Hello again Guys
well been busy for the last two day wireing up them 4 ESC 's more eletrics for the 6th attempt phew an its been a Bu*ger tryin to bend this heavy duty wire hurts my fingers it has an tryin to solder all the terminals on WHEW BUT here now ive done it to wire them up firstly on a 5inch sqaure bit of wood as thats all the space i have in tiger now ive just got to hope they will all run togeather Aaaaaaaccchhhhh

[boatman]

AN here the 4 ESC 'S with their 4 way fuse box fitted with 4 x 20 amp fuses as these will power just one motor each an hopefully there wont be to much power goin through the system 's but i'll find out on the bread board phew

[Ian M]

Looks very tidy work. Did you try one motor/esc at a time to check the power...?

YES Ian an each one ran great an no 20 amp fuse blow but i havnt got water load from the props yet so wont get an accrute power reading will i but just got to try it an see an i have today wired up all 4 ESC with one motor on each ESC an they all ran very good so heres hopein that things are lookin up but im still goin to lower the power to 80% usein daul rates on the throttle in my T/X so hopefully light at end of tunnel
but cant try her till nxt yr so a little wait
