This is now the case see above in files

The ESC arms and i am still able to program it, but the motor does not move at all.

 Welysson 4 points

Probably you have changed the schedule for another battery. Tab above files have the manual, try to reprogram it.

 golys 100 points

why to do so? try to re-program the esc

 waterlogged 2587 points

What sort of BEC are you using? Is it wired correctly

 Dude rc 366 points

my 4oA hk esc also dose the same thing and also if you use a 45c-90 battery same thing will happen as i think it is not a issue with the esc but a issue with the motor according to what i have experience that motor will work perfectly with 30A esc and with a 25c lipo pack

Colega para vc fazer este calculo vc pega o wats do motor e divide pela bateria Exemplo uma lipo de 2200 / motor de 550 wats = esc de 40 mas sempre coloque um esc maior se pede um de 40 coloque um de 50 .. Abraç*os

esc only the inclusion gives a signal after a short time it is ready to run if you humming all the time it is likely to be damaged even check if it is connected to the engine

You may not plugged the UBEC correctly.

 Welysson 4 points

Ramom Hello, this ESC is perfect, I even use it in two model airplanes and never had problems. Make sure you install the UBEC properly. Good luck

 kslum 12 points

I think you must use UBEC to supplier power to your Receiver. Buy a 5V/5A BEC

It is not arming, sounds as if the throttle is "up", either the throttle trim needs to be lowered or if you are using a Futaba radio, the throttle channel needs to be reversed from standard....these tests should always, always, always be carried out....PROP OFF.

 michael 20 points

sounds like the throttle is not set at neutral, try playing with the throttle trim until neutral is achieved. hope this helps. also make sure your external BEC is working ok.

NO this esc uses your transmiter for programing

 michael 20 points

no you cannot.sorry.

 eiliux 132 points

There's no difference, how wires will be connected. If motor turns in wrong direction - just swap any two wires.

 tingio 3 points

attaccali senza logica poi se il motore gira al contrario ne prendi 2 e li inverti

 michael 20 points

any wire can go on any wire. if you want to reverse motor, then just swap any two wires.

 Francisco Almir 3 points

Amigo, O fio positivo do ESC e do Motor nunca pode ser alterados. Na inversã*o da rotaç*ã*o vc vai trocar o neutro com o retorno, nunca com o fio vermelho do ESC e motor.

Hello, waht does u mean by BESC?? however if you mean the ESC yes its included.. Best Regards

 Stevegauth30 77 points

No. This is separator. If I understand you correctly.this esc has no bec. You would want a separate bec. Probably a ubec. Anything of mine that I care about has a separate ubec.bec and esc sold separately. Hope this helps.

 BuznCuzn 14 points

OR... you can use this with a second, separate battery to power the receiver. Search under "LiPo, LiFe, NiMH Battery", then "Rx/Tx Batteries".

 BuznCuzn 14 points

However, the UBEC would be the better option

 Stevegauth30 77 points

Its the battery eliminator circuit. It's the center wire in the trio of wires coming off your esc. I use a UBEC , or universal BEC on all of my planes so that if I fry my speed controller I don't loose all power to my RX.if you do the same you have to remove the center wire from the servo clip where it connects to the RX, and just plug the UBEC into any open Chanel on RX. Hope this helps. If not I can explain in more detail.

 BuznCuzn 14 points

The above ESC, the HK-60A, has no BEC, hence, no power out to the Rx. The center wire is for throttle speed control signal only. The Rx needs to receive power from a separate battery pack, plugged into the Rx's batt/bind input. Search under "LiPo, LiFe, NiMH Battery", then "Rx/Tx Batteries".

 BuznCuzn 14 points

Sorry to add to confusion. It's too bad HK doesn't explain things like this up front, instead of making customers hash it out among themselves. I bought one of these ESCs and it took me months to figure out why it wouldn't work just by plugging it in like other ones I had.

 BuznCuzn 14 points

Forgot to add, once again, the UBEC is the better way to go.

 waterlogged 2587 points

Well who's fault is that? certainly not HobbyKing's as you accuse. It's purely your fault for not reading the description. You ordered it and HobbyKing delivered exactly what you ordered The description states very clearly "NO BEC"

 BuznCuzn 14 points

If that line was there when I ordered it, then I probably overlooked it, or didn’*t understand it, which would make it my own fault. I was just saying that I wished it had been explained better for dummies like me, which would have saved me a lot of time, but I also know that you can’*t have it all, so I concede.

 waterlogged 2587 points

That's the very reason this forum is here. To help people like yourself get the right items. Just "is this ESC right for my plane" would have had people saying it needs a BEC and then you would ave to ask "what the hell is a BEC" Don't be afraid to ask questions but then don't expect personal tuition either. There are many forums on the Net who have just about every answer you need. It takes a lot of reading but so does anything you learn. Remember to read a page before asking a question because it's probably been asked before. I saw one a few weeks ago and the same question was asked 17 times in the first 30 questions We get a bit mad when that happens. Say please and thank you. That's about all we ask plus have fun launching your first plane because if you've asked the right questions you will have fun and lots of satisfaction too.

Hello, no you cant its over...
Best Regards

 UAVjoe 3 points

Yes there is no problem with using a higher amp esc. the motor will only pull what it needs.

 emanuel 669 points

because i have bigger 60A motors and i want to know if I can use the same ESC Thanks

 emanuel 669 points

I also have small ones as well and I don't wanna buy another one :) That's because my parents don't let me buy any more,as they say is a waste of money.

 taib amine 8 points

hi in fact it can work but there is a big chance that it will fire up your motor but it will also give it a lot of power but sometimes when you are at full power you will see that it doesn't work like what you expected but the 60A ESC it's the best choice good job

 jotbat 6 points

Ok so what is the final verdict. Can this 60A ESC be used with a 20A motor? Yes/No

 waterlogged 2587 points

God, what does it take. YES, a 60 amp ESC will be fine for any motor up to a 50 amp for safety sake. It will not be any good for any motors which require more than 60 amps. So here we go, listening? OK? YOUR 60 AMP ESC WILL HAPPILY POWER YOUR 20 AMP MOTOR. However, to power your receiver and servos you will need either an external BEC (very cheap) a 5 amp BEC is fine. Or use a 6 volt battery pack to do the same YES YES YES YES YES Does that answer your question?

 Nikers 192 points

No, but you can program it with your transmitter.

 Carlo_Magno 20 points

The programming is done from the transmitter. You can download the manual on HobbyKing web.

 Manuel 19 points

No. Different brand. Different programming.

 Hussain Joharji 211 points

Hello,, thisi is a default timing: 1/7/15/30 programmable...from its specification...

best regards

 scott 13 points

No they are not, when viewing the item check the description and it will say whether or not the BEC is built into the unit.

 Felipe 3 points

Some products may contain B.E.C. for example: www.link

 igor 3 points

UBEC is recommended that for this speed controller. thank you

 Guenther 7 points

nach 2 jahren ohne Probleme.

 handyjap 195 points

The 4 setting ESC's I received is working on normal motors but the Timing setting for high revving engine is not supported and the 16k PWM setting for high power is not supported.

 igor 3 points

UBEC is recommended that for this speed controller. thank you

 CHAMP-RC 1051 points

I recently bought a 5amp BEC and it works fine. Hasent let me dowen and is only slightly warm after a flight. It suggest 5 amps.
