[Erin]

Is it shutting down and then momentarily rearming, then shutting off again?

[Meatwad]

Also which leds? Green led during forward throttle and red for reverse but no motor action?

[Pegasix]

all 3 leds light and flash no beeping and the fan does not spin when i first hook up a batt the fan twitchs but thats all # leds flash and do nothing BUT flash the bottom of the case feels warm aswell

[Meatwad]

"Flashing all colors = speed control is not receiving a valid signal from the receiver, usually indicates the receiver wire is plugged in backwards into the receiver; possible problem with controller or with throttle channel on receiver."

i just tried the esc again the bottom gets warm just sitting there no load on it or anything.

as for the RX the i just tried the sr300WP and an sr300 the LED lights but its VERY DIM ive tried a few batteries 2 and 3s and one that literally just came off the charger same thing.

the heat coming from the bottom concerns me as ive never noticed this.



an ideas as to wtf is up?

[iceman320]

I think i would give castle creations a call and tell them what it's doing and see what they say.

[Pegasix]

ya im going to call them in the morning and go from there i purchased this 02/19/2013 so im assuming there is some form of warranty

Is your MMP in sensored mode only and is youe sensor wire in all the way on both ends. I run the MMP and Roc Combo also and my MMP fan goes nuts when the sensor wire comes discunected.

[Pegasix]

i cant even hook it up to my castle link it wont do anything

[Charlie-III]

I would double check:

Bind TX to RX
RX connection to ESC (make sure it's tight & not backwards)
No shorting of any power wires
Good solder connections

Read the doc Meatwad linked.........

[hatefulboy]

Three things to try.
1st try to rebind it.
2nd use a bec
3rd make sure you have a good solder joint on the motor wires.

[Pegasix]

im running a BEC pro with the mmp my solder joints are good as i am currently running this with a tekin rs until i get the MMP situation sorted out. the RX is working and bound to the radio ive tried it with 2 differant spectrums and my 4pl its still doing the same thing and it smells like burning. the bottom is getting hot and i have contacted castle to see WTF is up

[toyota2]

I think that maybe you just got a bad MMP. It sucks but it does happen. I just recently got mine working and I was actually nervous to plug in the battery for the first time because of stories you read but so far so good.

Hope you get it sorted out soon.
