MM ESC cogging badly - RC-Monster Forums

LiqrSicc · 08.12.2009, 01:47 AM

I bought the thing used from another forum from a guy claiming it was like new. I received it in bad condition. I'm starting to think he sold it to me that way. I just checked the joints and they look good. The on/off switch is missing but im sure that doesnt matter. The power wire is frayed so that might be the problem. Either way I'll pay the $45 or $50 and ship it back to Castle for a new one and just take it as a loss. Thanks for the ideas though!

Try to resolder the frayed wire. U will need at least a 40W iron for it.

Seems like u have it all sorted out.

maybe the caps are bad. I had that once with a smaller brushless esc, it cogged suddenly, I found out thet the cap had a bad solder.

Are you the guy who got a MM from xyz, or something like that?

Check the caps for melted leads if you can, sounds like that could be a possibility.

Yeah that's me. I just sent it back to Castle with the $45 for a replacement. The caps could have been a possibility though.
