  • Confused about ESC

    Guys,

    Just following on from this thread:

    http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/main-d...w-70a-esc.html

    I had an align 70A ESC (Stock with 500 EFL pro) that was on the heli when the original 500MX Motor siezed in flight.

    The ESC doesnt smell or act funny; Apart from it seems to be down on power.

    Trillian very kindly lent me her Turnigy 85 amp ESC which I put in the heli, and it goes like brown stuff off the proverbial... I've never seen it with so much power! So I took it off, put the old 70A back on and again, it seems a little down on power, and the tail blows out 180 degrees on climb outs.

    I figure my ESC must be toast, but I would have thought an ESC would either be broken, or work just fine no?

    Im confused! I figure I need a new ESC but im just checking nobody else here has any pearls of wisdom....
    NONE OF THE BELOW HELI'S ARE OWNED BY ME ANY MORE

    If it down on power, IMO would say that's early signs of esc on the way. Your not using gov mod I hope as it rubbish on align esc? I suspect after tryin another change it.
