How they get away with that? I don't know but they're in China and this is the good old US.The Align ESC also has different settings you can use for motor speed and battery voltage. They burn up usually within a few times of trying to fly. The ESC that comes with the upgraded Raptor G2 is almost always prone to overheating and failure. Hi endoquad, If you have the Walkera 30 amp esc I afraid you need to remove it and replace it with an align 25 Amp or 30 Amp both will work fine. I am afraid to plug in the battery to even look at the other stuff. So, needless to say, any help on figuring out why my esc is over heating so badly would be very much appreciated. Tail blades seem to be set properly but no movement? I could only hold the tail or turn nose left, no nose right at all. I couldn't pin point exactly where it was coming from but it was towards the rear by the reciever.

When setting up my heli I noticed that the servos are twitching or at least emitting a twitchy type hum. I melted the shrink rap on it so I am going to have to rewrap.

Anyway, the only thing that I have changed are my deans plugs but I am sure that I hooked those up properly. I noticed it was heating up a bit during set up without the motor connected but I figured maybe I needed to have the motor connected for heat dispersion-NOPE. After I spun up the blades a few times w/o even getting light on the skids I temped the esc at about 170-180 degrees F. The BAD news is that my ESC is overheating pretty badly. The good news is that I got my parts and the heli is put back together. My gyro is set to AVCS switch one, and Nor on switch two. Look at my helicopter and see if the servo horns for the tail and mounting are the same. The number 5 is the only switch that should be on. Look at your DIP switches on the back of the transmitter. Sounds to me like the maybe rev mixing might be wrong too on the TX. If it's not correct switch the gyro to nor or rev whitchever is opposite to what it's on right now being that it's not keeping the tail centered. If you spin left the tail blade should move the direction to counter act and go opposite. Spin in a circle a few times and look at whitch way the tail rotor is giving positive or negative pitch. Now center the tail with the controller and hold the helicopter by the rotor head keeping the nose straight. Look at the picture and make sure they turn the right direction. Also make sure you installed the rotor blades in the right direction. Turn the helicopter on and check to see that you can turn the tail rotor blades the same distance either way right, left. Now center the TX trim tabs for the tail servo. They don't pull either way when rotatating. So when the Tail servo is centered the rotor blades are centered too. But hopefully you can interpret what I'm saying here. I posted a picture some time ago on this thread. Perfectly centered adjust the servo linkage rod so that the tail rotor blades have zero positive or negative pitch. Make sure your tail servo is in the center (90 degrees) that means it can turn the servo horn the same distance in either direction. This ESC is fully programmable using your radio or a programming card.Hello bjj0866, First thing you should do is center your tail rotor blades. This ESC weighs 79g and will work with a 2 cell to 6 cell LiPo. This ESC is burstable to 80A for 10 seconds.

The built in 5A SBEC (switched BEC) will provide power to the receiver, servos, lights, and retracts directly from your LiPo flight pack. This ESC has a male T-connector for connection to your LiPo battery pack and pre-soldered bullets for easy connection to your motor. The old SKU is FMS-ESC-70A 5A SBEC(200mm length cable) FMS 70A ESC with 5A SBEC and 200mm lead length
