ESC Failure - What went wrong?
Hi,
I am looking for any explanations why a ESC failed in my F3A trainer model which has resulted in a fried ESC, receiver and servos. I am not sure what happened only that when I connected my main battery to the ESC it started to smoke. This setup has been performing faultlessly for the past 12 months without a hint of any problems. I simply connected as I always do with the same batteries.
Unfortunately the damage went beyond the ESC and it took out all the servos and receiver at the same time. I think I will stick with the opto style of ESC in future to limit the damage should this happen again. Expensive lesson Futaba reciever and digital servos all round.
The ESC was a Hacher X-70-SB-Pro.
Any suggestions for a good quality 6S ESC which can provide a level of isolation between it and the receiver.
Thx in advance
