HI Guys well im still battlelin this eletricary an for the last two days have wirein up these new 320 amp ESC 'S an its been really hard work tryin to bend the heavy duty wires so i can get them through differnt sizes terminls an to solder them so all good conctions an just finshed them both this evening an now tomorrow will be wire up day an ive figured out how to get all the eletrics to work from just ONE R/X instead of TWO so just got to hope they will all work an some pics of them new ESC 'S all with their terminalls all on phew im pooped so we are now goin out to get some fish an chips yummyComment
-
An how they will look when fixed in as ive changed motors an ESC several times to try an get them to all work correctly an now instead of batt into R/X this will be all BECC

Hope after all this extra work Chris it works according to plan .Comment

Ditto, what JR said.Comment

The Tiger looks great from the outside Chris:thumb2:...ever so close to the finish line. Sorry to hear she has tummy problems...
I can see the mixing of different noodles can give indigestion but with the new ESC medication I think will solve the extra build up of gas...
The four diesels look good...looks like one multi-colored hairy compartment there Chris.. Fingers crossed all goes well.
Cheers,

YES John really hope things go ok as im gettin desperate an its peenin me off now as this eletricaiery is so fuzzy an these new ESC have no screw terminals to alter the neutrel an speed controll like the older ESC so if they dont go then there is nothing i can do an to top it these new ESC came with no intruckions an the makers have just fitted red an black wires AS BY RIGHTS it should be red for +
an black for negative an then the motor feed wires should be yellow an blue but how they have wired it all up its pot luck if i get it right an dont blow up the ESC so i fitted in the circut a very low amp fuse so if its wrong wire to + then the fuse should blow an not damage the ESC an so far by studying the wirein from the ESC IM RIGHT an they go ok but its been nerve wrackin in case it all goes up in smoke as crazy no instructions Aaaaaaaaccccchhhhhhh SO see how i get on when wirein them up today an if things dont go right you will hear my swearin from here lol will let you all know how things go or NOT as the case maybe
ATB TO YOU BOTH chris an jenComment

Sorry Chris, I missed the shift to the "completed ships" and had to catch up.
That problem with ESC with the ensuing "ejection" had to be really shocking.
Looking forward to see her sailing proudly and you proudly at her helm.Comment

Chris,
Fingers crossed you have resolved the issues.Comment

HI Andy so am i but still working on the eletrics as i think ive found out my main problem an that was a heavy duty red main live wire was faulty an only lettin partial power through to THE ESC'S an this was affecting both ESC 'S WHICH is crazy as the other one had a good live wire but it affected everything Aaaaaaaaccchhh an just lookin at the wire it looks ok so im now goin up to model room to continue to do battle with all the wires but im makin headway im pleased to say
cheers for lookin in will let you all know if im succssefull

AN HI Scottie im about to find out an if i have then ive got to go to the front section then an alter some of the wires in there to ACCEPT this BECC system but i think it will be another few days till this is all sorted as i know what to do but its just DOIN it as tryin to relay the wires from the wrong ones to the right ones will be a trail just as well the ole mojo i keepin me goin but i think im goin into my resevered lol
