Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / July 2008connectors for a 600 electric sized bird
just curious are deans T style connectors ok for the 600 class sized helicopters? as we had one go in today down my club that got hot enough to melt the solder and came completely undone causing £350ish worth of damage  SignatureKevin R Reply address works > just curious are deans T style connectors ok for the 600 class sized > helicopters? as we had one go in today down my club that got hot enough to > melt the solder and came completely undone causing £350ish worth of damage If you are talking about these, http://www.rctoys.com/rc-toys-and-parts/DE-ULTRA/RC-PARTS-CONNECTORS-WIRING.html ?gclid=CNjY7fum4ZQCFQgWiQodPnb_SQ , then they should have been just fine. A friend of mine is flying an X-Cell Ion with two 5S packs run in series. That's 42 volts when fully charged, and he's had no problems in three years of running them. It sounds like something else may have gone wrong if these are what you're talking about. Is it possible that something shorted out after the crash? Things like this are really hard to diagnose after the fact sometimes. Best of luck figuring out what happened!

No problems at all.. Guys I fly with are running up to 10S LiPo on theirs using these connectors. Sounds like it had a dead short somewhere or the solder joints were cold/cracked. |
