I have 4 LiPos in my Bismarck. 11.1v, 5200 Mah batteries. I tested each battery when I got home and found that two were drawn down and the other two were still full.

Two batteries were at 3.62v/cell and two batteries were at 4.1v/cell. I checked all of my wiring individually and all four of the connectors supply power to the entire system. So I am pretty sure that there aren't any wires disconnected causing this.

Any ideas?]]> 22 Thu, 11 Jul 2024 23:12:46 +0000 https://rcwarshipcombat.com/threads/rc-plane-transmitter.447541/ https://rcwarshipcombat.com/threads/rc-plane-transmitter.447541/ invalid@example.com (HidalgoJaime) HidalgoJaime https://www.dynamrc.com/products/detrum-gavin-6c-2-4ghz-digital-transmitter in a shipplane scale model?]]> 1 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 00:57:11 +0000 https://rcwarshipcombat.com/threads/flysky-button-conversion-troubleshoot.447492/ https://rcwarshipcombat.com/threads/flysky-button-conversion-troubleshoot.447492/ invalid@example.com (tgalx3) tgalx3

Please hold the "you're a bonehead" comments till the end.

Twice now I have overheated my ESC trying to get my pump working. At least I think it is overheating. As soon as I give it power the red light blinks several times and then it goes to counting through the numbers on the green light. I can't enter program mode or anything.

The second time it overheated so bad it melted the solder on one of the connectors. There is nothing in the trouble...

I am trying to be cheap. Can I have a single pololu board trigger two solenoids. The math checks out that they board can easily handle two solenoids. Does anyone see anything inherently wrong with his plan?

solenoid: 6.5W
system: 11.1V

6.5W / 1.1V = .5856 * 2 = 1.1712 amp draw. The board is rated to 15amps.]]> 2 Thu, 06 Jul 2023 10:50:29 +0000 https://rcwarshipcombat.com/threads/battery-charging-bank.447341/ https://rcwarshipcombat.com/threads/battery-charging-bank.447341/ invalid@example.com (tgalx3) tgalx3

So I am converting to 12V and have a couple questions,

The write up for the COMBAT GEAR DUAL GUN PCB from battlers says it can be used for 12VDC through a BUSS but the
COMBAT GEAR RX BUSS 6-8V says not for 12V systems. The same thing seems to be true for pump controller.

The
COMBAT GEAR MULTI-C appears to be the solution. Is it or is there another way to solve my...

I got it all wired up and tried to test it out this evening and ran into some issues. First, the ESC only goes forward, it doesnt register reverse. When I try to set the points I get "error beeps" I think its because the ESC are rated to 6v and the battery is 3S ll.1V. Also, this my first time every using a brushless...
