TURNIGY Plush 10amp 9gram Speed Controller

 Santhosh 228 points

You need 3.5mm bullet connectors.. PRODUCT ID: AM1001A

 Superelectric 261 points

if you plannig to use with 3S i reccomend to change to a turnigy plush 12A 10A ESC will be very hot on 3S..yes 3.5mm connectors

 Santhosh 228 points

I think the battery will be heavy for this QUAD with this motor...better go for 2200 or even less battery...but it will work..

 Superelectric 261 points

esc to smal for motor and 3S battery go turnigy plush 12A..tattery to heavy

 r_g_r 1140 points

Yes it will work, no problem.

 Andy_NM 87 points

If you are talking about a little motor like the Turnigy T2211-2300 it will be fine for it. Without the full numbers/brand on your 2208 it's hard for me to tell.

 Tony 86 points

Andy thanks for the reply. The motors are off a storm Quad from Helipal.... all I can find on these motors are that they are as below. The only markings on the motors are M2208 & under that is 3S. STORM Drone FF Specification : Dimension : 490mm x 490mm x 140mm Motor to Motor : 450mm Rotor Size : 9" X 4.7" (Clockwise and Counter Clockwise) Take-off weight : 850g (Max safety 1350g) Motor : 2208 Brushless Motor ESC : 10A with BEC Battery : 11.1V 2200mah 20C (8-12 minutes flight time) Gyro: FF Gyro (FF version is for stability, KK version is crazy fast) Hope that helps & as you can see I chose these 10ampers as the storm used 10amps units.

 Andy_NM 87 points

yea that should work just fine for you.Be sure to use the Turnigy plush programming card to make it easier to set those ESC also. PRODUCT ID: TR_PC and thanks for credit too

 Tony 86 points

I have thr TGY program card as I am also running TGY 18amps with my KK2.0 board & that unit is worth every cent.. Did you find some specs on the M2208 motor or did you just go off the info as I can not find details on these motots. Thanks again.

 Andy_NM 87 points

Tony, based on your description of the size of the motor and the prop, the one number is the diameter and the second is the depth (per se) of the motor. That's what i used with some common sense and experience with similar motors. For an absolute answer you can get a watt meter for about $40.00 that answers all your questions for this and many more to come. I have my eye on Watt Meter PRODUCT ID: WU100-B for myself. I know I need one. If I'm reading that correctly, that is the total amps for all 4 ESC together the way that board works. That would mean your individual ESC's are a little over 4amps way safe and cool temperature. Making the 10 an Escellent choice. Not acctually having seen the setup, from what you have told me, I think you have a great arrangement with plenty of capacity to spare. Capacity to spare equals cool electronics and fewer repairs. Have fun I hope it flys GREAT!

 Tony 86 points

Thank you for your reply. My new QC is based on my storm QC as now I have 3 of them all with storm motors, frame and battery as I didnt want to re-invent the wheel trying to match motors to escs to batteries plus all my parts are interchangable from 1 supplier. so with this QC I am running the multiwii Pro board and it recommends in the sketch that you can run a TGY 10amp (thats why I chose them) but they looked rater small so I thought I would ask rather than wishing I had have asked. Thanks again.

 RonRC 2007 points

Tony, I used 4 of these on my carbon quad for my UFO. They are powering 4 - FC 28-05 2840kv motors. Plenty of power and was the original driveline for my UFO. I liked the quad by itself better and built a permanent frame for the UFO.

 Ryan 112 points

this esc requires the turnigy plush programming card here is a link : www.link

 Andy_NM 87 points

It needs the Turnigy programming card, do a product search for PRODUCT ID: TR_PC to pull it up, it is available at various warehouses. Have fun.

It seems not esc problem, i was try another one but have same situation:( I have only 70-80g trust on 1811-2000 at maximum thoutle up. I was try another timing options and there is no result. Maybe something with transmitter?

 Vadek 3 points

p.s i use 2s 460mah li-po and 5x3 gws prop

 Vadek 3 points

I figured. I mount prop wrong side :D . Nice motor!!! my HK BONSAI wing sream :D

 Andy_NM 87 points

Tako, the motor has 3 wires going to it, changing any 2 of them will reverse the motor. If only 2 wires work the motor will stutter or just chatter and not rotate. This sounds like your problem. Good luck.

 Tako 2 points

Thanks Andy - But will this also prevent all sounds - like the self check and cell count beeps?? I cannot even get it into programme mode by setting throttle at 100% when connecting power.

 Tako 2 points

Changed out motor with new to make sure, and still exactly the same. Definitely have good battery connections and motor connection, and no life other than the shudder...sounds busted to me (brand new out the box)

 Tako 2 points

Oops - my bad. Had another go and resoldered the motor connections to be doubly sure and.......beep beep all good. Dry solder joints I suspect. And for those out there who are wondering - no they dont beep when the motor connections are bad!

