Title: Wanted: used/new "Pistix adapter" or 50A car ESC Post by: AnjanBabu on September 20, 2013, 07:23:45 PM I bought a Turnigy GTX3 pistol grip radio, figured aeroplane ESCs don't work right with it and I learned that I need a "Pistix adapter" ( http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=msw-pistix&cat=136 )
Or I could simply do away with a car ESC if someone has a 50A up for a sale, can't afford one from HK right now.

I fail to see why Aeroplane ESCs won't work. BTW, some of the reviews are scary!

what you have to do is to remove the spring loading from the wheel and make it linear i.e 0..100 instead of -50..0..+50 - that is used for car and boat esc with reverse once you do that ... go thru the normal calibration sequence for your chosen esc. i am sure a guy of your calibre will find this childs play Title: Re: Wanted: used/new "Pistix adapter" or 50A car ESC Post by: AnjanBabu on September 20, 2013, 07:51:08 PM Just went through the reviews & discussion on HK.

Thanks, that should do the trick for now :D what you have to do is to remove the spring loading from the wheel and make it linear i.e 0..100 instead of -50..0..+50 - that is used for car and boat esc with reverse once you do that ... go thru the normal calibration sequence for your chosen esc. i am sure a guy of your calibre will find this childs play Title: Re: Wanted: used/new "Pistix adapter" or 50A car ESC Post by: AnjanBabu on September 20, 2013, 08:18:40 PM Sikat bhai, the trigger uses a cam mechanism with just one spring. not possible to modify it.
Also, looks like I've been conned over a radio yet again. This radio has FlySky GT3-B hardware. Title: Re: Wanted: used/new "Pistix adapter" or 50A car ESC Post by: sanjayrai55 on September 20, 2013, 08:21:10 PM Didn't you read the reviews before buying?
Title: Re: Wanted: used/new "Pistix adapter" or 50A car ESC Post by: AnjanBabu on September 20, 2013, 08:26:02 PM No, I asked about it to a friend who owns one, he said it's been working fine with him since a year without trouble. And honestly, I fell for the Turnigy label. Lesson learned.

Title: Re: Wanted: used/new "Pistix adapter" or 50A car ESC Post by: AnjanBabu on September 20, 2013, 08:55:04 PM Well, Im not really sure anymore if I should use this radio on a boat. Although, just found out that the stock module can be replaced with FrSky module which is interestingly tempting. :D
