RE: GWS E-Starter... motor/esc/rcvr Questions

I have to agree with you about the gws directions overall.

Though they "do the job".. they DO leave out alot of basic information that could make the build ALOT easier for the "first-time...

RE: GWS E-Starter... motor/esc/rcvr Questions

Actually.. we weren't on the topic of slowsticks. We're talking about E-starters. Both made by GWS though. As for looking for an RTF SlowStick setup... try looking around here, in the classifieds...

RE: GWS E-Starter... motor/esc/rcvr Questions

RE: ESC + Receiver + Controller setup help

If you mean the motor wires that are connected to your ESC being one color.... that's no big deal. The only thing switching those wires will do, is reverse the spin direction of your motors. Best...

RE: Hobbyzone Super Cub Landing strip

The SuperCub is a great plane. And you can upgrade to a brushless motor later on as well, and many other add-on's also. As for the runway... the biggest concern to focus on, is how big of an area you...

RE: GWS E-Starter... motor/esc/rcvr Questions

Well, I test started it with the C-20 ESC, and everything works just fine. I ran the motor for a good minute straight, and the ESC wasn't even warm to the touch. I don't plan on letting the battery...

RE: GWS E-Starter... motor/esc/rcvr Questions
