Looking to buy EKOS

[Bug777]

Port esc would not reverse. Starboard side will. Plugged motor from port side into starboard esc & it works properly. Plugged starboard engine into port esc & still no reverse. Removed "Y"harness & tried each esc individually. Same result. Sent first esc back to Venom. They said it was fine. I got it back & still the same issue. Venom then sent a new esc to the lhs. We tried it & still the same issues. We tried a different receiver but no difference.

Venom now want the transmitter, receiver & both esc's sent down so that they can see what's going on.

see she turns when you reverse lol whats the problem...just learn to drive you will never use reverse unless your in a pond that 20'X20' lol in that case get a mini...

[Bug777]

I only want reverse so that it can get on & off it's trailer.

[VIKOS]

lol wow really trying to be realistic here huh? lol god speed then..

I got the boat backyesterday from Venom. They fixed the reverse problem which was great. It was to do with the sub trim. When i sent the controller down the throttle sub trim was at -18, when i got it back it is now -12.

The boat is going better now. Here are some pics. Once i get my new batts in a couple of weeks i will post another video.

Will these plugs handle the current?http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/s...10_pairs_(20pc)

I will be placeing my order for the batteries in the next couple of days & want to ge the connectors at the same time.

Yup, 4mm is fine. Stock bullets from motor to esc are 3.5mm.

[forescott]

Depending on what type of batteries you purchase you might need larger bullets. Some batteries have 10 or even 8 gauge wire, which may be too big for those 4mm bullets. Check the battery specs before you get em.

Thanks forescott for your help. I have ordered these today.

Now i just have to wait a couple of weeks for it to get here. I will post pics & thoughts once they arrive.

[forescott]

Nice, I have those same packs as well.

[Bug777]

The new batts arrived today. Now the long soldering night infront of me converting all of the connectors over includine making charging leads.

[Bug777]

I went to fit the packs today & it looks like i have to modify the battery box's a bit to get the cables out otherwise the batts don't sit flat on the floor.

I think we spend more time working on the boats than running them lol.
