Belt-CP Brake mode

This video simply shows that a non-stock transmitter/receiver can change the brake mode of the stock ESC on the Belt-CP helicopter.

Hi There, I am very new to this rc helicopter world and have just purchased a Belt CP V2 Carbon Edition and would like to know what you mean by the brake mode and what it does when on and then off

Thanks

With RC electric heli's brake mode is always turned off. This allows the motor to slow down gracefully so that the rotors have time to stop under their own inertia (allowing for say autorotations). For RC planes brake mode is often turned on to stop the propellers quickly (as they are smaller and often need to be stopped quickly). So to re-cap - for heli's BRAKE MODE OFF!!!! ;)

sry newbie here, can i know what is stock or non-stock transmitter/receiver? i know this question may look retarded to some old-flyer but an answer will b appreciated here.

Most Belt-CP heli's come with the original transmitter and receiver made by the same company (esky). In the video I was using a transmitter and receiver from Spektrum (DX6i) just to show that this procedure could still be done. Hope this helps.

is there a risk of the rotor blades to start spinning when you connect the battery? i have the stock radio, it would change something?

[P0keDad]

If you do what I do in the video then the blades won't start. It took me a while to convince myself that the E-Sky instructions weren't wrong!

Connecting the battery at FULL throttle signals the ESC not to start but to go into programming mode. Many ESCs use this method to change various settings.

Disconnect the motor or remove the pinion, no need to risk it even if it should work.

thank you

Thanks for this. Doesn't mention this in the instructions.

During flying there's no real effect, unless you're trying to perform an autorotation. It just changes the motor braking from 'propeller' mode to 'rotor' mode, letting the rotors slow down naturally without help from the motor.
