My AXN motor pulses after a few minutes of flight. The pulsing doesn't seems to be specific to the speed I am going. The AXN and ESC are new and bought already assembled together. It didn't happen right out of the box but only after a few flights. I don't think I changed any of the AE-25A ESC settings but maybe I did. What is the fix for this? Should I just return the ESC to the factory default settings? I and running a 3 cell Lipo 1.8 if that matters. Link to battery is http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewIte
m.asp?idProduct=11908 I
also checked the ESC and it is not hot. I tried four different batteries as well to make sure that the batteries were not defective Any help would be appreciated

How to set up factory default settings?
 theflyiniowan 26 points
The default settings should already be set...
 Vladislav123 1 points
I have a problem... After I have flew about 5 times whith this speed controller, it does not work correctly. My engine accelerates very slowly when I turn on even on the max revs. And sometimes it does not work at all. But after it had reached normal (for this position of the handle)it bedins to wark normaly. Here is a video.

 theflyiniowan 26 points
Vladislav123 , when a speed controll is acceleration very slowly like that it is usually because it is in helicopter mode which has a govenor that controls the acceleration and rpms even when full throttle is applied. I dont know what would cause it to not spool up at all like it is doing to you on the second attempt in the video but first try resetting the programing on your speed control back to normal airplane mode and see if that fixes that problem. if you need help with that let me know.
 Vladislav123 1 points
So, how to reset speed controller back to normal airplane mode?
 theflyiniowan 26 points
ok if you view this product, scroll down and look under the files tab and it has the instructions listed for this speed control. It explains how to program the esc with your radio. Most escs have this function. to sum it all up though you basicall enter programing mode in you esc by leaving your throttle stick in the high position when you power on your esc, it will then emit a series of tones for each setting in your speed control. These tones should be listed in the instructions. When your hear the desired tone fore your selection you will then move the throttle stick back to the middle or low position depending on your escs setup. Follow this limk if you need a better www.link

Does it come with bullet conectors soldered on?
 Kaliman049 2 points
Most of the time they come without the bullet connectors soldered on. Unless the description specifies it comes with bullet connectors, or if the picture shows them soldered or on the side. Otherwise you would have to buy an solder them yourself.

Can see be card-programmed? If so, with what card?? Cheers!
Barry  2 points - 2/19/2013
 
I just installed this ESC on my copter. I programmed it per instructions and the motor will only spool up to about 1/4 throttle then pause, spool, then pause, spool, then shut down. After I put throttle back to 0, it will do the same thing. Ive tried different start settings along with battery protection settings. Ive set up the throttle by moving the stick to full then hooking up the battery then stick to 0. No change. Any ideas??
 RCplaneman 40 points
Is this with or without a prop? If it does this with a prop on, the prop is not the right size (probly to big). If this is with no prop try it with a prop instead. it is most likely cutting off because its drawing an abnormal amount of power. If this is not the case, then a wire is faulty in the motor or esc.

What timing ahould I set for cf2822 1200kv? Its a 750g trainer plane. Thanks
 RCplaneman 40 points
try each one until it works. 1200kv is a lower rpm so likely a slower timing.
Patatduif  3 points - 1/11/2013
 
How can I change the setting of the Throttle signal loss protection? I've setup this ESC and when I interupt the signal bij shutting down the transmitter, the brushless motor goes to full throttle. And ofcourse I want it to shut down.

I found the answer myself on youtube. I had forgotten to rebind to set the failsafes. see youtube: drOoB9LSekk?t=10m12s

Short Answer: Yes Long Answer: How you figure out how to match the esc and motor is as follows. First choose the motor based on the flying weight you will need to pull/push. Then find out the Max Amp draw of the motor. This you can find out as follows (KV*Voltage of the battery)/1000. Then you make sure your esc Amp rating is 10-15% more than your motor max amp draw. If your motor max amp draw is provided, simply compare against it. No need of calculation. Check out this video

What ESC would you recommend for a Turnigy 1.3 nano tech battery powering a E-power BL2220/07 Brushless motor & what are the 4 wires for on the nano tech battery Red white black & blue to one socket
 Is40:31 1463 points
The 4-wire plug is the balance plug for charging, the black should be the ground for all cells, the other wires go to the individual cells. If you use your volt meter, black to ground and positive to the red (or the wire on the opposite end of the plug) you should read total pack voltage, 11.1v nominal. Black to the wire next to it should read the first cell, 3.7v nominal. The second wire over should read a total of the first two cells, 7.4v nominal, subtract that from the first cell to get 2nd cell voltage and so on. As far as the ESC for your motor it depends on the motors watt/amp/kv rating and the load you intend to apply (propellor). Your combination of a 3 cell battery and this 25a esc will support a motor rated at 277.5 watts. Happy flying or driving or boating or hovering !

