Inteference help? - RC-Monster Forums

Nick · **Inteference help? -** 11.05.2005, 06:05 AM

My Brushless ran fine but when I made an ESC mount and moved the reciever to the other side I get really bad problems.

It has no stearing and no power control, all it does is really quick bursts on it's own (which makes me think its inteference) but why would that mean no steering?

All the plugs are in the right channels, I have tried removing the motor mount and putting everything back to how it was before. Also tried re-programming the 9920.

The UBEC is connected properly. I can't understand what it is?

Thanks,
Nick.

(7XL + 9920 + UBEC)

See if the antenna wire isn't damaged in any way. Also check all the 3 wire connector's going into the receiver and make sure there arn't any bend plug's in the receiver itself.

Also make sure the servo work's by testing it on another receiver or without the esc connected. Same thing for the receiver. As weird as it is they *might* be busted.

Place back the esc where it was.

It could be interference.

Guess that didn't help?

My bad.

I am a bad reader at this moment, try a loose receiver pack. The servo might take more power than the esc.

Tested the Maxx Servo on another reciever and powerpack from one of my other R/Cs and it worked. So it is most likely the reciever in my Maxx that isn't working - which I am testing now.

Right, I've swapped recievers.

The servo moves for about 3 seconds, then stops, I can't do anything and hear a real highpitch noise coming from the servo (I think, or ESC) so why does it work fine with the powerpack but not UBEC? Why does it stop everything from working?

Nick · 11.05.2005, 08:05 AM

Yup, tested, UBEC doesn't work. Stops everything from working. Have to use a powerpack for now.

What a golden tip it was...

:p

Still weird that the esc gave burst's tho.

Only explination would be I got the channels mixed up so instead of turning it accels', but I'm very sure I didn't.

Good to have it working though, not to botherd about using a battery pack instead of UBEC so no loss.

did you have the ubec mounted directly to something metal? I did this and my ubec shorted out at one of the soldering points on it. Had about the same problem. After words my ubec got real hot.

Nick · 11.05.2005, 10:18 AM

I had it placed on the reciever, all the connections were well fastened on to a + & -.

No, Sneeck, that esc is being fed with the power from the ubec.

An esc takes some energy as well.

You had an UBEC go bad? No visible damages?
Can you hook it to some batts and measure the volage on the output?
