Denis Watkins Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Rapid beeping is a high Throttle warning There to protect you at switch on And the motor refuses to work. Check if throttle has become reversed and Check motor wires and soldering 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Ace Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 Chaps. Throttle not reversed or high. I've even copied across a different model with the same parameters as the Fun Fly. Still beeping. Would a defective ESC or motor cause the beeping ?. At a loss noe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 A bad motor wire connection has been known to cause an error tone beeping - check motor wires. It's also been noted that a particular rapid beep sequence is associated with the ESC not communicating with the receiver - check the connection to the receiver. My clubmate (Tosh McCaber on this forum) had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago, which turned out to be a duff ESC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Wire in correct receiver port or come loose ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor wood 2 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Still worth checking throttle trim on the Tx is at its lowest setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to change the ESC to find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 In my experience rapid beeping is the ESC or rather the chip in the ESC telling you it either has a null throttle signal or it the signal it is getting is outside the expected range. Every duff ESC I have had either simply does nothing or arms but then only makes the motor twitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
