| Sidewinder assist
I have a SCX-10 with a sidewinder ESC CCBEC wired to the Hi-Tech 645 spectrum radio gear and I had a 27turn axial motor and 3racing winch. Well I changed out the motor to a HH 30t and after I hooked it back up the sidewinder just beeps and the green light flashes. I hooked the ESC up to my castle link and reprogrammed it....No luck. Tried to hook up the old motor and still no luck, it does the same thing. Everything else sill works steering and winch. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Brandon |

A little more messing with it, when I pull the throttle the yellow light flashes 3 times then goes back to green flash.

try recalibrating it. the green light flashing means it thinks you are giving it throttle so it wont finish starting up.

With the esc off hold full throttle on transmitter while turning on esc, wait about 5 seconds then go full reverse wait 5 seconds then go to neutral wait 5 seconds and try.

You need to adjust the throttle trim on your radio. If you dont have it set to neutral, then it wont allow you to calibrate the ESC...

Ok I just think its jacked. I hooked back up the castlelink again and redid all the settings. Hooked it back up and I got the usual beeps, so I think sweet....... Well I pull throttle and all 3 lights start to flash and the motor just runs wideopen. Pulled battery and rechecked all settings, they were still good. I think the germlins have attacked it. |
