    A Little help needed

    Hi guys just putting a question out there as a bit of a noobie and due to no local fast electric clubs in my city

    I just got my slomoshun back up and running but it was not for long

    setup is as follows

    Feiago 540 9L 2887kv motor
    Etti 150A Opto Esc
    Flightmax 4cell 5000mah 30C lipo
    crumbgrabbers hardware fullers
    1732 octura prop

    what happened was i ran my boat nicely for around 5-10 mins then took it out again and i thaught the battery was getting low checked all the hardware inside and all was cool to touch and no burned electrical smell :)

    i then proceeded to try again but the system would not arm (motor sound)
    I have tried everything i know but the system will not arm itself and therefore will not let itself be reprogrammed. I run the receiver on a seperate battery pack and get signal with no problems but i have no motor movement the motor rotates freely the battery still charges nicely and holds it's charge but I have no real way of testing the motor or esc.

    if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

    Cheers

    Hmm
    Spinning 42,727 RPM on a Feiago motor for nearly 10 minutes has gotta produce some heat. Id say you would have demagnetized the motor for sure.
    What were the temps after this run?

    Also your second video is a perfect way to kill your battery! You really dont want to do this

    Check out this part of the forum, you will really benifit from reading a few threads in here. >

      Well Bob I can't add anything to this post, but I would like to thank you for posting the interior picture of your boat!

      I would never have thought to try mounting the esc on its side - I always try to mount them flat! Thanks again!

        I would say it is too low voltage, May not charge. you ran it too long.

        I forgot to make your decals too they will not go out untill wed. Sorry I woke up at 4:30 am messed me all up.
