Just connect them any way you like, then try the motor, if it runs backwards take two of the wires and swap them, it should then run properly

Is this bec strong enought to power 6 9g servors????
 qemay 31 points
No to strong. I have 4 digital servos (corona 919) on a hk-250GT. The BEC was able to handle those with an flybar setup, but FBL was to much. Did reset after 30 seconds - no using an external 5v/5a SBEC and fly's with no problem. So 4 is a lot in some situations 6 might be to much in normal usage.

Will this esc work on a 50 mm ducted fan plane?
wudaal  25 points - 7/12/2012
 
I have these BEC and have noticed that it cannot give enough power to the motors, earlier I was using them in a quad-copter but it didn't work, today i was using it to power an EDF but again there was a kind of resonance and the EDF could not produce enough thrust to pick the craft up. I am in doubt now may be these can not be used as speed controllers, am I right?
 H-KING_SCOTT 5238 points
No, it's highly unlikely that the ESC is to blame.
 BradleyK 69 points
if the esc isn't hot to the touch the esc isn't to blame, but if it is very hot then it could be current limiting
 wudaal 25 points
well, thank you gentlemen. this is BEC, and as much I know, BEC is used with ESC, while I am not using any ESC. is this OK?
 BradleyK 69 points
im sorry i don't understand, a bec provides 5v power for the electronics, not to drive the motor, yes this has a bec and a esc built in.
 Tank1 313 points
The problem could be down to a dry solder joint,make sure you soldered the plugs on good enough and that you have a good contact to your wires,when i first started in this hobby a few years ago i had the same sort of problem with what you said,but after i re soldered the plugs on it was fine,this is an ESC with a built in BEC,if you don't want to use the built in BEC disconnect the red wire from the servo wire,if your using these for a quad copter but make sure you leave one ESC with the red wire connected.
 leiff 86 points
people don't know why leave only one red wire connected when using multiple ESC Must times it doesn't matter but to be safe only use one of the ESC bec (red wire)Some electronic guy can explain this better than me

Please be care to use it with Multiwii. There could be some problems with full throttle. (Copter shakes a bit at full throttle) Better use the TURNIGY PLUSH

bough one of those and tried it out. the motor starts but cuts off 10 secounds afterwards. i thried it with several lipos (fully charged) and the same happend. cross checked it with a different esc and the motor worked smothly. it seems to me that the controler automatikly goes into cut off mode. any suggestions?
(also tried with different cutt off settings)

Hi! I just uploaded a stick programming manual into the files tab above, check it out. The names in the manual suggest it's for different controllers, but this works for all turnigy programmable esc. Alternatively, it is always easier to program with a card. The recognition is automatic. Take care!

Why is Basic more expensive then Plush? What is the difference? Which one should i use in quadcopter? Thanks.
 Fpvman 125 points
Basics use higher quality FETs than the Plush's. Tactfrequency of these is slightly slower than the Plush Series Other than that the hardware is identical, and you can use them both. Plush is the most common to use in quads, but i use basics in a quad, and they work fine.

 deno6031 9 points
i know they could be used on multicopters but could they be used mixed with plush escs? like 3 plush esc and 5 basic escs on my octocopter
 wolfes1126 3367 points
Hi Deno,
I am using 3 18A Plush and 3 25A Basic Turnigy ESCs on 1 of my Hexas i build.
Reason was that i had the Plush on a Tricopter i destroyed and wanted to build up a Hexa and Plush was on BAckorder, so since i was in a Hurry i just ordered me some of these and they work fine together.
Only trhing you have to look out for is that the Tactfrequency of these is glightly slower than the PLUSH Series.
On a OpenPilot CopterControlboard i have the Rate set to 300hz instead

I still order if they are out of Stock, that way i am always in the List of PPL t o have them send first when a new Batch arrives.
Did the same thing with the 6A Plush f or my Nano Quad i am fixing to build as soon as my CNC Guy gets the rest of the Material needed. My 6A Plush were send about 2 weeks after ordering them while on Backorder.

I noticed that the Basics use higher quality FETs than the Plush's. (International Rectifier if I recall correctly) Other than that the hardware is identical. Notice how the "Basic" ones cost more! You get what you pay for. Loosing an ESC on a quad is no fun!

