|  Mamba Micro HELP
hey .... ive been running dual mamba micro pros since october in my xr-10 with HH 45T's and a CC BEC ..... red wires pulled out and the switches are soldered together in the board so here's my problem ... got me my vanquish cases and plates installed ..... spaced up the pinions ... and did my looooooong throttle tests while holding the rig up just to see if the motors and cases would heat up (just to check if the pinion spacing was too tight) ..... while doing this .... my front axle just kept on turning even after i let go of the throttle .... pulled the battery out to stop it .....  plugged it back in and i only have one esc arming and beeping ..... the front esc which kept throttling away wont engage .... it just keeps on blinking red ...  ive tried removing the wire which goes to the rx and tried plugging it back in again (this usually works for all castle esc's) .... but it still doesnt want to engage ..... i need your help ..... anybody have issues like this before??? |

The neutral point for your front ESC is wrong. You need to adjust it on the radio a bit until the light on the ESC turns off. Sounds like you may have the throttle channel reversed too. You want green light with forward throttle and red light with reverse. |

Make sure it is plugged into the RX properly then. Fast red flashes indicate no radio signal. Other than that, try rolling back firmware and reinstalling. If that doesn't work you may have a bad one. |

yes its a fast red blinker .... i tried switching Rx's .... same thing ... i'll try to rollback the firmware .... question is i got this thing soldered up all together with the BEC running with the battery wires all soldered together .... do i have to unsloder them just so that i can use castle link? worst part is i removed the on/off switch .... the castle link doesnt recognize the devices cos they all power up simultaneously Last edited by strawb; 03-09-2011 at 11:36 AM. | |

Try re-calibrating. I had issues with the rear ESC not wanting to drag brake, and it was because the epa's were too high.

tried that earlier ..... the rear esc would re-calibrate .... the front one just ignores everything and keeps on blinking red | |

To be able to recalibrate your gonna have to separate them and i would do it alone with the red wire hooked up.  | |
