DuraFly A-1 1100mm (also p-51/f4u/p-47) ESC/BEC

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

Hello! I just got my A-1 1100mm skyraider and while she may not have as much detail as the corsair... I love it! It looks great and I've got everything hooked up. But I was doing some testing while I set my flaps/servo epa/ and so on I found the esc to get very hot. I did not even turn over the motor. This lead me to believe that there are too many servos for the standard bec on this 35amp esc.

My manual states that I should use an UBEC, I'm confused... Is it telling me to avoid using the esc's built in bec? Does this also show in the other durafly manuals?

	Ditch the stock ESC mate. I use that crap 35amp for my glider that draws 20 amp. I replace 2 of my duralfys with the TURNIGY SENTRY 40amp ESC, but looks like they are not available anymore, This one would be its replacement, You get what you pay for :) Been over a year with dozens of flights without a problem with mine. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__12191__TURNIGY_TRUST_45A_SBEC_Brushless_Speed_Controller.html explanation of it the BEC :) http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1222157 Get this program card to go with it, makes for easy adjustments :) http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=2169 Edited by Zutta - 31/May/2012 at 7:34pm
