how to wiring electronics

[jack2k]

hi there

I'm still assembling my trex 700 but i get a doub about how to wiring electronics.

This is my configuration :

T-Rex 700 Nitro
Align RCE-6600 rpm regulator
Yamada YS 91SR long stroke + Hatori 946
JR DS8717
Spartan DS760 + Futaba BLS251
Futaba S9254 on throttle
Spektrum VR5203 5.2V 2A regulator
JR 921 2.4GHz DSM2
Flightpower Evolite20V2 2S1P 1600mAh
Radix 710 Stick Bangers

i use VR5203 between spartan and bls251 and between receiver and rce-6600 but .... what about gain channel of rce-6600 ??? ( i see on data sheet operating voltage is DC 4.5÷6V )

i hope i explained good what's my problem.

thanks, Jack

Have a look at this thread: http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=84657 for some wiring inspiration...

thanks but i've already saw that 3ad ..... it's about how to 'hide wires'

my question was different ;)

You can run the gain channel straight off of your receiver if you make sure to remove the positive voltage wire from the plug. That way the governor is getting voltage only through the throttle channel from your VR5203 regulator.

thanks for ur answer ;)

anyway i solved buying a Fromeco Kiwi 4 channel regulator !!!

take care

The input power bus on the governor will be common to the throttle input, gain input, and throttle output so separate regulated power inputs are not required. I don't know if the Fromeco 4-channel actually has 4 independently regulated channels or just 4 taps from the same regulator. If the former, then it isn't a good idea to connect two to the same device since a very small difference in voltage set points between the two outputs could cause excessive current draw from the regulator. If the latter (4 taps from a single regulator) then no problem.

From Fromeco website :

The Kiwi pass through regulator is a regulator that is designed specifically for helicopter use. The Kiwi can be thought of both a regulator and a Power Buss type unit. Designed for use with any battery with a Voltage under 10 volts. It is recommended that a battery no higher than 8.4 be used with the Kiwi due to its designed purpose.

The Kiwi is designed to help pilots squeeze every last inch out of performance from there servos at higher voltages. It is also the perfect unit to allow for the unregulated Cyclic control voltages using a LiFePO4 battery pack such as the Iron Corps, and Iron Corps Extreme A123.






Kiwi at a glance

* Kiwi Regulator
* Deans input
* 4 Ports, usable at either Raw Battery Voltage, or Regulated at 5 volts
* 5 Male/Male JR jumpers for connection to RX, 1 jumper for Switch

:thumbup: Single regulator with a bus. No problems.
