HI
I just bought a T-rex 450SE which comes with the Motor and 35 amp Speed control.
Today I had the heli hovering perfect with not problems,then all of a sudden the motor died and
then heli dropped like a rock. I thought that maybe the battery was low so thats why the motor stopped
as I was aproaching the heli and I noticed some smoke, Then the flame's came I was lucky enough to pull
off the canopy and pull the speed control off. THE SPEED CONTROL WAS COOKED TO A BLACK CRISP.
I have black sut all over the front of my Heli but other then that just my speed control and canopy is
cooked.
Has anybody had this happen to them?
At first I thought it was my Battery,but my battery was fine with no damage at all.
I'm very meticulas when I assemble my Planes,and Heli's so there is no question with reguards to
a short from loose connectors,exposed wires. It was flying perfect.
I'm using a Thunder Power Prolite 2100mah Bat.
Any suggestion about weather I should try to contact Align or should I go back to my Hobby Shop where I
purchased my T-rex?
I'll post some pics later
Anybody have a website address for Align ??
Thanks for reading
