Morning all, it seems the only time I post on these forums is when I have issues! Sorry!
Anyway, Ive just come back home from a little sail at the lake where something very dramatic happened.
I was sailing my new to me (second hand model brede lifeboat, 1;12th scale)
Previous owner has fitted 2 x electronize speed controllers 30 HV ones, and a planet TX RX receiver is the radio setup.
Anyway, gently sailing around nice and relaxed until suddenly the boat kicked into FULL REVERSE! Ive now got the boat diving stern first into the water!!!! And im out of control with water washing over the stern deck! ( a good minute or two passes with me desperately trying to regain control all the time knowing water must be pouring into the hull)
Luckily somehow it came to a stop after this terrifying moment.
Now im pretty sure ive gathered why this happened….the signal between the TX and RX was lost….ive proven this because on the bench….when I turn off the TX, the motors go into full reverse……but why?
I assumed if signal is lost it should go into a failsafe mode right?
Im nervous about using the model now until I understand or put measures in place to stop this happening again.
