got my electronizes back today. sorted it all and it must be the motor. I can't see it being anything else. Ive swapped ESCs over, its got new radio gear and a receiver pack. Must say the electronize's servicing is brilliant. got them back with £20 out of my £40 back as well!
all sorted! was a dodgy motor! whole thing works like a dream now so just gotta finish it up
for what reason would a nimh battery pack not fully charge?! has been sitting completely discharged for a while. does it just need cycling?
Probably, ive brought a few batteries back to life with a couple of cycle charger. Cant hurt to try anyway :-)
It's strange. Was charging fine a couple of weeks ago. It goes up to 2300mah (out of 4300mah) then just stops?
discharge now then charge again
trying that now. I'm thinking that i should drop the charging amperage to 1 amp rather than 1.5 amps?
Weird question but if one of the battery wires got trapped and squashed whilst charging, would it have any effect?
Yes, you will cause the internet to blow up :rofl:
But seriously, it depends on which wire and whether the battery was shorted. If the battery still charges and discharges fine then chances are that it wouldn't have. If this is the case repair or replace the wire if required. O and learn from the mistake!
Was the positive wire but the plastic coating and shrinking hadn't broke. It literally was trapped between the chassis and armour. I wasn't sure if that would account for the undercharging?
