did you go through the trouble shooting guide on castle website, making sure your drivers are properly installed? Are the boxes in the lower ledt corner green and your getting an error messages or are they red?

For me, I have to plug things in a certain order, especially the CC BEC. I cant remember the order though.

I bet your problem is that you running a BEC (did you take out the power wire from the esc to the reciever?)If so plug your power wire from your esc back into the end. If it's not reading the BEC it bescause the on/off switch is on. You need to unsolder the BEC from the ESC to program it. I had the exact same problem!! | |

Well I've got my BEC soldered right on to my power imput wires (Cleanly) and which eliminates the on/off switch so I just soldered my on/off wire together. So if I want to program my BEC I either have to unsolder my on/off wires or unsolder my BEC from power imput... | |

Ok I messed with it some more and I can get it to work with my front ESC (mamba25) and it works with my CCBEC but it won't read my rear ESC (mamba25). I have this installed in a clod with 8711 up front and a 9100T in the rear, I have the BEC wire pulled from both ESC's and the CCBEC set at 6v when I run it straight it seems ok but as soon as I put it in a bind or steer both axles it surges and shuts down like it has low power......any ideas?

I swapped out the rear ESC for a difrent one so now they both work. Now I'm having problems with it shutting down when to much load is put on the servos. I can have the rig sitting on a flat surface and wiggle the servos back and forth a few times then the REC shuts down and comes back on. I've checked all my plugs and connections and everything is good, so now what am I missing?:-(

Yes it sounds like your killing your voltage.Try to up the voltage on the CCBEC.

You might go to 6.5.as long as your not on the sreering constanly it should be ok.I have mind set at 7 volts.The mpi used up a lot of voltage.I read somewere the mpi used the extra voltage to regulate it.I had a problem with my sub c's not lasting with the mpi reg.