Hi, I'm using this esc on a gt250 heli, problem is I'm unsure on the programming. Can anyone help by giving me the correct settings (terminology) for a heli. Not sure what soft start is on the set up list, and fast throttle response. When i give a little throttle she just spins then eventually calms. I can't seem to slowly bring the rotor up to speed.

Please please, any help would be great
Thanks
John
 jostafew 37 points
Hey, sorry to say but the soft start on the Basic and Plush ESC's are pretty ***r. Soft start is supposed to slowly s***l up the motor so you don't whip the blades all over and/or strip the main gear on a heli. This isn't what you want to hear but there's not much you can do about the "soft" start. For that reason I restrict the use of innexpensive ESC's like the TGY Basic, Plush, Mystery, Blueline to planes etc. For my helis I run higher $ stuff. I've been very impressed with Align ESC's (I run

Jari-Pekka:

Thanks for all your previous help, and now I need a bit more please...I have everything connected, LiPo's are at 12 volts I get the start up song from the ESC but then one second beeps that do not quit? The directions on the ESC are very ***r but it says when that happens there is something wrong with the power supply too much or too little? I do not think this is the case? When it beeps I can see the prop move just a little but will not turn...I reversed the wires on the motor just to see if that would help and it did the same thing..Thus nothing works not even the servos and my transmitter on or off does not make any difference...I do not know where to begin to check things out? I did not program the ESC as my transmitter is not able to send any signals I think this is because the ESC is blocking power to the receiver as well as the motor? Transmitter is fully charged as well. Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated...Thanks Robert
 JPW85 36 points
ALWAYS I mean ALWAYS turn the transmitter on first before connecting the batery and vice versa when you quit flying. and make sure that the throttle is at bottom position.

Ok, that being said It might also be that throttle stick isn't all the way down. The ESC has to register the lowest throttle position before it can work. If you have a so called computer radio like futaba 4ex you can set the EPA in the transmitter settings close to 0. When it registers the lowest point the beeping will stop.

Do you get the a tone after the song/tone stops when you plug in the battery? It should automatically count the number of lipo cells. For example if you have a three cell lipo it should make 3 three beeps after the song finishes. If it doesn't make that sound it isn't registering the number of lipos. You might be able to set it manually by programming the ESC. Do as the instructions say. Turn on the transmitter, move throttle stick to up position, plug in battery. The ESC should make a special tone after the initial one. Now you are in program mode. After you hear two short beeps move throttle stick to bottom, after that when you hear 1 beep and move the stick back up. Then exit the programming mode as per instructions.

You might want to check that you have plugged the servo lead to the receiver the right way around. If it ain't plugged the right way around nothing will work since the signal isn't going through.

Thanks again for you help..Wow you really know you stuff! It turns out to be the new transmitter I purchased and it was an inexpensive one. The antenna has a bad connection so I will have to get that replaced, or see if I can fix it? Then I will use your instructions when that problem is solved. If you had not told me to turn it on first I would have never solved the problem. When I turned it on according to your instructions it started to work a bit when I pushed the antenna to one side..Thanks again..Sure wish this site had a PM on it (private message) Then we would not have to take up this space....Lee
 JPW85 36 points
Thanks and good to hear that you found the problem! One shouldn't think cheap when choosing a transmitter.

Have you extended the antenna wire of the receiver all the way so that it's hanging freely in the tail? The antenna wire should be as straight as possible and not curled up or crossing itself.

Ps: I only just started R/C-stuff this june :) check wattflyer website. It will help you alot in the future problems.

Sorry I mistyped there. THE BRUSHLESS MOTOR GETS ITS POWER FROM THE ESC. SERVO LEAD GOES INTO RECEIVER.

This is an adequate ESC at a decent price, as long as you don't plan to use it at anywhere near the stated rating.

It gets hot and starts dropping current due to FETs overheating after a less than a minute at 18A. The sustained current seems to be app. 15A.

Depending on what you are trying to achieve, this could be a slightly better deal compared to a name-brand 18A ESC. But definitely not all that much of a bargain compared to e.g. Castle' ThunderBird series.

I use this with my Multiplex Minimag and a Turnigy TR 35-30C 1100kv outrunner. I have 4 servos on the plane, and one gyro. The BEC got very hot, so I had to add a UBEC in addition to this ESC. That worked just fine.
