SkyRc Toro
Im after a bit of help/advise please.
My SkyRC Toro 120 will cut out very intermittently. Last night at Stotfold I lost throttle in the warm up before the final. The steering was fine, just no GOGO juice to move forward. This has happened about 3-4 times before. It normally just starts and goes ok, but last night I had to turn the radio off and on again. Once I did this it was fine, and didn't miss a beat in the final. The speedo has never been hot when this has happened, so over heating is ruled out. So, I thought it may be my radio, but after talking to a mate who runs the same speedo, but a different radio and has had the same issue. His was fine last night though. So, my question, has anyone had the same issue with a Toro. If so did you get to the bottom of it. If so what was it I will add that mine is from RCMart, and my mates is from Schumacher. They were bought about a year apart from each other. Thanks

I also had this happen . I enefed up taking it apart found it full of damp sand from the astro . Its been ok for the ladt few weeks but on sunday it decided to losse its calibration setting for the radio .if i recalibrate it works ok again ubtill its turned off ,took it apart again but this time it will not solve the problem.

I fixed it by turning the "over heat" and "low battery voltage" cut offs off. However, the esc/motor has never been hot or the battery run low .

i have had this exact issue last week racing. its been the second time it happened at a race. 1st time thought it was a dodgy sensor wire coming out (which was part of the problem).
in the end i have replaced mine with a hobbywing. my skyrc toro was bought this year from a uk seller |

Had the same issues with reventon pros.
I've been told the term is debounce, but i'm not a software person. They don't have any. Any momentary dip in voltage to less than the cut off level and it cuts out. So typically a big start, or a glitch in the voltage monitoring part of the circuit for any miniscule time, and the ESC goes into a low voltage mode. Even looking at the reported voltage on the CANBUS of a £100000+ Tesla, it jumps around all the time, either side of the *actual* value. So no idea how good the voltage monitoring is on 10 dollars worth of hobby grade electronics. |
