HELP electrics / wring - sorted

Post by iansenior »

Hi
Could any of you r/c builders please help / instruct me please in joining the connectors / cables together in the right order
I have
4 props
4 prop shafts
4 UJ
4 motors
2 ESC
1 Mixer
1 12v battery
1 servo for rudder
1 Saturn controller 2.4 gh
The attachment Picture 184.jpg is no longer available
Picture 184.jpg
Picture 185.jpg
Picture 187.jpg
Picture 190.jpg
Picture 192.jpg
Picture 193.jpg
Picture 186.jpg
I am presuming that linking two motors together then to the ESC with block connectors on both sides, join battery leads from both ESC's then to the battery, My problem is out of each ESC you have one triple wire connector, these then join to the mixer ? then two triple wire connectors which join to the sender receiver which is numbed 1 to 6, I don't know which way or which number. :newbie: :huh: :scratch: :thinking:

Any help will be gratefully accepted

Hi
Great thanks to Dave Wooley for his help in sorting this problem out, and to the Leeds model shop in supplying a Y piece I have a fully working set of motors for the KGV and thanks for all those who viewed

If you are powering the Reciever using the BEC, Battery Eliminator Circuit, from your Viper ESCs, then
ONE of the Viper ESC needs to have it's center red wire removed from its connector to the receiver.

OR, The switch needs left in the OFF position, or better yet, cut the switch off , and solder a small plug socket to
the two wire stubs on the ESC, and a plug to the wires remaining on the switch.

This will keep the two Viper ESC from causing each other feedback to each other through the reciever.

One, not both Viper ESC should be power the reciever. Do take a moment to verify this in the ESC instruction manual.
