Default RE: ESCs Stopping without notice

stmjxxi,

Only one ESC stops at a time. It can be either one. No pattern except that one will stop within a couple on minutes.

The transmitter stick I am currently using has a ratchet and is not one that comes back to neutral. This setup was for testing. Where ever the stick sits when I turn on the transmitter and receiver becomes the neutral point. Max forward forward and reverse are then based on the travel to each limit. This is autoset by each ESC.

I noticed during one test run that the ESCs lost their neutral point relative to each other and one would be going forward when the other was at neutral, and at one time one was going in reverse compared to the other forward. On the main stick I would hope that the neutral zone is a bit larger.

Anyway this is a different issue from the main problem. I will fit suppressors to each motor and give the system another try, but based on what I am reading from Umi, this may not solve the problem.

Regards
