Smoker wiring

Post by Antony Rowley »

Hi all,

I have posted this in the general area as I think all smokers will be similar.

I have tested the fan on the battery to make sure it is working fine which it is. Next I connect the wires as per diagram ie: Red off fan to Yellow off ESC and Black off motor. Next wired Blue/Black off fan to Blue off ESC and Red/Pink off motor. NOTHING. Dead as a DODO :cry: Why :?:

Any help would be appreciated :wink:

Thanks Antony

Hello Antony

Check the power out of the ESC with full power on that will give you a + and - reading Connect the red to the + and the Blue to the -.The fan only works in the forward position and doesnt work in reverse.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for the reply :) . That rings true. I have been wondering what the problem is :roll: . I bought one of the new Futaba 2.4 GHz sets of Gill and Mark and since I have installed the motors etc I have to move the sticks DOWN to go forward and UP to go in reverse. This makes is pretty hard to drive but I haven't quite figured out how to reverse this. Any ideas as I think this will solve my problem :?:

Thanks Antony

Hello Antony

Now thats i bit complicated to dicuss on the forum.Easy to do as you have to reverse the channels on the transmitter you can read the instructions or you can give me a ring on 01773 760337 and i will go through it with you with your transmitter next to you.
