Looking to buy EKOS

[scubasteve95]

You might want to consider ordering a few sets of connectors. The ones that come with the lipos wont match up to the stockers anyway. Hobbyking sells ec-5 connectors for only a couple of bucks a set. They are a good upgrade for you're ekos.

HOBBYKING IS OUT OF STOCK

Yes these batteries are great and well priced. I use them often and no problems.

I got the esc back & put it. Still no reverse. I powered up the port motor with other esc & got reverse. Venom are now sending a new one to lhs for friday.

Thanks. I use deans style plugs on all of my stuff anyway. I got a phone call from Venom about the ESC i sent them. They reckon it works fine. I will see when they send it back if it works, other wise i think the motor is playing up. They are also sending up a programming lead for the esc's as well.

Deans will probably work ok for the stock setup. If you upgrade your motors in the future you might want to consider some kind of bullet connector.

I have the 30c versions and they work great!
and I think they are much cheaper

The price jumps quite a bit when batteries exceed 30c. I personally don't buy into the 40,50,60+ C-ratings of some of the new lipos. I think they are too expensive, overrated and in most setups, overkill.

The new esc arrived at the lhs today. I will see if it works tomorrow. I will also try & get some video of the boat getting off & on the trailer over the weekend.

Could you provide a link to the bullet connectors you guys are using?
Looked at some EC5 connectors but they are out of stock.
what about these?
HXT 4mm Gold Connector w/ Protector

[JPriami]

ordered those because i need a plug that i can get a 10awg wire in. they should be fine.

[forescott]

If your packs are from hobbyking.com, then these are the connectors that come with.

[JPriami]

mine didnt come with connectors they are hyperions

[forescott]

ahh ok. The turnigy lipos from hobbyking come with those connectors. I havent used them before but they look like they will work just fine. Any 5mm bullet will handle more current than a traxxas/deans connector.

[JPriami]

I bought the venom universal connector kit last week and got them yesterday. Im not even going to bother using those for these packs. My mistake

[scubasteve95]

there only 4mm but there still
better then deans...you should be fine.

I tried the new esc & it didnot work either. Now Venom want both esc's, transmitter & receiver sent bcak to them. We tried a different receiver & it still only gave me starboard side reverse.

[scubasteve95]

OK....
you plug in both esc's and 1 does not work...correct
unplug esc's and swap them..now does the esc on the side that
didn't work ....work...or the esc now not work on the other side?
if so esc is bad
if not some other issue,you may have already tried this...did not see in posts.
