[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba problem

[Ken Dunlap]

It’s the battery failsafe. You must have linked the receiver at 7.4 v and that’s what was remembered. They you attached the powerbox at 5.9 v and the receiver went to throttle fail safe. Q.E.D. :)9

Power box sensor switch probably has a built in safety that limits the throttle signal. Just a wild guess.

I recently had a problem with my Futaba 18MZ system.  Several days later Earl Haury solved the mystery.  Here’s the problem:

  *   System worked fine with an unregulated 2S lipo into the receiver
  *   I put in a Powerbox Sensor switch, regulated to 5.9 v for the receiver
  *   All functions except the throttle worked fine.
  *   Motor would arm but would not run
  *   Changed all components of the system, receiver, ESC, motor, etc but nothing helped.
What is your solution to the mystery?
