    Programming aquastar 120 a esc??

    I am having a hard time trying to get this to work right. I didn't realize when I first turned it on I had to calbrate the throttle so it's all messed up. It won't let me recalibrateit. Is there a reset button or something special I have to do to recalibrateit?and exactly how do iget to the program mode so I can do my lvc and what not? I read the instructions but doesn't say how to get to the program mode. Help would be greatly appeciated. I order the USB programmer but it's Gunna be a few days tillit gets here.

      Turn it on w/ full throttle applied... also, tap reverse to move to each section (I had to do that on one of mine but not the other?) Also be sure if your using Futaba you set teh throttle to reverse operation.

        I did try to turn it on again with full throttle but all it did was give me three beeps again. Can I program the throttle with the USB link thing?

          Are you using a 3S batt? Just curious if thats why your getting 3 beeps. Not sure about the USB link as Ive never used one.

            Before you put that thing in water, check the water taps. They are loose from the factory and will leak and it'll fry on your first run.

            ... ask me how I know.

            I recommend some threadlock too.

            FYI- I had to reverse the throttle and hold it all the way forward to get it to calibrate. It seems to only like the 70/30 neutral setup as well.

                  Do I need to have the battery connected to the ESC in order to program this with the USB linker?

                        Make sure you are on the right COM port. Check under Device Manager for the linker and see what port was allocated. Alternatively, try changing ports until you get it communicating...
