hi to all
yestarday i run my new f3a cyclone and cyclon controller for the first time, but i have a big disapoint with this brand , after put the bateries and do the program for the esc i start to acelerate the motor slow, pasing mid trothle all was ok but wen i reach full trhotle the engine stop and teh esc was dead , i look the cyclone brand esc and 4 transistor were blow out , teh esc was a cyclone pilot pro 120amp, i was using 2 bateries in series 5s4p so i have a 10p 5300mha and a pac prop 20x12, i write and e mail to the factory and the y said that i have to wait until sptember to send the esc because the are on holydays, and thats all , my question is that a good customer support ? no info whit tthe engine, no info for the esc , so i don nowk wath to do , i think that is my last time with this company

Sorry to hear of your troubles. September is a long time to wait.

Ah, that's France for you. Mainland Europe closes in August, and that's that [:o]

Rather disappointing about the esc as well.

Hi!
I use the Cyclon F3A too and I had the same problem as yours last month... but my motor runs only 4min :-(

I send back my controler to Electronicmodel and he answered me that the timing I used were 30° and it should be 15°.
can you tell me which timing did you used?


Jérôme... from France... and I agree, Europe stops working in august ;-)

A friend of mine use the Cyclon 160, nearly simular to the F3A. It works well on a Jeti 90Adv ESC on 10S LiPo.

Hi!
The new ESC I got (Pilot 120) works very well.
I had some radiointerferences (HF goes through the wire from the ESC to the battery). So I placed a ring just between the battery and the ESC and the interferences goes away
