[boatman]

HI GUYS well ive fitted them ESC's but due to how short a red postitive wire is they have turned out very close an if they get hot could cause a massive short out an im not happy with how close they are so im leavin them now till after next wks model show then im pullin them all out an doin a rewire with wire exstentions so they will be further apart but they do all work ok so that something posative an a pic of a complete B*lls up

Chris, I feel for you buddy. One step forward - two back. I wish I could offer some electricery advice but I'd be talking utter tripe!!
Good luck on solving your conundrum!!!!

I'm with Doug on giving elec advice , but you are a tryer Chris. Can't see you ever being defeated . Most would have resigned themselves to having a failure, but not you .

I've said it before Chris but I'll say it again - your skill, motivation and perseverance are truly inspirational! I suspect most of us would have given up long ago and just put her in a case!

Chris, the fans on the ESC's may be sufficient to keep them cool (here's hoping).
You are a real trier mate, don't ever give up, you'll beat it yet.
Looking forward to the pics from the model show.

HI Garry well this is the 6th attempt at tryin to get these motors to run but i dont think i'll chance it regards them fans keepin the ESC cool as how much power is goin through to them big motors is qiute high an its only got to short out on a live wire an im in trouble so they will be comin out to be replaced how they should be TBH im not that happy with myself for fittin them in like this but really this was just a test to see if all the ESC 'S WOULD RUN TOGEATHER an yes they did so now just to get them all in right perstions then ive got to wait 6 months before i can try her

Chris, forgive me if I'm all wrong. You're mentioning the fans and obviously cooling. With the Tigers deck in place, is air getting in below deck to allow the fans to take in cool air and at the same time vent the hot air coming from the ESC's? Seems to me, if things are getting hot then maybe it may be a circulation issue.
As I said, tell me to Foxtrot Oscar, but not knowing or seen in the flesh how it's all constructed, it's just an idea that popped up!!
