Guys,

Is anyone running a phoenix 35 on 5s?  The instructions say it will do 5s without the BEC.  The timer shouldnt be enough load to cause a problem should it?  My setup will be the following:
Scorpion 3026 710
Flightmax 5s 3000
APC 13 x 6.5 ep
Will Hubin FM-2a

I was going to use my Ice 50 on my new model, but its just too big physically to fit in the front end.  I should have got the lite model.  I already have the Phoenix 35 and I'm trying to save from buying another esc...

Thanks for any advice.
Jason

Thanks Alan!  That's kind of what I was thinking.

Lol, thanks Dean!  Merry Christmas to you to!!

John,

I thought about that, but I didnt really see an easy way to remove the heat sink and was affraid of damaging the esc.  I'll look at it again and see if I can get a better idea as to how it is put together.

I'm really having trouble getting everything stuffed into the front end of this new airplane.  I thought a big airplane would be easier to configure, but I guess when the parts going into the airplane scale up in size with the airplane then it doesnt get any easier...  I'll try to post some pictures of what i'm working on tomorrow.

Thanks,
Jason

Jason,

If you peel the two strips of tape (black with info printed on it) off the plastic ends, the heat sink will slip right off. You might want to wrap the ESC in tape (packing??) or a heat shrink tube to protect it. Probably voids your warranty though!
