I can't get mine to arm when using a Hitec Agressor 3 FM. I've tried different trim setting on the throttle channel of the transmitter but can't seem to get the proper response. I also used the programing card to double check the settings but still can't get the esc to arm. I was able to arm it and get it to function with a Hitec Fm air radio so I know there isn't a problem with the esc.
What am I missing here?:help:

Did you do the throttle range set-up? Did you try using the reversing switch for the throttle.

I vote the reversing throttle switch as stated above. I was going crazy with that same ESC and then "click" to reverse and all was well...

If all else fails, maybe you need a pistix. ??

I try reversing the throttle.
Don't know why I would need a Pistix.?

the 240hv needs more than 55% between wot and center off
set wot endpoint +10%.. and try again.

pistix changes the throttle range timing. Has nothing to do with reversing. If your radio allows you to set the end point adjustment, increase it for WOT.

you shouldnt need a pistix. When did you get the esc? There was a firmware change that was done to address a problem like this on the first batch.
