Where Do I plug the ESC - T-Rex 500 dfc

[z0m8i3]

Hi Guys, I was just wondering which channel do I plug the 3pin ESC wire into?

Hi

What flybarless unit is it? And are you using sats or a separate receiver?

Edit I have just seen what category this is under. D'oh!

Hey Rich, Long time no chat mate . Its the iKON Brain, with sats (I traded the 3gx in for it)

Hi yes long time no chat. Hope your well and all is good. Have you managed a flight yet with the 500? And as soon as I asked the questions I realised it was in the Brain forum.

I think with this unit it has its own setup wizard which you download from the website. Does it not cover the channel assignments in that?

Yeah I've had a few flights with it but didn't like the 3GX much as it was too much hassle setting up. In the setup wizard it says to connect the battery(which I'm assuming is the ESC) to channel 2 or 3 but on channel 1 it says throttle which I thought was for the ESC-Battery?

I'm assuming your using the Align 70a ESC still so I would assume you connect the ESC to the throttle channel and use the on board BEC to power the Brain.

Power through throttle - HeliFreak this thread confirms you can use the thro/channel 1 to supply power to the Brain

Just remove the blades and if you can disconnect the pinion from the main gear first.

Hope this helps

Thanks Rich, Yes I'm still using the stock ESC on the 500. I've disconnected the motor from ESC, this should be ok yeah?, just double checking everything just to be sure!

[Rich23]

No worries and that should be fine to stop the motor from spooling up.

Enjoy
