HB-25 Issues

Hi there! My husband is entered in Robogames in San Francisco, and competes tomorrow. We were at Fort Mason testing out his truck and had a tough time with some of the hills and grass. He ended up getting a new motor and steering servo, but realized last night that one of the HB 25 motor controllers burned out when he was testing. I've been trying to track one down, but have not had any luck so far. I don't really know who sees these posts, but if anyone has a working HB 25 motor controller I'll pay double!!!

Thank you kindly,

Tajina Casey

    Sure it's not just the fuse?·
    (You can get those at any auto parts store.)

    PJ Allen, Thank you so much for your reply, all help is greatly appreciated. Robert (my husband) did check the fuse, and it is still in-tact.

    Tajina,

    About the only thing that can nuke a HB-25 is hooking it up backwards.· If that's what happened, it's toast, but if not, then it's something else.· Does the green light come on?· Do you have a way to check the signal coming in?

    Try bumping the power on and off several times.· I have two of these that are stubborn about starting and I have to cut the main power while the RC signal is going into the bridge.· Bumping the power on and off might get it started.
