When I use the Steve convertor,I solder the yellow wire to the small resistor at the back and the white to the ESC white and I cut off the red and black signal wire on the Helimax esc and not use it! I solder the steve red and blue to the battery +v and -v on the board. My question is if I don't need the Steve on a V2 board,I just solder the esc white wire to the resistor at the back and what do I do with the red and black signal wires of the esc?Do I cut it off and not use it or do I solder it to the +v and -v of the board? Thanks for your help! John

+1 they are connected to the battery leads on the ESC anyways, Walkera uses them as power inputs on the CB100 tail ESC, you dont need multiple connections to the same points on the ESC.

Just to be clear. If i have one of these ESC's i need to solder it here. https://www.helifreak.com/attachment...1&d=1323477377
And i wont need thesteve or another converter? And ill get the same throttle response? (0 -100%) as a converter (thesteve)? Anybody weigh these to see the difference. Obviously a higher current through the walkera ESC but at what weight cost? Thanks Bill Last edited by poulsbobill; 02-23-2012 at 08:07 PM.. Reason: walkera esc weighs 6 grams |

Stripped the walkera esc is almost identical to the Xp7A stripped.
Approx 1.65g board only. Amp |

Wow, I did not know that I can use the walkera 10a esc on the
MCPX V2 without the converter. I have one walkera 10a esc pull from a walkera 4#3b brushless main. I hook it up to replace AEO converter + Overskey XP-7A ESC combo. To my surprise, it actually works fine on the V2 3 in 1! The M5 motor runs perfectly. I actually prefer the Walkera ESC over the XP-7A with converter for two reasons: 1) One less converter, lighter. 2) Walkera seems give pretty linear output close to 100% range. AEO converter setup seems to max out at about 80%. 3) I do feel the heli has higher head speed with the walkera ESC. That is surprising to me. One the other hand, the higher head speed seems to cause easier TBO with stock tail motor & extended boom. It might be my tail motor is getting weak over the usage. Still debugging. I also test it on the V1 3 in 1, it does not work with V1. The motor wiggle a bit then the ESC go to the error mode. So for V2 BL mod, the walkera 10A ESC + c05m/M5 motor is properly the cheapest route. That is what is on my V2 now. |

The V2 board needs the L Walkera ESC (Positive PPM input) either plugged into the main motor output or to the small resistor on the back of the board. Dylan |

Where did solder the white wire in the back of the board or in the + side of the motor plugs in the front of the board. Thanks

Where is the best (cheapest) place to get one of these ESC's?

Update. My tail rotor has strike the ground a few times and it is in pretty
bad shape. No white stress mark but the edge of the rotor has been chew up. I replace it with a new tail rotor and the TBO is reduced to previous level now. I really enjoy this walkera + M5 setup. |

Clubheli has them. They are a great vendor too.

brushless
Hey guys, which one is the + output for the main motor, is it where the white wire from the motor plug goes into the connector? (sorry for my being dumb when it comes to electronics, LOL) Thanks. I got some of those 10a esc laying around from my walkera experience and i believe that they are still good.

I have one photo here, not sure it helps or not.
https://www.helifreak.com/showpost.p...6&postcount=21 The white cable is just the servo cable, there are 3 of them, Normally black, red and white. The white one is the PPM signal cable. Let me know if you want me to upload higher resolution pictures. |

walkera esc
Thanks Core, but they were talking about the walkera 10a esc, with the white signal wire being soldered to the + part of the motor connector. and i was wondering if it is where at the back of where the motor wire connects too, where the white wire for the motor itself connects.

Oh, you mean the connection spot on the 3 in 1?
I have the picture of the V2 board here. https://www.helifreak.com/showpost.p...86&postcount=6 I also done the V1 but I haven't take picture of it. I know some one else post the V1 picture before. But I can't find it. It is easy to find in my own post. |

esc
Is that the small resistor spot they were talking about? at the back of the board. Now they were saying that if using this walkera 10a esc, i won't need the convertor.
