FAQs and Troubleshooting

1 - Ensure that there is a common ground between the ESC, RX (receiver) and afterburner controller. This is easily accomplished by using the same battery to power all three units. 

2 - The afterburner units are tested and developed with Spektrum receivers. Other brands of receivers may be used with the afterburner controller as long as they provide a PWM throttle signal and 5 VDC to the afterburner controller via the throttle connection. 

3 - There is no programming or calibration required for the afterburner controller. It is a plug and play system. 

4 - The standard balance lead is a 6S connection. However the afterburner controller is pulling power from four of the cells. Do not rewire the balance lead connector or move any of the pins. This will damage the afterburner system. 

5 - For a dual EDF TrueFire or BlueFire LED setup only one afterburner controller is used. 

6 - Spektrum G2 Batteries - these batteries do not have a balance lead. We need a balance lead to power the afterburner controller and LED. Here is our solution to provide a balance lead connection with a G2 battery. https://fiftytwoeightyrc.com/collections/spektrum-g2-battery-adapters Please note that the battery telemetry information will not be available when using our G2 balance lead adapter. The Spektrum G2 connector is a proprietary item and is not available from our component suppliers. 

7 - We have a two week order processing time. We are a small business and it takes us two weeks to process (build, test, package and ship) the order once received. We have all of the components we need to build the orders in our lab. We just need two weeks to get to all the orders.
