Re: Power drain? two servos and esc.

Looking on the net at wiring for the regulator there are various caps used, is it important to get the correct ratings or can I just match them if they are within certain specs?

Re: Power drain? two servos and esc.

Thanks Pete that's brilliant. Do you know off hand of a part number for a suitable regulator? It will save me time as I`d like to have it fixed for Burgess Hill

Re: Power drain? two servos and esc.

Thanks, I`ve got about 30g to play with so well within the scope of a bigger battery. I`ve also asked at Dimension Engineering (the Sabretooth makers) and they have suggested if I don`t use the bec on the board I will need to disconnect the supply to the rx but how do I do that?

Re: AWS44 - Brize Norton, Oxfordshire

The walker entries for Ant ratchet & Ant Clank are wrong, John jnr tried to sign up and got something wrong but we can't edit it. They just need deleting, the correct ones have been entered now.

Re: Two servos together

In both Ant Clank and Ant Ratchet I`ve got big servos running with no problems at all so I don`t think its a power issue, I didn`t mention that I`m trying to make one go one way and one go the other so it could be that, I`m going to try both the same direction and see what happens, if that is the an...
