I have a rcs 180 my problem is I charge the battery for the motor and I take it to the field and get 1 10 to 15 min. flight out of it and it runs great. I land and refuel and go to start the motor and all it will do is run for 3 to 4 sec. then quit. If I take it home and charge the battery it will run just fine next time I take it out but only for 1 flight. I have put 3 different battery's in it. 1 of the batterers was one I had for a couple of years and the other two were new. all of the batterers are the sanyo yellow cell battery's and 1100 to 1800 ma 4.8 volt. also between flights the motor cools for 20 to 30 Min's and dos'e not feel hot when I go to restart it and if I check the battery with a volt meter with a 500ma load the battery checks fine. got any idea's

Hi,

I got a RCS18 and looks like it has the same problem you described, though the quiting problem begins after about 3-4 flights in a row. I've checked the ignition battery (4 cell 1100 mAH sanyo) and did not find any capacity issue.

Just wonder how your problem is solved.

Thanks QC
