i just picked up a used pnp version but my futaba 7uap super doesnt want to to power the throttle the guy said the esc was good, is there any setting i might be missing the esc never beeps past the first beep and 3 beeps to enter program mode ,like its not seeing the throttle postion ?? the rec. is a 1024 pcm , i am also running a 9cell. nimh batt.(p51) for now b/c i dont have a lipo charger yet

After much testing I found that my styker's esc and my pcm futaba R146iP rx would not work togeather. I ended up changing the esc since I wanted to use my R146ip rx. I talked to Futaba about it and E-flite and noboby had a answer for me.

Yup, I've seen the same thing happen. Something is not compatible with that set up.

thats not a good start for me Bob !!

wich would be cheaper a new esc or rx

esc

darkseacret,

If I were you I wouldn't change that receiver unless I was going to 2.4GHz.

Your motor is capable of a lot more power, BUT your battery and ESC are the bottle necks holding you back.

So If I were you I would change the ESC instead of the receiver.

Power upgrade note: Change the stock prop to APC E 6X5.5 $2.13 and keep your eye on the battery temp depending on outside temperatures in your area. That will increase your level flight (no wind) speed to a solid 72MPH if not a little more. F-27C owners have reported success with this prop as a first upgrade. It’ll work with stock ESC and battery.

Have fun,
Gryphon
