Trailmaster BLE Pro Issues I don't know if this is directly of fault with the Trailmaster BLE Pro, or a different fault. I have had it on my rig for about 6 months now with no issues. It runs a Holmes Puller Pro BL 540s 2700kv on 3s lipos. I recently unplugged it from my normal motor in an attempt to see if my friend's brushless motor was alive or not. The motor (Castle 1410Y 3800kv) wouldn't even spin a full rotation before it stopped. Then I connect my motor back up to it and plugged the battery in and it started to fry the Tamiya connector. I cut off the connector and replaced it with a deans and the esc flashes red. And then the Battery started to smoke. Hasn't swollen up yet. I have never had these issues before. Is it something with the Esc? And before anyone says it, yes I know I shouldn't had tried the motor out on my Comp rig ESC. |
Re: Trailmaster BLE Pro Issues It's weird because The power leads on the battery to the Esc get hot and the Lipo Alarm goes crazy. |
Re: Trailmaster BLE Pro Issues Sounds to me like the friends motor fried your ESC.... Time for a new one.. |
Re: Trailmaster BLE Pro Issues It's dead... I would suspect that the motor is dead shorted across at least one pole. |
Re: Trailmaster BLE Pro Issues Awesomeness, Well I guess it is time to get another Esc now, I figured it was but I wanted to get someone's opinion on it anyways to make sure. Thanks |
Re: Trailmaster BLE Pro Issues I believe you needed change the ECS's settings before swapping motors FM: HH's BLE pdf instr. https://holmeshobbies.com/downloads/...structions.pdf Brushed Motors o Using a Castle Link, set Motor Type to "Brushed Reversing" o Connect the ‘A’ wire to the positive terminal of the motor. o Connect the ‘C’ wire to the negative terminal of the motor. o The ‘B’ wire will not be used. Wrap with electrical tape to keep clean. Brushless Motors o Using a Castle Link, set Motor Type to ‘Smart Sense Brushless o Connect all phase wires to corresponding wires on motor A > A. B > B. C > C. Sensored Brushless Motors o Connect same as regular brushless motor. o Connect sensor wire to sensor port on ESC and on motor. o This plug is keyed for installation in only one direction. |
Re: Trailmaster BLE Pro Issues just bought the trailmaster BLE pro and cant seem to connect to the castle link, I don't see the item that is listed but they say it can connect? |
Re: Trailmaster BLE Pro Issues If the battery started to smoke I would toss that too, puffy or not I would mess with it. If noting else I would suggest at least doing a capacity test on it an monitor the battery tems in a safe place expecting it to burn up. I'm not saying the battery caused the problem. It seems like there are less then desirable fault protections in RC electronics. Too often I see chain reactions of one part burning up another. |
Re: Trailmaster BLE Pro Issues The OP is discussing a situation from 8 months ago - however we have a new post from someone else asking how to connect the Castle Link to a Castle Link-compatible Holmes brushless ESC... It would have been best to start a new post in their case, to avoid confusion. I have programmed a couple Castle ESCs, all you do is insert the Castle Link USB adaptor into the ESC, the micro-USB end of the cable into the Link and the other end of the cable into the USB port of your PC running the software from Castle - and it only works on Windows. The ESC doesn't need to be connected to anything else for this to work, it doesn't need power - the LED should show green on the Castle Link itself when properly connected. If it doesn't recognize the ESC, you may have a crap cable - or a loose connection, or a damaged/defective Castle Link USB adapter. It should tell you on the Castle software pop-up screen what ESC it has detected, if it doesn't I'd contact Holmes Hobbies or Castle Creations. I've done a Mamba X and a Mamba Monster X and it was a nice and easy process - if you have issues, that's what their support numbers or email addresses are for. |
