Please, for the love of all things Tamiya, help me!

I'm at the end of my tether and starting to lose hair (not that I had much more to lose )

My CC01 build was flying along nicely and then came the electrickery.

Currently trying to combine the following...

Etronix Pulse 2.4ghz 2 channel tx

Etronix pulse rx

TEU-104BK 'The devil's own' ESC

A very cheap, but perfectly functioning servo.

TX and RX seem to bind together as per normal.

When trying to setup the ESC, I can't get it to go into the 'LED double flash' mode when giving it full throttle whilst pushing in the set button.

I have read loads of bits and pieces on all sorts of rc forums about removing the 'red' lead from the ESC to rx plug, as there is a battery lead, so you don't need it. And also lots of things about 'Just keep trying and it'll happen as these ESCs are a bit of a ****** sometimes.

But, alas, it no worky...

I'd love to take this to Wales at the weekend for a bit of crawling, so I need to get it finished tonight.. No pressure!!!

Any ideas welcomed.

Many thanks

Mark

Never had any issues with setting them up myself, but you need to fit a ubec to reduce the voltage to your rx, as the tamiya 101 & 104 dont have bec, your rx is the same as mine and only rated at 6v max.

as for stting your esc, all i can say is follow the manual to the letter and hopefully you will sort it.
