Resever update

[Kingscx10]

Ok so if you all was following my troubled truck I have a weird prob I have steer an no throttle I switched the plugs all around an still the same thing I don't have another to test it but I wanted a 4 channel anyway so I bout a spectrum kit but I don't rely know if a new tans an receiver will cure it ? Any input will be highly appreciated

Are you sure the ESC connector is plugged into the Rx in the proper direction? Is the radio properly calibrated to the ESC?

[Kingscx10]

Yes sir it is. It's drivin me insane

[Charlie-III]

Did you calibrate the ESC to the radio???
Very common problem.

What ESC?
What radio did you have?
What rig?

PS, I believe you mean "receiver", not "resever"....... just saying......

Stock every thing an scx10 honcho

If you bought a 4 channel Spektrum radio then I think you got ripped off since there is no such radio...

Have you tried putting power directly to the motor? Just tape a 2-3 AA batteries together and touch the motor wires to the + and - on your makeshift battery. If it spins you know it is ok.

Are there any lights on the ESC doing anything as you try to go?

[Kingscx10]

Sorry not a 4 channel it's a dx3. An the motor works fine as for the esc it has a solid green light an a rapid blinking red one it doesn't ever Change under throttle an brake I have volt tested every thing an has power to the lot an every thing looks good number wise to my knowledge so now I am thinking maybe the stick transmitter has wigged out ?

Are you sure you have calibrated the rx/tx to the esc?

I think that it is not getting a good signal but then it should as your servo works. The fact that your servo works is a sign that your ESC is connected properly as it is powering the RX and servo.

Something is fishy, check out your manual and see what it says under troubleshooting for the blinking that you are seeing.

Have you checked that the motor runs off battery power like I suggested?

Post #2, #4 & #8.......still no answer.....

Anyone have a clue what is "stock" for SCX10 Honcho ESC?? (I know I could look it up, I'm not going to).

[Kingscx10]

Motor is fine just got the dx3 in just a little bit ago I linked every thing up an same story got steering no throttle an I have tried to calibrate the esc but can't even get into the calibration mode ?

[hoghead5150]

when you hook the battery up, does your esc chime?

[Kingscx10]

Yes but it stops after that an dosent make the linking noise when the controller is off

http://docs.axialracing.com/instruct...01-ae2-esc.pdf look at this it may help

[Kingscx10]

Yea I ran across that I did every thing it said but still no throttle I have power every where but t just wont go :/. Fml

[crashlot2]

It sounds like the ESC is not calibrated , my scx10 did the same when I first got it. It took me 3 trys to get it calibrated.

[Kingscx10]

It won't even let me in to calibration mode

[Charlie-III]

OK, you say you've calibrated the ESC, then you say you didn't. I will assume it's not calibrated.

Here is a Castle ESC FAQ.... Castle Creations | FAQ: 1/10th Scale Products it will help with troubleshooting the LED's.

When you calibrate ANY ESC:

1-TX throttle trim to "0" (including subtrims if you have them)
2-TX throttle EPA's (if you have them) to 100%
Castle ESC's are next......others may have a button on the ESC to press
3-Turn on TX and hold full throttle
4-Power up ESC
5-Wait for Chime
6-Hold full brake
7-Wait for chime

You're done.
If this does NOT work but you did steps 1 & 2, try reversing the throttle channel in the TX and do steps 3-7 again.

Let us know.

I calibrated it the first day I had it to turn the lipo saver off an adjust the drag brake an then again cause I got a lipo then I went back to the traditional batt an did it again then like a week later it went hay wire an no throttle every since
