My Posts This: Topic Forum | OK guys im having sme motor issues after rebuilding my logo 10. I was suggested a target headspeed of 1800, which made me need to go from a 13t pinion to a 15t. I put on the 15t, rebuilt the helicopter and cleaned all the bearings. the motor was getting hot before but i figured it was the gummed up bearings. Test flight today goes bad ... Im only about 2 minutes in and Im just hovering, looking at the blade tracking and just checking everything out.
All of a sudden I see a little smoke!! ... CRAP, time to land i think, but before my fingers even react to my brain its already smoking good and the motor cuts. Amazingly from about 20' i was able to land her pretty easy. I say amazingly, not for some of yall, but I have to admit... i never practice my autos for real lol. I thought for a second I was going to have to get a fire extinguisher! I risked my neck and reached under the heli and was able to pull the battery.
Im not sure what the ESC im using is but its toast! It was on the heli when I bought it but had no markings or labels. What do you think happened? The motor was pretty hot already too, 15t pinion too big?? Im running a 4s lipo and this test was just the airframe, no camera mount. Is my Hacker C5014L just not big enough? was my ESC too small?? |