One more thing, is this ESC upgradeable with the SimonK firmware?
ZyberFart  1 points - 12/4/2012
 
Does anyone have any experiance with this ESC and KK multicopter MCFC? I have got some information that the KK MCFC does not support the frequency that the ESC is operating on.. I have a wobbeling quad and Minsoo at KK Multicopter blames it on the ESC.. !!

If you are wobbling then the pitch and Roll Pid are set too high.

I have a Nine Eagles Solo Pro 228 and want to replace the motor to brushless. I wonder to fit the 7.4 v 2s 1000amp? If anyone knows, I thank.
Bill  10 points - 11/30/2012
 
What battery connector does this have?
 Paul 5 points
Both ends of the ESC wires are bare, so you will have to solder your own bullet and battery connectors.

Hi, is this good for a hk 250gt with 3500Kv motor and 3s? I am new to heli Thanks
 raindragon 4 points
Look at your motor spec. And find a esc with equal or greater amp rating, so if that motor is hk# KA400H it's rated 19 amps then order a 20 or 25 amp esc. And yes this would be a awesome esc.

Hi I bought 4 of these ESC and install a driver quadricopter with KK2.0 HobbyKing Multi-Rotor Control Board Flight LCD, the screen turns on but does not show the programming settings, install a BEC of 5Volts if it works but now as install the motor 1??, could you please help me?
 FERNIMANN 240 points
Not this esc is NOT good for that driver, my mistake, something not recommended.

Will this work in a multirotor? Thanks
 thorian 138 points
Yes, but you will need one for each motor. I used 4 in a quad but after 25 flights one burnt out and my quad crashed. I replaced all 4 with Turnigy 30 amp plushes.

Hello, I cannot enter into the programming/ range setting mode, I turn on the _Tx, move the stick up, then power on the ESC and the RX but I only get the strange melody, see the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8nZncDs79g&feature

someone help me with this? Thank you, Rafal

After the third signal move the stick down and wait till previous signal repeats. After that cut off the battery.

Hola Tengo el ESC este, pero al configurarlo con la radio 6 EX Futaba , el motor emppieza con suave aceleracion, Y tengo que ponerlo en Full Aceleration , pero no se como programar el ESc. Me pueden ayudar, gracias. Pedro
 Jonathan 87 points
Las instrucciones para programarlo vienen con el ESC. No se cual es tu problema, pero revisa el exponencial de tu radio.
 3D Maniac 9 points
Tenes que cambiar el arranque. Generalmente entras al modo de programación con el stick a full gas y enchufas la bateria. Despues deberias seguir las intrucciones acuerdo a los tonos, para entrar a una opción lo haces moviendo el stick a la otra punta. saludos
Pedro  1 points - 9/7/2012
 
Hello, My problem is that I have this ESC in my new AXN floater plane, and with my new Futaba T6EX . The Throttle is very slow when it begin. My question or my problem is who I can program both together ( soft acceleration ) to ( full acceleration ), between The ESC an Radio. Pedro
 jimgreen360 18 points
Use the ESC's callibration proceedure with your Radio and it should be good to go.
 thorian 138 points
It sounds like you have them configured for Soft start(for helicopters) perform the beep count set up described in the directions, if you have 2 ESC's or more I would calibrate them individually to your throttle range.

Can i use this ESC for multiwii quadcopter?Does it has high switching frenquence?(more than 400hz)
 thorian 138 points
I used 4 in my APM 2.0 quad. 5 flights in and a ESC failed mid flight. When they worked they worked well, but they fail hard and fast too. Go with the Plushes
 wickette 1 points
this ESC in my humble opinion aren't made for qaudcopter, but plushes are really great for multiwiicopter (tested 4*30A plushes running *400hz and it works like a charm). The AE-series are less great speaking of quality and endurance(one of them died in the middle of my quad maiden flight)
Suriken  14 points - 8/9/2012
 
What are the best properties for quadcopter? I am duing this esc but now they start slowly and get faster with time...
 thorian 138 points
It sounds like you have the soft start enabled. That is a setting for traditional helicopters. Set Soft Acceleration Start Up to Normal
 upinipin 38 points
of you are using fixed prom then you should set the start to normal of hard start for better throttle response. the manual should show you how to change the setup. if you are new, then it should be a bit confusing. ask your local hobby friends.

I have a few of these that were pre-installed in AXN floater jets I purchased from HK.

So far, they do seem incredibly good. They spin the motor ok, although they do get hot, you should really cut away a hole in the heatshrink, and mount it in a high airflow area.

One of them, quite literally, emits a steady stream of blue smoke every time it is turned on. But it has been doing that for 15-20 flights and 5-6 crashes now, so it seems OK.
