When you pull your trigger back forth, does the color change? Hold full throttle while plugging in your esc to battery after it beeps hold full reverse once it beeps again let off so the trigger is center it should beep again, then arm. On the initial pull (full throttle) the led should be green, if its not then your need to reverse the th channel | |

Also, make sure the throttle trim is "0" and throttle sub trims are "0", read the bottom here.... http://www.castlecreations.com/suppo...mamba_max.html | |

| Like this? I did all of the graphics for a guy in Las Vegas. Liked it so much, I decided to do one for me. Losikid, any chance of being able to get a Photoshop template of the skins, once developed? Or, allow us to design our own and then upload them to you to have them made? I've seen some gaming console skin sites that do that. |

OK, I checked trims and they are at zero. Not sure about sub trims though. I also reversed the chanel. All yielded the same result. I plug a battery in (on off switch was disabled) and the starts to chime and almost instantly starts flashing red. I know it worked with my spektrum setup so this is simply a setup issue I think. I will switch the esc to chanel 1 and see what happens.

Well. I am an idiot. I called Castle and the guy was listening to the chimes on the phone and what not. He quickly told me to pull full throttle. Chiming with a green light started. Flashing Red. Pull full brake. Flashing yellow. Leave alone. Viola. So sorry for being a moron. Thanks for the help regardless. That beings said I am always impressed with the support from Castle. We pay a good bit for the products but they always offer great support if you ask me. RickM |

You are correct to a certain extent but what is weird is this calibration would not work if I was holding the trigger while trying to power up the esc. It had to power up first than I had to pull the throttle. The guy at castle said that it was a weird thing and started to explain it but I kindof zoned him out. Regardless it is all worked out!

Alright. I was a little worried I might have been bighting off more than I could chew and now I am thinking I am close. I got home today and the flash kit was in the mail. Thanks losikid. Now I have installed the pins. I have downloaded the st visualizer( I double checked the settings on it). I have plugged in my radio. I connected and went open the file to flash with, and this is where I get lost. I am only wanting to focus on 3ch for now. I have no idea what file I am trying to open as it looks a lot like code to me. Can someone point out which file I need to be looking at? Thanks guys.

Ok. Be patient with me!! When I pull it up it is nothing but rows of code on a website. Do I just do a edit copy etc on that?

Awesome. Thanks a million. I think it worked. At the bottom it is saying file successfully loaded and then checksum...... When I click on program the st visualizer keeps freezing up and becoming non responsive. |

Did you reboot your computer after stvp install? If not try that. If you have, then try downloading/installing the Patch thats also mentioned in the install manual. | |
