Default Re: 4200xl Hydraulics slow?

As Andy mentioned in his thread, he found a switch on the transmitter not knowing what it was for that slowed down his hyds... Mixing Channels switch. Is yours on or off?

You can trace the plumbing to figure out which is the bypass valve (4th valve) & make sure it's turning when you activate 1 or all 3 hyd functions. The pump doesn't need to be on when you're doing this & without the noise of the pump you can hear what servos are working.

Increasing motor speed does not increase pressure, it increases flow. This motor/pump combo is way too big already for this system & increasing motor speed would just make the motor work harder drawing higher amperage from the esc & burn out the esc! Being china electronics, it could even catch fire! no joke.
