| Sidewinder SV2 problems
Ok so I burnt up a motor the other day so i decided to switch out motors. The sidewinder SV2 is a month old and now i'm having problems. I touched the wire leads to the replacement motor to make sure it will run. It spun forward and backwards. So i mount everything up re calibrate the esc about 15 times now and the same thing every time. Calibrates with no problem. After the calibration is done and i restart all of my electronics the green and yellow led flicker out of control. And no response to the motor. the leds will not even change with the throttle just keep on blinking green and yellow real fast. If i reverse the radio the lights will blink green only and slower when i throttle up it will blink red. I have tried three different batteries. I have done an entire programing setup to make sure it is on brushed. Any ideas gentlemen. |

Based on this..... Castle Creations | FAQ: 1/10th Scale Products (bottom of page) flashing green & yellow is LVC (low voltage cutoff). Is the LVC set in the ESC? What battery are you running (voltage/cell count) Does it do the LED flash with other battery packs?? |

What doesn't make sense is that when I tried the replacement motor before installing in the rig it worked. I recalibrated after installing to assure full potential of the motor and them it quit.

Let me throw this out there, you recalibrate the esc to the radio, full throttle, full reverse, etc., epas 100% trim 0 and normal all channels not reversed? you get the programming set of sounds the first time and you wait a couple of seconds maybe more then you get the second set of sounds fro confirmation and then you use the throttle, lights but no go?
