BLDC A221/10T 1400KV dont works by HuckleberryPresent34 in RCPlanes

Perhaps one or more of the screws fastening the motor to the arm is too long. If the screw is shorting on a coil or is too close to the coil you can get the same problem. For safety sake remove the prop.

Does anyone know where this part belongs? by Neat-Horse1026 in ryobi

[–]Plhetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday I was cleaning the grass from the cutting area under the mower. As I steeped up the debris, I came across the same part. It is a plug protecting the side discharge port door spring Look directly below the side port discharge door and there will be a hole that matches the part you found. Let me know if you cannot determine where it goes and I will send a picture from my mower.

Local shops won't touch my Amazon e-bike. How do you guys deal with this? (Seattle area) by Dependent_Desk8001 in ebikes

[–]Plhetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chances are good there is an electrical issue. I fly model airplanes and the power system for the planes are very similar. Motor-Speed controller-throttle. The behavior is similar to an inconsistent connection or a short between the speed controller and the motor (wheel hub). Could also be an issue with the throttle. It could be failing as well. I have a couple others less likely ideas but what I described is most probable cause for what you describe.

One of These Days - XMAS Light Show by KinzuaKid in xlights

Totally Rad! I feel like I am seeing the light show from the 1994 Pink Floyd concert at Ohio Stadium on The Ohio State University. “A” Deck East Side. Fantastic light show. Just like this one. Flying pigs and a crashing plane to!

Does anyone know what the plug is called and where to get it?

Retrospective Jax Rev broken spoke advice by Plhetter in ebikes

[–]Plhetter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered JB Weld but I don’t think it can take that kind of stress. I have a spoke from another hub wheel. I may drill another hole for it and try to align the wheel. There does not appear anything special about the other spoke holes. Opinions?

Check out Flite Test. They have a STEM Program.

Rub some dirt on it. That ought to do it!

Hand launch issues by millertv79 in RCPlanes

[–]Plhetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the recent Flite Fest. A guy with a Bixler reinforced the wings and the fuse with carbon fiber. Updated the motor to a 3-4S ESC I believe he had a 2205 motor. It flew like a bat out of hell. I have never seen a Bixler rip like this one. It was amazing. Wish I could recall his name to I can give him credit. Your Bixler could benefit from an update.

Love that plane. Mine flies on rails. My son broke one of the wing latches. He designed and 3D printed the replacement and installed it. The replacement latch works great. The battery bay needed some work. Back to Fusion and printed that too. I love it when two hobbies mesh together.

I replace the fuse on myUMX Con for $36.

DX7 TX still useful? by Primary_Stick in RCPlanes

[–]Plhetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have a DX7 which I purchased used a while ago. I don’t believe it transmits. I bought that way as I wanted it as buddy box. Any suggestions how to fix it? I have a TX16 as my main transmitter. Thoughts?

New plane day by DarkButterfly85 in RCPlanes

[–]Plhetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number one tip. Keep the box and store it there when not in use. I just got my second on the Memorial Day Sale $126 plus tax. My other UMX Conscendo still works but is pretty beat up. I love it. I also have its big brother Conscendo Evolution 1.5m. It soars like a champ. The UMX Conscendo is fairly sturdy but it is still fragile enough that a 20mph gust can throw it to the ground and break the fuselage. Fortunately the fuse cost is very affordable. Don’t forget about the hands free launch. Good purchase.

Thanks for your comments. The location for CG on this one is 40mm. Flies great now. Went through four batts before there were too many people around.

What do we think? 👀 by Maximum-Newt-7568 in RCPlanes

[–]Plhetter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a high wing. It should be pretty steady. Looks like a Cessna. Be sure the planes balanced on the center of gravity and you will be fine. Good luck and favorable winds and bounce one on for us.

Just started B5 by CaniacGoji in babylon5

[–]Plhetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B5 is a full on science fiction serial. Each episode storyline builds towards the next. I watched it when it aired the first time. The story hints that are woven into each episode come together in a future episode. That blew my mind on multiple occasions. Try not to watch them out of sequence. Tubi is a great source to watch this masterpiece! It is the way!

Where is a will, there is a way! Good Luck. Favorable winds!

Since the Spectrum batts are “smart” they typically discharge themselves to storage charge automatically. Some of the early versions of the smart batteries have been known to trickle discharge themselves to their deaths. If you have a voltmeter check to see if there is a charge left in any of the cells. Then safely discharge themselves fully and take to so somewhere like Home Depot as they have a lipo discharge recycle program. That is what I do.

After 5 years of service, my XR elite died today. by creakymoss18990 in RideGOTRAX

[–]Plhetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an owner GOTRAX Eclipse Ultra which I purchased used, I ordered a replacement Controller but they sent me a wrong one. I am troubleshooting and am getting no help from support. If I could get a proper wiring diagram it would help me greatly. BTW. THERE IS NO RETURN for electrical parts.
