I was out running my proboat formula fastech a couple weeks ago. In the middle of a run it quit and had to rescue it with my rescue boat. I found the solder on one of the ESC deans connectors came undone which is why it quit running.
Move forward, I picked up some new connectors this week and re-soldered all the esc connections, but replaced them with bullets, rather than the deans. I hooked up the batteries and got the normal beeps and steering worked and motor worked, however it was reversed with my remote...so I had to push the throttle backwards to get the motor going. I shut it all off and thought, maybe I wired the motor wrong, so I tried wiring it different and nothing happened, tried again and the same, nothing. I then realized my remote was the culprit and was set up backwards so I reversed it and re-wired the motor the way I originally had it.
Now, when I turn it on, there are no beeps. When I try the throttle I hear like a click click sound, then nothing...try again a few more times and eventually it will do the click click again.
What the heck did I screw up? Anything I can check? I hope I didn't wreck something when hooking up the motor wrong.
Thanks.