 Andy_NM 87 points

Does it beep properly when you turn it on, 2 for a 2 cell battery and 3 times for a 3 cell. I suspect there is a broken wire at the motor causing the ESC to be trying to run the motor on 2 wires instead of the required, 3. Try it with another motor and see what happens. If that doesn't work then the ESC is probably fried and time for a new one.

 Dongskie 228 points

Hi Andy_NM, I tried the same motor using another ESC and it was the same, I guess that isolates the motor as the problem, although I have not tried the ESC on another motor. Thanks man!

 Dongskie 228 points

Hi Andy_NM, it was the motor that is the problem, i inspected the wires near the coils and found one strand broke lose from the solder. Case Solved! Motor, not ESC problem.

 jakobø 71 points

Yes you can either program it with your transmitter or an turnigy besc program card. Thats what i do.

 jakobø 71 points

If you credit the best answer. You help make it worth while taking time to answer questions

 jakobø 71 points

did you check your connections? did you check that your reciever is working? if the reciever is working and there are no lose connections it sounds like a brokken esc.

 jakobø 71 points

you can either program using the turnigy besc programing card, or with your transmitter

 donaldsnephew 152 points

Yes, I use two Turnigy Plus 10A with BL heli code (works only with the newer ones with Silab ESC, very old Turnigy Plush have Atmel).

 styli 30 points

There is not a SimonK Controller, i mean the Rate is 50 Hz

 r_g_r 1140 points

It comes without any connectors

 TechnoFinder 126 points

connectors does not come with this esc but you can solder 2 mm connectors

 hwagener 243 points

There are no connecttors included. Connectors to motor are included mostly with motors, connectors to battery depends on your battery-connections-system, so you have to buy it your own. HK can not know what system you are using.

 Julian 1 points

no connecters shipped. but if you know how to solder you can easily solder some 2mm Gold connectors

 David 23 points

How many IDIOTS does it take to screw in a "no connectors" response? GEEZ, get a LIFE!

 Habner 18 points

What about the signal connector?????

 TechnoFinder 126 points

you mean forward /reverse ?

 Arturo 1 points

Yes of course. is it possible driving with a routine program, or I need add hardware for change phases?

 David 23 points

NO, not doable. That's known as a SERVO!

 TechnoFinder 126 points

what's your application? plane ? if so does not need anything to be changed

 Louis 32 points

It's a skyangel F86 sabre, I want to go to 3S.?

 Sebastian 22 points

It should be fine straight out of the box. It is nice though to have the BESC programming card for the Plush escs. It's super easy to use and allows you to adjust settings to best suit your purpose, or just to check what the factory settings are for reference purposes.

 ijaz bahtti 1713 points

yes surely and greatly

Preis leistung ein Hammer!

 HELLGENERAL 12 points

probably

 Levi 7 points

If theyre rated for different amps, than most likely yes. If you opened them up you could probably tell for sure though.

 Craftee 9 points

yes there is a difference.

 Bob4432 32 points

These new Turnigy have the Silicon Labs chip in them and not the Atmel8, so if you wanted to flash the firmware w/ SimonK third party ESC firmware (more linear throttle response, other nice options only a custom firmware can give you) you are out of luck.

 robar 15 points

I had the same problem with Turnigy Plush 6A and AX 1306N motor.Than I tested 2 motors and 2 ESC and finaly realized that one motor is failing.

 Frisco 210 points

The problem with stuttering motor start often is caused by bad connectors between ESC and motor. Did you check the contacts? Perhaps it may help to bend the small contact springs to improve the connection... regards, Henning

 miguel 5 points

you may try with a lower timming, if not, you should check the conectors and wires (they may be broken/bad welded)

 HELLGENERAL 12 points

sounds like your motor is bad. usually if a wire is kinked it will do this to your motor

 roberted5 104 points

You need both to fly a reciever and ESC.The Orange seem to have the least problems.
This only has a 1amp/BEC so using it with DSM2,I'd advise against it.The specs above say 2amp/BEC but the new version 4 now only has a 1amp/BEC rating.
DSM2's recievers are well know for low-voltage brown-outs.To prevent brown-outs try to use an ESC with at least a 2amp/BEC rating.

 veloci 78 points

this is a esc and not a receiver a esc is used to control the motor and the receiver is used to control the esc and servo

 apper01 4 points

does this work with thel BLHeli code for the MCPX?

 Cid156 378 points

As it will ne a silab chips instead of teh amtel can we still use your programming card ??

 roberted5 104 points

Yes,you can still use the programming card as before.

 veloci 78 points

compatible whith the card

 George 3 points

On my controller BEC heat much and overheat the controller as result the termal protection limit the current to 4A.

