Brocken receiver

[blazerbotics]

Have you actually powered it up?

[Max]

I wired them up to the motors and receiver and plugged in the batteries but I was unable to control the motors and the receiver sparked and smelt of burning and got hot so I unplugged the batteries

[harry hills]

did you plug them in the right way round?

Wire up the controllers to the receiver with just the yellow signal wires and the black.. NO red ... and a seperate receiver battery.

I think I plugged the batteries the right way round, I will have to check on Thursday as I left it at school. I will also bring in a receiver battery and try just plugging one in and see if that works

[harry hills]

did you plug the things the right way up in the rx?

[blazerbotics]

If your speedos don't have BECs i cant see how you can have blown the RX, unless something has been wired very wrong, even the power to the speedos will only blow them and not the RX.

[Max]

The rx is fine, just smells of burning. I've got the FR30HX so I don't think it has a bec. I will have to test. Maybe the becs have blown in the electronizes if they have one.

I am 95% sure the 30a model doesn't have a BEC.

I did more tests, I used a rx battery and everything kind of worked. But tue rx and the wires going to the rx from the electronizers. I tried removing the red wires but then the motors wouldnt turn. I am not sure if the receiver is the problem or there is a problem else where which affects the receiever. Towards the end of my tests one of the channels stoppe working properly and then stopped all together and the other channel also went odd.
The electronizers made a clicking sound when the motors turned, is this normal?
