Hi guys, I went to switch on my 600 today and nothing?? No lights no power what so ever? Its all stock. Phoenixtech ESC/Motor stock servos and a AR7200BX. Been flying it for a year now with no probe. Any suggestions as to whats not working. ESC internal BEC maybe? I really hope it hasn't fried my new BeastX Unit and all the electrics Maybe its just the switch on the ESC? Thanks for the help. Lee

Lee If you've been flying it all along, I can't believe it just all of a sudden died. Gotta be something simple I assume. Did you have that switch hooked up? I think I've bypass mine...I don't ever use it.

All is good in the world of the Chaos 600 Again There was a connection break between the ESC and the Batteries. I guess all the unplugging of batteries over the last year put a strain on the wires. Thanks for the help though Dr E

One thing to remember is NEVER tug on the wires to unplug. Only use the plugs themselves and avoid bending the leads unnecessarily or at obtuse angles. Helis abuse the wiring enough as it is without our help.

Thanks, Yeh i do just pull the plugs, but they are so tight that all the effort to pull them apart means that when they do let go, i can't stop soon enough and it pulls the wires. So glad it happened on the ground

Grab the connectors and bend your wrists back using the palm-heel as a fulcrum to pull the connectors apart rather than arm strength.

Glad to hear it all worked out without a big hassle.
