Today my GEICO arrived from OSE.
I installed the optional flex cable and Octura x642.
Then I rebound the receiver with my DX2S and programmed the ESC with program module.
Battery Type: Lipo
Cutoff Voltage: High
Cutoff Tyoe: Idle
Brake: On
Timing Low
Throttle Curve: Logarithm
Now once I connect two 2S batteries and switch on the ESC, it beeps once and after a few second, it beeps five times.
Is it normal?
Thanks in advance,

YUP! That's a good sign... go run it!! I think the ESC manual tells you what the beeps mean. Something about the number of cells or the timing setting or ?? I can't remember exactly 'cause I never pay attention to that.

Darin,
What settings do you have for your esc?

Darin,
What settings do you have for your esc?
Battery Type: Lipo
Cutoff Voltage: LOW
Cutoff Tyoe: Slow Down
Brake: OFF
Timing: HIGH
Throttle Curve: LINEAR
Please keep in mind... I'm racing. I don't run more than I have to to complete a 6-lap race, plus run-up and cool-down lap, and any penalty laps that I may incur.

Thank you for your comment.
I read the ESC manual again and found a description for Timing monitor in the Motor Timing Adjustment section.
It reads:
After the first "beep" wait 5 seconds (keep the throttle in the neutral position).
The controller gives 5 sibngle beeps for soft timing or 5 double beeps for hard timing.
I also set the throttle curve linear and the brake off.
Thanks again,

It depend on where your settings are... I think it only beeps more if you set the timing to high or something like that.
