New featherweight (DMBLBIT)

[JamesDavies]

connected to each other? Yeah, as far as i know thats the only thing powering the rx- no batteries or anything else...

[Max]

Are those 15A electronizes? And what are those motors? They looks quite powerful so could be easily drawing more than 15A so blowing the fuse. They may not have blown yesterday if the gears where not connected as this will add a lot of extra resistance so the current draw will be higher so the fuse will blow. What is the rating of the fuse?

[mrsam]

20a on the fuse from what i can see, might be exactly what Max is saying and the motors are drawing too much current, it might be worth investing in some huger rated esc's.

[JamesDavies]

the fuse blows as soon as the battery is connected. Before the motors even turn.

Fuses are 20A

[JamesDavies]

motors are feather golds and i had one running under load yesterday. Like i say, now I cant get them to run with no load at all.

[JamesDavies]

Should the orange and red wires go to the +ve and -ve of the receiver? Or to each other?
Thanks, James.

[JamesDavies]

Got it working in the end. Just need to fix the wheels on a bit better now........

[Niels - Team K.a.L.M.]

whoahahahaha, I think you might be right . Good speed though.

[mrsam]

Looks great, nice speed and very compact. All i would say is protect the wheels if you can, they're food for an axe or spinner right now. Oh and fix them on properly. .....obviously.

[JamesDavies]

Yeah, planning on having another layer of armour outside the wheels. Need to find out what weight I've got left to play with. There's no size limit on FWs is there?