 Colin100 16 points

Mine is working well, and they were rated well when I did my research. As with any controller, stay within it's ratings to extend it's life.
- Us in systems that will draw up to 80pcnt of max, so 8 amps or less.
- BEC has to dissipate more power/heat when used with higher voltages - so if you are running 3 or 4s, you will not be able to run as many servos as someone running 2s.
- Provide for some cooling air. Remember these heat up less when run at full throttle (less switching = less heat.)

 quadslo 21 points

No problems with this one. I have ten of those and they are working without any problems.

 distractor 106 points

It bears the Plush branding so you know it's as good as any other Plush ESC. Never had one fail.

 cocopl 52 points

Its a manual www.link

 wim verleyen 70 points

The method using the transmitter is a bit complicated and takes time. You can find a programming card on this site: article "TR_PC". Cheap, VERY easy in use and VERY quick programming of your ESC and other Turnigy's, ...

 roberted5 104 points

The ESC comes with a complete set of instructions.

 Pherix 8 points

No you don`t.

 HELLGENERAL 12 points

no you cannot combine them to make it a 20 amp.

 swass rc dawg 50 points

no never do that only 10amp each!!!!!!!
one esc one motor

 kartman69 47 points

absolutly NO.With brushless controlers you generate current waves going alternatively on every coils of the motor. That give the speed control of the motor. Two controlers can never generate those waves exactly at the same time (microseconds)

 Christoph 7 points

No, it´s like drilling a 8mm hole with two 4mm drill bits

Tout a fait Thierry ! But actually back order *-( Regards

 roberted5 104 points

PRODUCT ID: TR_PC is the card you want.Put PRODUCT ID: TR_PC in the search and the card will come up.

 Antons 116 points

It has standard plug that fits any brand of receivers: Futaba, JR, Hitec, Spectrum(standard size, not micro JST ones). I think they are modelled on JR plugs. To reassure you - they will fit into any normal receiver.

 Lukash 59 points

Yes, it does.

 approx 155 points

Futaba

 Firepower 45 points

Yes - It does.

 Majster 74 points

Yes, it has standard JR plug

 fury95 71 points

You can connect it with Futaba/Jr/Hitec and much more.

 Marc 57 points

It plugs in my Futaba & Assan RX.

 Nacce 42 points

Hi Yes it have- BR, *MG

 Foam builder 29 points

Yes this ESC has a compatible plug for futaba and $pektrum receivers. I am flying about ten of them with both brands of radio , and they are doing great.

 BENJAS 67 points

NO BIENEN SIN CONECTORES

 Nacce 42 points

Yes it have!

 ankurgr8 11 points

i have ordered one will tell you when i get it.. but it must be including one as every[almost] esc does contain it

 Jester80 8 points

connector to plug into Rx is HITEC

 loquito 2 points

i understand that the esc has a standard plug to go into the reciever.So it should plug right into this reciever? Turnigy 9X 2.4GHz 8Ch Receiver (V2) I want to know what kind of plug it has for attaching to the battery, the battery i am looking at this battery Turnigy 500mAh 2S 20C Lipo Pack will everything hook right up?

 Jester80 8 points

ESC is a non connector for connection to the battery and motor (the only connector for RX)

 Antons 116 points

This ESC has bare wires for both motor and batery. You have to provide your own conectors and solder them yourself! Again, for both motor and battery! I prefer to desolder motor wires from this controller and solder motor wires directly to ESC.

 Stephen 5 points

Yes, it is a universal.

 Brenda 11 points

yes this esc should plug into futaba hitec or $pektrum reciver no problem.

 ZekeVal 16 points

I use 2mm www.link

 Pawel 92 points

The easiest and the lightest way is to solder cables. On battery side I use JST plugs, available here. They take 8-10Amps easily.

 Lukash 59 points

Between ESC and motor is always the best to solder...
I do not know, where you found out, that JST are rated only to 3A. If they really are, then they could handle a lot more. Mine do handle 7A constantly.

 dutchspider9 26 points

i use 2mm goldplugs, works perfect!

 Antons 116 points

I fly all my indoor foamies, including those mean 3D ones with 12A draw with custom soldered lipos for couple of years now using typical servo plugs and pin arrays as batt/esc connection - no issues at all. Some tell a lot of BS about heating, losses etc, I just fly them hard... :D So, I guess anything will do. The question is how "purist" you are. Here on HK in Wire/plug section are some good two pole prewired www.link For the motor/esc - I just solder motor wires directly to ESC. I mean, if you dislike the 3,5mm bullets for being heavy - just ditch them! and wires from the esc too, if motor is close enough.

 helicopke 110 points

2 mm gold plug will do fine, or mini T plug (I still had some left) not sure about the very small 0.8 mm gold plugg also available here at HC.

 fury95 71 points

You can connect esc and motor without plugs, at the batteryside you can use JST plugs.

 Horacio 59 points

I used 2mm bullet connectors.

 mardi.mardigras 19 points

Hi i use 2mm Gold Connectors for the motor and the jst for the lipos. So far so good.

 Nacce 42 points

How about 2,5mm ??

 SLOW STIK 53 points

I use enamel coated wire and solder straight from the ESC board to the motor.. Very good setup and guarantees good clean current to the motor and no connectors to lose connection .. Its a bit overkill but I like doing it this way !! Stranded wire has too much resistance for these small motors..

 David 23 points

Hmm, that might be a good idea actually!
