I'm really new with electric boats and the new equipment today. I thought that I was about ready for a test run within the next couple of days and then I did some final testing.
First here is my setup Futaba 2.4G MX transmitter hook to a Castle Hydra HV 180 to run a NEU 1515.1Y. I setup the Castle ESC using the Castle Link software and everything went OK there. I tested my throttle at that time and was getting a steady light on the ESC at full throttle. Now in my final test, everything hooked up, when I powered up the receiver and turned on the transmitter the motor began to run immediately. As I pulled the trigger to full throttle, the motor turned off, when I released the trigger the motor ran again, and when I pushed the trigger to the "brake" side the motor rpm increased (apparently full throttle). I'm thinking that I have some setting on the transmitter set incorrectly. Is any one familiar with this setup that could give me some ideas?
