It sounds like you need to adjust your throttle trim.

Do you calibrate it alone before you wired the together?

I had this same issue. I had to sit there for a good minute waiting for it to beep for calibration. Unplug the esc's from the rx, turn them on and then turn them off. Plug them back in to the rx and wait for the beeping for calibration. Works for me every time on Castle stuff. That is when I want to recalibrate and so on. I hope that helps. Got that little trick from someone at Castle. |

Hmmm...they had you heading the right way with checking your calibration on the transmitter and adjusting the throttle trim so that the ESC would arm. Sometimes you have to go through this process with each ESC individually...not with both of them hooked to the same battery connection. At this point...with smoke...it would help to have some pictures showing how things are wired up and such... |

| i figured out why it smoked, i had both motor wires on the motor on ground, i got the front motor and esc to work, this is what happens when i calibrate the rear, transmitter on, holding full throttle it rings four times then flashes red, when i let off it goes to green, i then hold full brake ( push forward) it goes beep 4 times while green then goes red i still hold forward till red beeps 4 times then goes yellow, i go back to neutral and it flashes all lights like its done then just flashes yellow non stop

I had a issue trying to do both hooked up at the same time. I had to calibrate the esc serapetly. Seems with both power wires gettig 11 volts it wouldn't work. The calibration set up is : Disconnect battery Turn Mamba microswitch off Connect battery Mamba flashes all LEDs and rings once Apply full throttle Turn Mamba microswitch on Wait 2 seconds Mamba flashes green led and rings 4 times indicating full throttle measured Mamba flashes red led while beeping, indicating its time to push full brake Push full brake Wait 1 second Mamba flashes red led and rings 4 times indicating full brake measured If that don't work you'll need to didconnect one power wire and try the setup again. Are you useing the castle link to set esc up? |

But he's going to neutral between forward and reverse. Neutral should be the last position in calibration. But yea we need a pic of the wiring set up. One of the red esc wires needs to be out unless he's running the bec to the reciever the both should be pulled. |

Yeah that too...after if find full forward you should go straight to full reverse.

If you had both moter wires hooked up to the same polarity and it smoked my guess is you made the same $70 mistake I did. I think you cooked it my friend.
