Re: TREX 450 having troubles starting Glad to hear the new ESC is making the difference, Rick. Good luck to the GF on Saturday. Have fun at the show!

Re: TREX 450 having troubles starting I check all the connections and there were no bad solder joints. I did not have a spare motor or ESC so I took a gamble and replaced the ESC with a Phoenix ICE ESC 50A and we now have contact. If anyone is using the same ESC with a Trex 450 3GX I would be interested in knowing your ESC settings. I also picked up the field programming card for the ESC which makes setup a lot easier. For anyone installing a new ICE ESC make sure you set your throttle limits... |

Re: TREX 450 having troubles starting Depending on where the bad joint is I guess. On a power wire you'd notice it pretty quick because even if the joint holds for a bit, the electrical connection is bad. Only way to know for sure is to remove the heat shrink and physically look at it. |

I had a 450 I'd bought second hand that I flew for a year or two before one of those motor wires finally let go and started giving me trouble. Upon inspection it was clearly a cold solder joint. To rick - take max up on his offer. It's a whole lot easier being able to look at the heli, the radio, etc in your hand than it is playing 20 questions here. It'll be a great opportunity to learn in general. Max is a smart guy, I'm confident he'll figure out the problem easily. |

Re: TREX 450 having troubles starting Rick- we are going to fly at the field tonight. Bring it if you can. Rod will be there too. Rod pretty much brings his entire spare parts toolboxes with enough spares to build 4 helicopters...LOL. I am sure we can find the cause of your heli this aft by process of elimination. |
