450 co-axial

[Hawkline]

I hope someone can help me out here. I'm building a 450 quad into a coaxial and I'm wondering how to hook up 8 ESC's to the Naza Lite FC....Would I have to use a "Y" connector to do this as there are not enough ports on the Naza Lite to achieve this...any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think Naza lite is X8 compatible. Don't have one anymore. But I'm pretty sure it only can control up to a hex from what I recall. Need to upgrade to Naza M at least.

Indeed, the Lite can't run an octo:

And if you were considering just running it as a quad with two motors per port, that won't work.The copter will be incapable of yawing.

You will need to at least change to Naza M V2, which can use the X1 and X2 ports for motors 7 and 8 but you will loose the abiilty to control camera (if the case)

You can not make a co-axial quad that will work on the Naza system because you will have no yaw control the system depends on motor rotation for yaw function. You could run eight motors on a quad system if done properly though

Well, I'm sure the NAZA Lite will be able to control a X8-Mulirotor.


You've only to choose the mixer type I4 and then connect the outputs M1...M4 with Y-cables to the ESCs of the motors 1...8 as shown in this picture:

Looks like that would work with exactly how it's laid out.

IT will be intresting to see if it works. I am trying to figure it out on my mind how it can work.
