Title: Help Required with Action P94
Post by: jumpin_jack on April 29, 2020, 07:30:42 pm

Hi Guys, old age is getting to me and I'm trying to recreate this set up for my Happy Hunter.
The only change I've made is to run it on a 6 volt battery rather than 12, my issue is with the P94 distribution board, now the RX power input lead that comes from the p94. How does it connect to the whole system? is it via the RX or does the battery pack plug straight into the P94?
apologies if this sounds basic but its been a while :-))

Are you using a P102 distribution board .

P94 is the dual ESC, not the power distribution board (that's P102). You don't need a separate Rx battery pack. As per the legend on the diagram, the two-wire flylead from P102 plugs into the receiver in the socket where you would usually connect a 4-cell pack. This is usually marked "Batt" or similar. As long as your installation mirrors the diagram then everything should work OK.

Hi Dave, Thank you for the help, i must apologise, yes it is the P102 distribution board that i was referring to.
I just didnt want to go for it only to find that i blow something up. :-))
So just to clarify i can run the whole set up from the 6 volt lead acid battery used to run the motors?
regards
Phil
