Chris, I feel for you buddy. One step forward - two back. I wish I could offer some electricery advice but I'd be talking utter tripe!!
Good luck on solving your conundrum!!!!Comment

I'm with Doug on giving elec advice , but you are a tryer Chris. Can't see you ever being defeated . Most would have resigned themselves to having a failure, but not you .Comment

I've said it before Chris but I'll say it again - your skill, motivation and perseverance are truly inspirational! I suspect most of us would have given up long ago and just put her in a case!

AN HI Steve again many thanks for your kind words sir an put her in a CASE NO WAY as to buy a glass case to fit her would cost a fortune ON HOW BIG SHE IS an she is a workin model as i love to see ship models in a glass case but in a smaller size
ATB to you also sir
OH I hope so Doug as it isnt for the lack of tryin an as
J/R has said but THANK ALL YOU GUYS FOR YOUR SUPPORT as thats whats keepin me goin to try an get Tiger to go ok but as i said the model itself is ok its just this crappy chink eletronics that letting me down as think if my eletonics was made in england they would be ok but i cant remember the last time ive seen somethng that says MADE IN ENGLAND an ive gone through all the ESC on EBAY an they are all made in china so what can i do ?

Chris, the fans on the ESC's may be sufficient to keep them cool (here's hoping).
You are a real trier mate, don't ever give up, you'll beat it yet.
Looking forward to the pics from the model show.

HI Garry well this is the 6th attempt at tryin to get these motors to run but i dont think i'll chance it regards them fans keepin the ESC cool as how much power is goin through to them big motors is qiute high an its only got to short out on a live wire an im in trouble so they will be comin out to be replaced how they should be TBH im not that happy with myself for fittin them in like this but really this was just a test to see if all the ESC 'S WOULD RUN TOGEATHER an yes they did so now just to get them all in right perstions then ive got to wait 6 months before i can try her
ATB Garry

Chris, forgive me if I'm all wrong. You're mentioning the fans and obviously cooling. With the Tigers deck in place, is air getting in below deck to allow the fans to take in cool air and at the same time vent the hot air coming from the ESC's? Seems to me, if things are getting hot then maybe it may be a circulation issue.
As I said, tell me to Foxtrot Oscar, but not knowing or seen in the flesh how it's all constructed, it's just an idea that popped up!!Comment
