Im running a 1500ahm pack and a tq3 reciever with a 20 turm moter. I tried to set the moped but it doesnt work

. when i turn it on the moter doesnt move like its supposed to. It moves when I turn it off:-( . The light wont go off when I press the set button. The steering works. What should I do?

cartronicshn · 08-30-2006, 12:48 PM

is it hooked up to ch2 on your receiver, i was in such a rush myself that i had hooked up mine on the batt slot

, check your connection first.

revoster · 08-30-2006, 01:05 PM

It is on the second.
Are the wires black to black on the moter?
but before I did that I moved the throttle stick to see where to plug it in before I set it. with the thing on. at first the moter did move when I turnd it on. now it doesnt. I never pressed the set button. Did I break it?

cartronicshn · 08-30-2006, 01:50 PM

no, try resetting it, also see if you plugged in backwards in the 2 slot.

revoster · 08-30-2006, 01:52 PM

How do you reset it?

cartronicshn · 08-30-2006, 01:56 PM

follow the same instructions for initial set up

Dan-Mel · 08-30-2006, 01:56 PM

Just set the neutral, full and reverse like you should have done when you first set it.

Double J · 08-30-2006, 01:59 PM

I've had the same problem and did the reset thing but it won't reset. Light just stays on.

I'd also like to have some help on this.

revoster · 08-30-2006, 02:23 PM

I have the same problem as double j. The light wont go off when I press the button. Is it returnable still?

cartronicshn · 08-30-2006, 02:52 PM

guys i had one of my mopeds do that, i did reset like 4-5 times until it worked, the only other one that failed on me just went up in smoke but it was a lousy connection on my part.

revoster · 08-30-2006, 03:07 PM

How hard do you have to press the button?

cartronicshn · 08-30-2006, 03:09 PM

it's a micro switch so it shouldn't be to hard unless it's defective

, try pressing it a little more firm, don't know what else to say sorry.

revoster · 08-30-2006, 03:22 PM

I was pressing it kinda hard is that bad?

Unholy · 08-30-2006, 03:23 PM

is the button coming back up?

revoster · 08-30-2006, 03:28 PM

i cant tell. It doesnt do any thing when I press the button but goes down a tiny bit. It keeps doing that so I would say yes. And when I turn it off the moter moves. but not when I turn it on.

revoster · 08-30-2006, 04:33 PM

Wow I got it to work. but the on/off switch doesnt turn the light off. Is that normal?

Unholy · 08-30-2006, 04:34 PM

That happens to quite a few ESC when the battery is low...

revoster · 08-30-2006, 04:39 PM

In that case how long should I charge a 1500 somethin pack on quick charge. Untill warm? also my moter is running real weak and making dinging sound. When I set it up(finnaly) it worked and went really fast. What is it?

revoster · 08-30-2006, 09:26 PM

Well now my battery is fully charged but the moter still wont turn fast. When I turn it on the moter doesnt mov like its supposed to ,or move a tad bit, or jump move fast and I see a flash of light. The moter turns very weakly. And when I press the set button the moter doesnt turn like its suppoesd to. What is wrong?

Sounds like you may have a bad unit, that sucks!
