Hi folks. I recently got a mini Vortex here on OSE and something is wrong with the ESC. It wont arm and if it dose it will run one lap and quit. The ESC beeps like its in programing mode or perhaps the low voltage cut off is set wrong?

The entire set up is stock. 1500 MAH 3 cell 25C battery.

I have the receiver ballooned so its not wet.

Prop shaft also fell off first attempt at a run. Lucky the water in Tahoe is nice and clear So I was able to find it......

The quality of this boat seems very nice, I sure wish I could play with it.....:doh:

Thanks for looking.

Would anyone be able to name the ESC or link me to a TX programing guide(For the ESC)? The beeps sure sound like they're trying to tell me something....

Thanks again.

Did you buy it in the swap shop or new? If new, contact Steven at OSE! Sounds like the esc is hitting Low Voltage Cutoff

I did thanks, Steve is working on getting some instructions for the ESC. Hopefully someone has already figured it out....
