Strange Problem with Flysky I6

Thanks for the reply. I initially thought the batteries too when the problem arose at the pond. I should have said they were NiMhi and only a few months old. On trying other batteries I know were good when I got home including plain old lead acid batteries I still got a low voltage warning on the radio for model No 3. On changing to model 6 the problem went away including the original batteries. I help other members of my Association with radio issues and have solved many problems over the years. This is the first instance I have seen where a model channel has seemingly become corrupted. Any theories are welcome. See my earlier post for my theory on how the issue arose in the first place.

Hi Bobby, are you sure that the batteries are in good condition and are not the cause or contributing cause of the problem?
I guess that's the first thing you checked.

For Kevin-56

In our Association we occasionally have had similiar problems and we have found that in a majority of cases this is due to faulty connections. If you put the boat on the bench and run it then wiggle each of the connections in turn you may be lucky enough to isolate the problem.

Just to clarify. The model channel which was No 3 of 20 always gives a low battery reading. I have tried a few receivers and they give the same result. The same receivers however work perfectly on No 6 model on the same radio. The only theory I have is that when the ESC BEC became faulty it somehow provided full voltage to the servo which burnt the servo out. Because of the short on the servo the voltage drained and gave the low voltage warning. Why this error remains I am at a loss.

You cannot delete one of the model settings as there are 20 "channels" for individual models. My radio now effectively has only 19.

We are just grateful it was a watercraft model and not an aircraft.🎉

I am certainly no expert on rc´s but can you just delete the faulty model setting as you have created a new setting to replace the faulty one?

Strange that 🤔, mine has also cut out intermittently. Thought it was just me, likewise further investigation 🔎 🙄 🤔

hi BobbyN I had the same problem with one of my boat's yesterday, the receiver keeper cutting in and out.I will need to investigate this problem.

Strange Problem with Flysky I6

Hi

Just wanted to share a problem I had with one of my Flysky I 6 radios on Saturday. About half an hour into our weekly sail the radio gave a low receiver battery warning so I retrieved the boat. This boat is only 4 years old and had been very reliable. After a great deal of testing back at home I found the speed controller had failed and the servo. Initially I did not believe that two components could fail togther but they sertainly had. But more strange is that the model setting, one of the 20 the radio has, continued to give a low receiver warning even after I had changed out the faulty parts. I have tested some of the other models I have on that radio and they work fine. I then moved to a new model setting and everything worked fine. I tested with a number of receivers and they gave the low receiver battery error on the "faulty" model channel but were fine on the new channel. I want to avoid using the reset as this will mean I have to setup all my models so I have not reset the radio.

I guess my underlying concern is how reliable the radio will be. Has anyone else had a similiar issue with the Flysky I6?
