Joe Beavis Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I was just checking the failsafe on a newly built model, and found that when I turned off the transmitter, the motor rpm dropped by approx half, but didn't stop. The motor is a new Quantum 55, the ESC ia a new Dynamic 80amp, and the transmitter is my faithful Futaba T6J. I have checked that the ESC is at default settings, and set the throttle range, the throttle trim and subtrim are zeroed. I must be missing something basic - any suggestions, please?

Keiran Arnold Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Joe, I don't have a TJ6 but looking at the on-line manual there are 2 types of failsafe for that system "battery failsafe" S-fhss and "normal " both are described in the said online manual **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beavis Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thanks Keiran, I forgot to mention that the battery was a fully charged 4 cell. I will try disabling the 'battery fail-safe' function, just in case it is being prematurely triggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
