Andy Green Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hmm not sure but initially what radio are you using, if it's Futaba you have to reverse the throttle. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pearce 4 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Gary Check that all cables are the right way (black lead) up in the reciever. Cheers David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Gary do you have experience or are you teaching yourself ? Could get expensive check all connections.Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eflightray Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Also check any instructions/manual for - 'setting the throttle range' on the ESC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly boy3 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hi Gary, yep I agree with eflightray, the esc must be taught where the throttle positions are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly boy3 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hi Gary forgot to mention this in my last post, PLEASE remove prop before making adjustments, as per Tony F's comment, we don,t know how experienced you are.

Allan Bennett Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Continuous beeping usually means the ESC is getting no signal from the receiver, or the throttle setting is not at zero when you've switched on. You say nothing is working. If by that you mean the servos too, then maybe your ESC isn't supplying 5v power to the receiver. Is there any LED lit on the receiver to show it's got power. If not, that could be because the ESC is plugged into the receiver the wrong way round. NB I said the ESC is plugged into the receiver wrong way round -- don't go changing the battery connections to the ESC to try and correct it!! Another possibility is your receiver isn't "bound" to your transmitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
