Zonda Cat 41" from Horracing

I just take the red cable out of the connection, so I can put it back if I need It in a other boat.
But, I got 2x swordfish 200amps plus version.
Why I need a Y plug from the esc's to the receiver? I can't put them into the receiver of traxxas radio link? 2xCh1, ch2, ch3, ch4 and chbatt are there where I can put them in, and I can programm the Chanel's how I want....

Had thinked I put the 2 esc" in channel1(got 2 channel 1 that operating the same) and the servo in channel 3.

So there we are, i got now:

ESC = 2x http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...f-sword-200%2B
and the Receiver that you can see on the Picture$(KGrHqR,!rYE88g6W7ESBPTkLOJ5S!~~60_35.JPG

I taked from one ESC the BEC red cable out, only need 1 bec running.

so, how to connect the esc´s to the receiver? both in ch1? or in ch2 and 3? or a Y Cable to stick them all into one channel?

You need a Y cable to plug both into channel 2.


You only need one receiver for one model. Thats why you need a Y adapter.

I don't find a y plug on ose

Edit: found it :)

So, got now the ESC´s and the Y Plug, installed the software on my pc and connect it with usb, somene use this ESC already and can help me setting it ok? Running each side 1 motor 1 esc 1 batt.

41" Twincat
2x 2075KV 3674 brush-less in-runner
2x 200amps + Esc from Swordfisch
2x 43mm 2 bladed cnc prob
2x 5s 5000mah 50/100C Lipos.

LVC:
Cutoff Voltage/Cell:
Brake Type:
Timing Adance:
Cutoff Type:
Startup Type:
PWM Rate:
(optional) Trottle Range:

Go to your hobby shop and ask for a adjustable Y-plug. This way you can adjust your esc's to get the motors timed together. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...9&d=1344397795

Never heard of it and it somewhat worries me but, if they said it works.....

[ray schrauwen]

What colour is the exterior of your cat, grey or black?

[twissted]

charcoal gray. I plan on using it as a primer. As for the y cable it is used buy the airplane guys so it must work. This is my first duel motor so I will let you know how it works.

[Mecka1990]

i set this on both esc´s:

LVC: 5 Cells
Cutoff Voltage/Cell: 2.8V
Brake Type: no brake
Timing Adance: middle
Cutoff Type: hard cutoff
Startup Type: standart
PWM Rate: 8 Khz
(optional) Trottle Range: coming if i set the throttle on the radio and receivar with failsave.

I found these esc's on line I think they are the same make as fightercat. just a lot cheaper to buy!

You've linnked this to at least 3 different threads here that I know of.
Keep in mind that you are on a site that sells ESCs...spamming their forums with competitors products is at the least disrespectful.

yeah thats not ok, but there are not much factorys that offers such esc´s for that price, ose is one of the best in the usa, i dont think that will be a problem for them :-)

Hello,

I have twin motor Apparition Cat 800mm, use two 2560kv motors on 5S lipo, X447 Octura R/L props, Turnigy 180amp ESC.
You can connect both ESC to the RX with a Y connector, no need to disonnect BEC from the ESC if you do not use separate BEC.
Be sure the stock motors will support 5S lipos, I also read to use 3S max 4S with that motor. Just be aware to start with small props before going to bigger props or you can burn the whole set. With my set up I run max 3 minutes at max 115kms/h but my 5S lipos are low quality 4500mah and 30C.
With my next set 5000mah and 50C will do much better speed and time, 120kms/h.
You can see my Cat and Outrigger videos on OSE.
