AE-2... Is it pooched?

[UnlimitedJDB]

I am suddenly having issues with my esc. It will only turn the motor one way and the other just makes the motor humm a tiny bit. I have recalibrated 100 times, nothing changes. I tired the same rx/tx and motor with another esc and it was fine. I'm stumped... Is it dead or am I missing something?

Best to get a Castle Link and check all the settings before giving up on it.

Sorry, should have mentioned that. I did hook it up and it was all default

Make sure its set brushed reversing, and that you have at least 40 percent reverse power in your settings menu.

Check and check. Like I said, its set to factory defaults.

reverse ch2 on the radio and see if it still does the same thing going forward now, reverse the motor leads and give that a try, check another motor with that esc and see if it does it still, if you have tried all else, then i guess it´s toast

Yeah I did all of the above..... Sounds like it's scrap.... the only thing I havn'e done is recalibrate with a different rx/tx
