Need help with Etti 150

[Philmunsterman]

Hey Guys, I have a DF 29 with a 8XL that I'm trying to run on 4S 2P with a x440 prop. I have the program info and I think I have it set up right. But as soon as I start to throtle up it cuts out, I can only run at about 1/4 throtle. If I change the lipo mode to 2S and use 2S 1p it runs great ( but slow ). Does anyone know enough about the programing to walk me through it. What could I be doing wrong ? If anyone has any ideas please give me a call 314-258-5436. I would love to get it right tonight, I'm going to the lake tomorrow!! Thanks Phil

Go to the bottom of this page and see if it helps you. Anyone owning an etti should watch this.

A customer of mine did this great video. I asked him permission to use it, he said I could, so here goes.

If the Etti has an "Auto Lipo" selection, use it. Let it decide how many cells you have. I know with the Seaking 180 that seems to be the solution to the exact same problem you are having.

The Etti has no Auto Detect all settings have to be manually programmed. I have been trying to help Phil with this issue. I already instructed him to watch the programming video and believe it helped. With the Etti set to 4s cutoff he said he gets about 1/8 throttle then it cuts out. When he re-programmed the ESC to 2s runs 2s2p it works. I would try to run the packs in series to get 4s but leave the ESC in 2s lipo cutoff mode to see if it will run or if it will cut out when you give it full throttle. Just don't run your boat more than a couple straight runs.

Tracy, I'll give that a try. Phil

If all else fails give Dee an email.

ALMOST SOUND LIKE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE UNDER LOAD AND TRIPING THE 4S CUTOFF VOLTAGE. Try different packs?

[Philmunsterman]

Well I tried again and no luck. The packs are good and taking a full charge. Trying the 2s setting with 4s did the same thing. I might just try another esc. Any other ideas are welcome ???

Thanks Tracy, I sent him an email. Maybe he wil have a few ideas. I checked a few local hobbie shops and no luck finding another esc to swap into it.

Send it back to me and I will ship you the HiModel 200a 4s-8s if you would like? In the meantime if I get your Etti to work I can contact you and we can go from there? LMK
