Re: ESC reverse issue
yeah, that's the one. I've pulled the wire out, but If I don't flip the switch, there's no sound or LED indication the ESC is on.
I bought these ESC's because they are cheap. When I get the hang...

Re: ESC reverse issue
P.S.
what about those ESC switches? It seems a bit odd to have to open the model every time to turn the ESC on or off.. Or do I leave them on (permanent connection) and just power the toy with the...

Re: Starting a new build... something...

Re: Battery capacity. What's nominal?
And swap them when one is depleted?
I have some 18650 cells lying about, I'll solder them in 3S configuration and use it for testing purposes. If they suffice, I'll order a dedicated LiPo pack(s).
