Put the + wire back in the plug, leave the castle bec connected, and power everything up.

If it works then you can either pick up a new bec board or just run it with the external bec.

Could be the switch or button is buggy. Its pretty rare but it happens. Power it back on and work them around a bit, see if it comes to life.

I will have to look, but I may have a switch I can send you if it does...

I popped the internal BEDS in both of mine, unfortunately it took two ESC before I figured out it was a bad battery. ..

How did your battery cause the BEC to go bad? That's weird.

[Docwolf]

Bad cell, spiked voltage. All I can figure.

I did mess with the button , turn it on and nothing until i press the button and it will blink a red light until i touch the cal. botton again and then it goes off and nothing.
I took it out and want to send both of these burned up esc's back to stan.
Maybe he can use them and give me some credit of a little bit anyway.
Im lost. or if someone can use them pm me with any offer and I'll send them

I just picked up an LT4, but can't get it to program. I have the Castle USB setup, has anyone used this cable with the Brushless Hobbies software successfully? It also came with a hobby king program card, but it only shows dashes when plugged into the ESC. I can't get it to change anything. I just emailed Stan, but figured I'd throw it out here as well for some help.

Castle link won't work. Need the the BLH one.

Thanks for the quick answer on that one, it solves one problem. Anyone have an idea why the hobby king card isn't doing anything? I don't have a motor wired up yet....if that has anything to do with it. I have two hobby king cards and neither one if them are able to change anything.

[Docwolf]

.....because you need the BLH adapter. ....

Maybe I was falsley under the impression that it can be programmed with the hobby king unit. The exact unit is sold on the BLH website and it came with the ESC, although it was purchased used and NOT from BLH.

This is the one you need

It can only be reprogrammed with the USB adapter. The programming card only let's you change parameters of the program that is currently flashed onto the ESC.

There are two different versions of the programming card, make sure you are using the right one.

Edit: I don't know that the Hobbyking card will work properly...I've only ever seen the Hobbywing v2 cards be compatible.

Guess I need to order up then. Thanks for the help.

Hey, guys.
I got my LT4 newer edition 120a a while back from Stan, and never got it installed until now.
AWESOME. ESC.
The programming software mated seamlessly with my old XP pro computer, and hooked instantly with the esc (once I realized I had to turn on the esc...) and then I set up everything. It's a dream.
Despite the warnings, I'm happy to report that on 2s 4400mah 40c power in my 2 speed scaler it has no issues being plugged into a Novak 13.5t crawler sensored and still use reverse. I have my drag brake set on 40% and the throttle setting put to instant reverse, and it's all great. Really great.
The ESC makes a tiny pause on its own between full fwd and full rev but it does both well, and zero glitch or odd stuff. Perfect.
Thanks, Stan and team for putting this out. It's a great product for my needs, and has tons of jam. I'm running it with no fan attached (for space reasons) but in this application it won't make any heat anyway. The bec on the ESC is powering the RX and the LED light controller, and that's all.
