mach1 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Dave here, I've been flying IC fixed wing models outdoors for many years and more recently electric models, however just started with indoor flying at my local club in Newark and got a problem, hope someone can help. Don't know if this has been covered before but can't find an answer in the forum, I've got a Spektrum AR6300 Rx and have installed it in a small depron model with a Techone power system. 3 servos, 3 amp ESC and a Tiger 5900kv motor, control surfaces work fine, problem starts when you power up the motor. It's as though there is a volts drop to the rx when the motor is running and it either stops working (fail safe?) or control surfaces move at random! Dosn't happen when the prop is removed. Is there a different way of wiring up the rx? Only want to use a single cell 150mah lipo. Any help appreciated. Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cole Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The voltage range of the 6300 Rx is 3.5 to 9.6 volts according to Spektrum so that may be the problem on 1-S - depending on where the Rx power is coming from. The 6400 is marked as specifically for 1-cell use and has a range 3.2 - 4.2 volts. Maybe try a 2-S?

mach1 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks John, however this power set is designed for a 1 S lipo and the model weight is only 40 grams. Also the 6300 is shown in the instructions as the choice Rx. I can get it working using 2 lipo's, one direct to the Rx and one to the ESC with the +ve removed from ESC to Rx but don't want the extra weight of 2 lipo's.

Frank Skilbeck Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Maybe your 150ma 1s battery is a bit tired and the volts drop too much when you run the motor, a bettery battery might help, another option would be to use a voltage booster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
