Hi all,
Firstly im new to this forum so big hello to all :thumbsup:
I thought id jump straight into an issue im having with my SCRT10 setup, the problem is as follows. .....
When i hit the power and the servo is in use the fail safe on rx kicks in and it goes limp for 2-3 seconds then resets itself.
My current setup:
-ESC- Castle Mamba Max Pro - 6V BEC, wide throttle deadband, auto 3.1V lipo cutoff rest is factory for the purpose of testing.
-Servo- Savox 1256tg also tried Traxxas 2075 (with same result)
-Lipo- 5600 50C
-Motor- Tekin SC4X 4.5T
-Rx/Tx- Core RC 2.4Ghz 3Ch
I have a feeling its something to do with power drain, I have fitted a power cap on the rx which helps alot but doesnt cure the issue 100% (does this mean i need a bigger one?) I get the same problem with both the savox and traxxas servos installed
also ive noticed the amber LED flashing at a constant rate when the car is switched on and talking to the tx ........ is that normal or is it pointing to a fault with the ESC ..... the castle website didn't appear to shed much light on the topic.
Any way sorry for the hectic post, its just im pulling my hair out trying to figure out what's wrong with the setup :cry:
Many Thanks in advance
