BR-mini won't Arm

[Colgout]

Hi I bought a pro rig with dual BR-mini, when I got the rig, it worked fine for 2mins, then the rear motor stopped. I thought was the LVC cut in because the battery is not full. So I proceed to strip down the rig and rebuild it.

Now I have rewired and rebuild it, the rear ESC wont arm, it beep a little but not complete. The green led flashing. I swap ESC and motor and Rx port, problem lies with the rear ESC. I also have a little play with the dead bandwidth, no avail.

What could be the problem? Where can I find a list of HH ESC LED indicator flashing definition?

Maybe you could contact HH and get a replacement, eh? Hmm..how old is that ESC?

[Colgout]

Not sure, it came with the rig. Ok will try to contact HH. But I thought JRH will be able to see this thread and shed some light here.

JRH doesn't spend a lot of time on the forums.

Did you buy the rig with controller? If not and using your controller, I'd try calibrating the ESC's to it. Trims at zero/neutral.

I try to calibrate with it, it won't go into calibration too. First 2-3 beeps, both red and green lights flash, then just flashing green light. I have now removed this problematic one and test it by itself with different RX all with zero trim.

Can't get it going.

Well, going by Castle's error code chart, throttle EPA's aren't high enough. If you're at 100% now, try 105%.

Not sure how close Castle's error codes are to JRH's mini, but his ESC's have been based on Castle circuitry in the past.

What radio, I am seeing an issue with hacked Gt3bs and the full size Esc. I found playing with the trim during arm gets it to connect. But then the trim is off.

Blinking green = forward throttle signal. It won't arm until it sees neutral, adjust your trim for the channel.

I tried 100% to 110% on throttle and same thing, no change.

I use 4PL the other 3 BR-mini I owned have no issue at all.

I tried Backward trim every 5 level till 100, still the same. I even tried forward trim too, same same.

Actually the green light blinks very quickly to almost constant. I have taken a little video to show what happened when I plugged in with zero trim and 100% EPA.

Try another channel to see if it will arm like the other, still points to neutral trim being off. Be sure you didn't reverse a mix or something. There are radios where you can't hit proper neutral without flipping the channel or mix.


If that doesn't work, send it in with the information requested on our site warranty tab.

Try channel 1, 3 and 4 with neutral trim and all, no different, guess I will be sending it in.

BTW, where can I find a list of definition of the LEDs? It will solve a lot of problems just by knowing why the LED is flashing.

We have a troubleshoot on the instructions

I see it needs some clarification, I'll work on that

Also, in Australia you can use one ten crawlers for faster warranty service.

I have already contacted highlucks (cameron), i have also written to your shop and jonathon is looking into it. Thanks.

And thats why I'm not really needed for tech support anymore, but sometimes I have the time to try anyway!

I post here just to make sure is not something simple, and if it can be resolved, others can learn it too.
