I put it in my plane and turned it on. Motor beeps 3 times. Servos move and respond to controler. But then it will not start the motor for some reason. Help plz :)
Ben, my friend, I am having the same problem as you, you managed to solve this, if I could and can give me any tips, thank you. Sorry for the english, google translation. Hug your friends from Brazil..
Would I have to do any programming to make this esc work well with this EDF? PRODUCT ID: 107000006 Or will factory settings work well? *I will credit* lol
Yes, it looks good to me. If you buy it, be sure to buy the round blue programming card shown above. The add for the fan says to set the timing in your speed controller to high. The card allows you to do this easily and make other changes if you want. Good Flying!
Yes you can program this with your transmitter, be sure to follow the directions closely. It can be confusing. Honestly, I would probably just hook it up and try it. It's default setting comes with the timing set to automatic, so I would try it. run it up to full throttle for a short period of time, and then shut it down, and check the temperature of the motor and the speed controller. Not getting hot and no weird noises, you are good!
Hi Orsini, the Turnigy G10 1200kv is rated at Max current: 52A but with an 11X5.5 prop on 3S will draw 53A * 2140g static thrust - this is OK for the ESC, but not really good for the motor. You would be better running 10x5 (41A - 1800g static thrust) and then you would be in the safe zone for both motor and ESC.
The G10 1200kv is a very powerful motor, I assume you are lifting a very large multirotor / payload.
the programming card dosnt work for 90% of people ,
I have the esc and have only bench tested it so far and its not working right , it wont idle it cuts in and out and the program card wont do anything except light one led , its garbage .
Are you using the round blue one shown above? This is the only proper one. I don't understand what you mean about lighting one LED. So maybe you have a bad card or you are using the wrong one or maybe not hooking it up properly or in the wrong sequence. I have a half a dozen of these speed controllers and It has worked for me every time. I have intentionally changed parameters just to see if I can and it works every time.
No I have to admit Im using another card that is said to be for h-king 10 , 20 35 50 60 amp esc so I thought that was the card I would need , sounds like you do have the correct card then , thanks for the info . just look at the posts and it seems many people must have the wrong card from the description of how they don't work .
so the subject of the 60 amp esc , the one im using will not start to idle till I get the stick to half throttle and then it pulses and only gets smooth if its wide open , it was not doing that before it just started doing it , I tried a couple other esc in the same setup just the different esc and they both worked right in every way so I don't know what's up with this esc but there is something wrong , have you had anything like that with the esc you've used ?
Yes, I tried using the wrong programming card and screwed up the settings in one of mine. This is what I think may have happened to yours. Try to find the list for programming with your radio for this style of speed controller. Most have a selection that restores the default settings. I would try this first. Otherwise wait for the proper speed controller. I hope this helps you. Good Luck!
I had never used the programming card on the esc until there was a problem and then I used it to see what the setting on the esc were and it being the wrong card was unable to see that but it messed up before I ever used the card so something else is the problem there , when the proper card is in stock I will get it and see what I can find out , I have 2 of these esc i bought last year but never used till now . still never tried one of them ., thanks again for pointing me in the right direction with the programming card :-)
You are welcome! Had you run it or used it at all before it messed up? If so, maybe it is just cooked. One thing about these speed controllers, they are very good, but only for 2-4 cell lipo batteries. If you can, be sure and check your amp draw through this speed controller when using it, to make sure you don't overcurrent it. Good Luck!
never had a prop on the motor , just setting up osd and adjusting throttle curves on the bench so its never had any amount of amps through it , using 3 cell, I though I must have throttle curves messed up but when it started to pulse I tried the other esc and throttle curve was fine.
I looked at the setup in the files tab, there is heli stuff in there, also there are steps to restore it to the factory defalt settings. I think I would try the default first and if it works, then you can switch stuff for heli mode. Let us know how it goes!
I dont know Im done messing with it anyway I put a 55 amp great planes esc that I bought back before I knew about hobby king in it and its working perfectly .
actually its not in a heli Im just using heli mode so I can use throttle and pitch controls for pan tilt when I hit the throttle hold switch .
maybe some time I will get back to the hk esc and see what I can find out , catch ya later *-)
running myn with 2700kv with 6x4 didnt do any programing just plugged in and it works fine for my use drawing close to 50 amps and it is holding up fine after 40 or so flights does get warm but that is normal weight is close to 70g for me
mine working now. first set throttle to full down, with trim all the way down, then connect the receiver power. you here two type of beeps, one for number of cells, the other for brake. it auto detct throttle range.
I too have had problems getting motor to run following the instructions on the file tab. The way to do it is open throttle on TX and then connect ESC to battery and power the RX. This enters set up mode on ESC programme.. see the bleep chart on tab. Immediately pull throttle to idle to store the parameters for throttle settings then power down ESC/RX. Ie switch off. On next switch on all should be good!
Hi guys,
Seems like I messed with the settings and now the ESC only delivers 50% of the power it used to have.
I tried resetting the ESC to factory defaults, I tried different settings in the frequency group, battery type and even made a new program on the TX.
Its the same...
If I connect another ESC the motor has full power.
Any ideas ?
And how exactly do I learn in the throttle values ?
I always seem to end up in programming mode directly with throttle on full when powering up the ESC.
you need to set the throtle to full down, when u hear the 1st tone in program mode put the throtle stick to full down, that will set the start point and end point of the throtle, hope it helps :)
My motor wasn't starting until I did that.
I guess it is the called and never explained in the manual: "The routine of The throttle".
Thanks FYP28, very usefull
There is a manual in the Files tab that shows you how to program this esc with a transmitter. It would probably just be easier to use the programming card though. It can be found in the Acc. section on this page.
Hello I have this esc and i plugged it into a Turnigy L3010B-1300 Brushless Motor (420w)
The engine works on the ground but in the air he turns off what should i do?
My plan is to use this ESC with a Turnigy L2855-2100 EDF Outrunner (900w), and a Turnigy 2200mAh 6S 30C Lipo Pack... I am making an Avro Arrow inspired plane that will weigh around 5 lbs.
Here is my plane on Solidworks:
target=_blank>My plane
6S delivers too many volts for this ESC. You will burn out the ESC and probably lose your plane considering this ESC has UBEC which will(NOT) power the servos.

A cheap ESC with much power and functions. Works good and is a cheap alternative to Turnigy-ESCs.
I had to program it with my transmitter, i had no programming card. It has much options to set in programming-mode, but the order of the options is bad, you have to progrogram much options that are very late in the beep-circle, Option 21 and 22 are the Low-Voltage-Options, Option 19 and 20 the PWM-settings.
The beepcircle is very long, and after every programmed option you have to switch the ESC off and on to restart programming-mode to get to the other options.
Option 18 is named "The pros and cons of motor rotation", somehow disturbing. I will not try that, i choose my rotation by connecting the correct cables.
This ESC must show the power in air the next days, but i have no doubts that it will perform perfect ...
Works well, good pricing, used mine in a FunJet on 3S drawing a bit over 50A (static)

So far so good. I tested it with both inrunners and outrunners at 30-40A constant (no air cooling). It was not even warm after 5 minutes. The startup is smooth(timing auto), lipo cutof works as described (reduce power). Seems to be good replacement for plush ESC. Wires could be 5cm longer
