Esc Problems

[ollieholmes 0]

I wanted to get my Escort Cosworth running last night and first of all i had a msc connected and it ran but i could not adjust the trim enough to stop it from running forwards. So i took out the manual speed controller and dropped in a Electron speed controller and then tried to run it but nothng worked, not even my steering. The speed controller is a Mtronics Marine 15 and its Acoms radio equipment in it.

Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this?

if nothing worked, the esc is probably not sending any power to the receiver, or your receiver does not have a battery eliminator circuit inside it.

How are you connecting up the esc?

also, the problem you had with the msc can be fixed by re fitting the servo horn to the servo in the servos neutral position

For the esc, it could be as simple as your switch is messed up. To solve this I just pull the wires out and twist them together- no switch, but at least you can run lol

The ESC is connected to the motor through the normal 2 wires and then to the reciever in channel 2 slot. I think my reciever has a BEC in it. I would prefer to rectify the problems with the ESC rather than the MSC.

Check the esc's connector plug is compatible with your receiver socket. Make sure the colours of the wire are in the same order as those of the servos you've got for the receiver. It could be that the power and signal cables are switched on your acoms set.

Wires on the lead from the esc from left to right looking from the front of the reciever, other side from the crystal are - Brown, Red and Yellow

Wires on the steering servo in the same order are White, Red and Black.
