heli?
 tommy2toes 2088 points
put timming to medium and put the jumper on low acceleration should work if your using the card to program i think not sure you can do it through throtle. so there is a low and high aceleration also besides timming .hope this can help
 Ltomi78 43 points
Thanks. what does it mean low acceleration for you. I used the manual of this esc to program. .i want to achieve to give speed step by step when i switch to max throttle. Heli needs slow start up.
 tommy2toes 2088 points
ok you can do this with the transmitter so option 4 in manual is low high acceleration or called on others slow start and option 6 is timming auto medium high.how long it takes to react to cotrols i set mine high but helli set medium on this and low acceleration look under files again just at the right above question theres a manual.
 Ltomi78 43 points
Thanks to try me help. I will try it. But i ve already used manual and set 4. step to "low". Do you think medium timing and low acceleration will provide sstep by step slow acceleration. Now its s reach highest speed within 2sec
 tommy2toes 2088 points
try auto and low thats it or it wont do it use the set you did but you control throtle up slow. i have the card i see no options mybe change switching frequency from 16 to 8 cut timing in half? not sure good luck.
flying plow  17 points - 2/24/2013
 
what if you use a ESC that is larger than necessary? I'm thinking of buying this ESC as a spare,which I may use with a smaller motor like a park 480 or a larger one
 Santhosh 223 points
Nothing will happen...the heat produced on the ESC will be low...Extra is safer than insufficient ESC.

hello, I can not program the esc, the motor is good consecutive beeps when accelerate, since the inverted channel in tx and still have the same problem, I auditioned with the esc of 55A and the same thing happens, only the engine is vibrating, please someone help me?
 Santhosh 223 points
Can you explain more...connect the battery to the ESC with the throttle at high and now the ESC beeps incaing the settings mode and as per the manual set the appropriate settings using the throttle stick.make the throttle low to save a setting.

Also wanted to confirm if it had the correct plug for the OrangeRx6ch as well?? I need to make sure I order everything right so I dont have to wait longer to build my heli. Thanks
 Santhosh 223 points
Comes with the connectors to connect to your receiver but does not come with a battery connector like XT-60.

Can somebody tell me for sure if this comes with the XT-60 plug for the battery? And is it bullet connectors for the motor? Just need to confirm.
 Santhosh 223 points
No connectors for battery - you have to solder your own****es with 3.5mm bullet connector for motor.

will this esc handle with don rcs 6000kv 3s wicked edf?? or the 4800kv on 4s? he said somthing about 6pole motors
 tommy2toes 2088 points
yes it will do fine. my son has two he swares by them and has blown others but we have never had a problem with these they really work great! i highly recomend this one. flys one 80mm over 100mph great response on throtle great programing featurs i love this one. ps we are currently running 4800kv 4s on the dpanther jet by the wing maker company. flys veryvery nice can fly on 10 percent throtle awsome glide.

Will it work with the stock setup as this: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18764__FP
VRaptor_Composite_1600mm_PNF_.html ?
 tommy2toes 2088 points
oh yes very nice! that way you can carry the extra weight and with that i think it is rated up to 4s and i have heard of people using 4s when given the right esc but i am stickin with 3s . like you i upped mine to 40amp/5ampsbec and replaced the servos in my raptor with metel gear servos since many people were breaking there servos on the first flight. i will be using the fatshark and the ark bird. hope its a long summer:) happy flying, tommy

Hi, can be used in T-rex 450? thanks
 Umachines 57 points
Sure. It features a nice super soft start for helis and it also comes with 3.5mm bullet and XT-60 male connectors.
 tommy2toes 2088 points
yes it works perfectly in the t-rex helli
 KELLES 11 points
Yes but i would recomend the Hobby King YEP 45A ESC. it has more features aimed for helis with a super soft start. This is the way to go, this is what has been recomended to me too over the Turnigy TRUST

hi , whats the difference between the SBEC , UBEC and BEC , aren't all the same ? which programming card can be used with this type of ESC thanks
 tommy2toes 2088 points
the cards will be the same but the bec batery elimination circit , add the switching or ultimate the ultimate or ubec is best.
 Santhosh 223 points
SBEC ,UBEC are highly efficent than BEC... so the there will be less power loss in converting the higher voltage to 5V... Choose a SBEC or UBEC ESC for high current consumption servos connected....results in high flying times... check the accessories tab for the programming card.. I bought the programming card but the programming card is a waste.... The programming can be made direclty from Tx...

Hey all...i really like these trust esc´*s..i already use a couple of 55 amp for planes....can anyone tell me if they have used these for a quad set-up and if they are or would be good for this use? thanks in advance...would be using 28-22 or 35-30 turnigy motors.
 Santhosh 223 points
For quads there are special ESC because these ESC have low response and accuracy...but the ESCs designed for quads are high in accuracy and response...better choose a ESC designed specially for quad..

I'm using two of this in a twin. I disconnected the positive wire on the esc that runs in reverse. I have done this on many twins I have. I've always had some jitter on the reverse motor at start up but this set up seems to have more than usual. Did I mess up on this one by disconnecting the positive wire on the esc?
 Mohit 15 points
No. You do need to disconnect the positive (red) wire for on of the motors. Try adjusting the timing on the offending ESC. There should not be any jitter.
 mike_o 54 points
Mike, I assume you omitted (/disconnected) the red wire in the 3-wire connector going to the receiver? The battery power wires must be all connected (in parallel / Y).
wrathe_73  1 points - 12/21/2012
 
let me add that the motor is a turnigy typhoon 2218.
wrathe_73  1 points - 12/21/2012
 
why is mine not letting me program thru my transmitter? i follow the instructions, full throttle, hear three beeps, putt throttle dwn nothing. it wont even spool up for me to test my motor direction.
 Santhosh 223 points
Before powering the ESC , power ON Tx with full throttle.
You will hear three beeps , once you hear it reduce the throttle to lowest and now you hear beeps.
now you have set the range for your throttle.
 mike_o 54 points
As Santhosh says. If it doesn't work, try reversing your throttle channel.

R-Bear  8 points - 12/4/2012
 
Not sure why they have a finned heat sink with plastic over it, as it kind of defeats the purpose of the fins. I cut the plastic off (see pic), as that should in theory drop the operating temp significantly... target=_blank>

I need the photo of this ESC with the parts that it came with....?
Does it come with a 3.5 mm female bullet connector??
Does it come with battery wire with connector (or) battery wire alone (or) none of them ....
 BUCustomParts 13 points
3.5mm bullets for motor connection, no battery connector, just wire you need to soldier your own on.

cant get int programing mode using tx. move throtlle up and then power on the esc, wait 5 seconds or more but no tones. if I move the throttle down the esc beeps and arms. Any idea what thw problem may be?

Expand your throttle renge form your Rx's EPA (end point adjustment) menu. You can also try giving maximum throttle trim.

first you need to bind or reset the tx first then bind then unhook battery then use program manual

With a Turnigy 35-36 1400kv motor, a 10x5e apc prop, and 5000mah 3s lipo the ESC hit 210 degrees F in less than a minute at full throttle! yes, you read that right... 210 degrees Fahrenheit!! In this same span, the motor hit 100 degrees F and the battery barely got to 80 degrees F. It melted the heat shrink right off the ESC. Oh, and there is no "heat sink" as there is shown in the picture. Only a thin metal plate. This ESC might be ok for low-amp usage, but if you even come close to the rated amperage, it will get way too hot and begin to shut down. On the plus side, even with this extreme heat, the ESC hasn't smoked. It still runs.
