start with the trottle stick all the way up(100%)
tx on power up rx and ESC(plug in main battery if esc has bec) when you hear the first beep pull stick to min(0%) esc should make some more beeps and may arm and motor run with trottle stick if not remove power to ESC(unplug battery) conect battery back up esc should arm and motor run. this calibrates the throttle 2nd part start tx stick at max (100%) when you hear 2 beeps pull stick to 1/2(50%) you should have went to sub menu you should hear 4 beeps this will be the brake and you can set it and see it change. none >motor will free spin down brake> motor should stop fast. This may help out greyson man Edited by airwave - 17/Apr/2012 at 3:26pm |

Hi - I recently installed the ESC and I'm having problems with it. When trying to program the servo settings it doesn't follow at all the steps in the manual:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showatt.php?attachmentid=1947657&d=1215195973 e.g., it beeps 1, 2, 3, 4 twice each (not three times). There is no music. When I pick the Cell selection mode it then gives a long beep, followed by two short beeps, and 4 beeps. Then stops. Q is this ESC hooped or do I somehow have an older ESC that requires different steps to program? Any help would be much appreciated :) |
