|  Dual Sidewinder ESC setup Questions (Nomadio React)
So, just installed a second ESC (Castle Sidewinder) into the berg, and cannot get it to setup. The original ESC setup fine. I plug the second ESC into the CH2 slot just for setup, and it wont program to neutral. It appears that the yellow light also does not flash at all upon start up on this new ESC. Any ideas? Thanks! |

Do you have both power wires from both ESC's going to the RX? Do you have a Castle link so you can hook the ESC's up to your computer? Post up a pict of how you have it set up and I can get you fixed up  |

OK Both ESC's power leads are wired together along with the BEC power leads to a dean. Dean plugs to 3S Lipo. BEC powers RX. Both ESC's have power wire (red) pulled from RX plug. See if this pic works. THANKS! EDIT 2: The yellow light NEVER comes on on the new sidewinder. It seems it may be programming, (minus the yellow light visual clue). I have power running to motors from both ESC's now. BUT, the new ESC is MUCH MUCH slower than the old, both with identical settings and linear curves. Doesnt matter which motor they are hooked to, the old is still faster. EDIT: And I know it looks like a rats nest, for now : ) And yes, have the castle link Last edited by brettjord; 06-01-2009 at 09:03 PM. |
