mamba max pro with tekin pro4hd not compatiable

[bikeboy]

ok got a new mamba max pro and a tekin pro4hd 3500k
didn't work, a, b, c are connected correctly
motor stutter and barely move
called catle and they said the esc is calibrating fine and is fine
called tekin they say the pro4hd is pulling too much amp for the mamba max pro to handle
they told me to pull the sensor cable out and give it a try and still stuttering
barely spin, like its ran out of battery
also i didn't hear any beep sound.
by the way lipo 4000c 2s venom is fully charge
using a 4pks and did reverse the throttle in the setting

so is that true that the mamba max can't handle the pro4hd
don't want to buy another esc just to make the pro4hd work
seen alot of people here using this combo

so is it the mamba max pro or the motor
by the way the forth time i try again the motor made a snap "pop" sound electric sound
only once, but no smoke smell or anything

I vote motor......

That motor doesn't even make the mmp sweat. People run mmp's with tekin t8's with no fans

[mark32]

do you have a castle link if so plug it in and take a snap shot of the settings then post them up that will help a lot,

Any sensored motor is compatible with almost any sensored esc (Novak excluded), that isn't your issue. Try switching a&c and/or double checking that a sensored brushless option is selected in castle link.

here ya go
both the mmp and pro4hd are brand new
no idea
kinda disappointed that the tekin tech support guy said mmp can't support the motor, even though I know several people here use it and harly recommend the combo in the wraith thread

anyway
here's what I got

I run the mmp and tekin pro4 3300. On 3s and 4s. Yeah the castle esc has absolutely no problem handling this motor. Check sensor cable. Try different sensor cable. If you have another motor try that. Sounds like the esc is trying to power up the motor but the motor no like.

I run a pro 4 hd 550 1850kv with a mmp on 3c, and 2. I love it. Best setup I've owned

going to grab another brushless motor and verify its the motor that is defective
another thing I notice is the no beep sound when starting up and also the fan on the mmp kicks in on high when I pull the throttle

[bikeboy]

damn
got a tekin redline motor and it work fine with the mmp - heard the beep sound on startup
didn't hear that at all on the pro4hd
so basically the tekin tech steer me the wrong way
the pro4hd I got was defected from the start
gonna return it to tekin for them to fix or replace it

I see on your sheet that your motor type is set on smart sense. I have the mmp ROC 412 2100 and I had to set the motor type to sensored. The only time my mmp fan acted up on high was when my sensor wire was not fully pushed in.

[rcmedic]

When my mmp first comes on the fan comes on, but the first time i give it throttle it goes off.

mine too

I have one MMP that the sensor plug broke off the board and I soldered back on. it runs fine sensored but the fan runs 100% of the time now.

I would rather mine run on low 24/7 not stay off, turn come on high

Im running the MMP w/ Tekin Pro4 4000 and a Venom 20c 5000mah 2s. When I first installed the combo it did the exact same thing the OP describes. I adjusted the timing to "0" and swapped the A/C wires. My two cents would be swap the wires, try it. Then if all else fails check to make sure all 6 sensor wires are intact.

Just ordered my HD

[ik632]

The sensor wire doesn't seem to push into the MMP very well either. You will want to use a small screwdriver to make sure it's seated all the way. Just DON'T PUSH TOO HARD or you'll break the plug off like I did. Mine might not have been soldered too well, but either way, be gentle, but firm.

old thread i know QQ

I ran the MMP with a pro4hd 4300 for about 7 months, no issues whatsoever. Had to switch A and C wires (always a must for castle esc and tekin motor), but ran completely smooth. Had it in a Losi SCTE pushing hard around the track week in and week out.. still works like a charm. MMP finally died when i let a friend try it in his rig. Dunno what he did, but doesn't work anymore.
