Question For: Fred Body - Radio Control

Question: I have recently bought a Graupner Soundswitch 1, I can load the programme and module, but cannot get it to play when connected to the model,the two motors are connected to a Action Electronics P94 Dual esc/mixer multi controller Can you help John

Answer: I have not tried the set-up you have. I need some ‘hands on’ testing to be of any use. Have you asked Action Electronics if there is a problem connecting the Graupner unit? Alternatively, post a query on the Model Boat Mayhem Forum. There may be someone on it who has experience of this arrangement.

Question For: Fred Body - Radio Control

Question: what size electric motor for a 1/32 MTB (Vosper Brave Borderer)Brushless? or not. Want it to be fast. Cheers Tony

Answer:

Yes, a brushless motor is best. I use the Tornado BM600 which is similar in size to a brushed 600 motor. For a long run it is good on 7.2 volt but on 2 x 7.2 in series it is a hairy monster! I like the Etronix 70 amp controller as it has good control from tick-over to full speed (Sussex Model Centre).
