RE: Himax power combo HC3514-2900 for Funjet ultra
The ESC cooks is the first 30 seconds while bench testing. The battery is large but I can't even get flight time to create any heat before is self destructs. I lay the battery on its side to allow air flow. I have added an air scoop above the esc and another in the back by the motor. Wish I could get it into the air. I was thinking a larger amp ESC but it should run with what was supplied in the package. Makes a crazy noise just before it self destructs. When I talked to MAX they said that the esc can't keep up with the RPM on the motor and that I should set up the esc with PWM at 16KKhz. Tried the 16Khz yesterday and another blown ESC. Thanks for the info at least I know that the system has the ability to work correctly. I wouldn't think that I bought two of these and they are both bad from the factory.
