Align Scale EC135 body for TRex 450?

[Super-Hornet]

I know those who always think "sideway" sure think of that.

No choice lah. Initially I wanted to put the whole front cockpit of UH-1C into it but the overall weight is around 110g!!

Started glitching

I have about 6 batts through with this fuse and I started having some BAD glitching! Took off the fuse and no problems. What is getting hot???

Hi luvmykids2! Welcome to Singapore Local R/C forum!

As I reply in Runryder on your post, i suspect your ESC is getting too hot...especially the onboard BEC. Are u using any external BEC? If not, plz get one.

In a confine/surrounded scale body, there is no moving air inside and thus the electronics tend to get hotter (so do your motor)

Super Hornet, can you post a link to an external BEC so I can see what it is?

Thanks! I think you are right...

[Super-Hornet]

Well, there are alot of brands and model of external BEC. Just ask for a BEC in any local hobby shop. Preferable to get a Digital switching (sometime they called it UBEC) type of BEC.

Get at least 3A with either 5 or 6V.

I see whether I have some pictures or not. Maybe somebody has it.

Just watch the video.. The last part looks like ESC cut off right? Possible ESC goes thermal shutdown.

That is the reason I don't intend to go bigger heli. Yes, bigger heli has more scale stuff to use. U can have better looking scale in bigger heli BUT the cost are lot more.
