Swordfish pro 220a esc throttle programming

[Matt DeMonte]

I have a 220a swordfish esc and a leopard 4082 1800kv motor I'm running 2 hobby people 6500 30c 3s lipos in series..so the esc powers on emits 2 beeps on start up then 6 beeps for the 6s i got to hit the throttle and the motors turns but only at a slow rate Like It's Struggling I Literally Ran ONE Set Of Batteries Through It Since I Got This Set Up On monday!! Any thoughts???

Just a question did you set the throttle channel to " reverse"?, need to do that on Futaba. Also did you check your throttle EPA? They have to be cranked up to 120% on certain Swordfish ESCs, depending on the date of production. They corrected the firm ware reccently.
Just a heads up.
Good luck

I could be doing something wrong but I'm running into issues programming my new ecs. I plug the system in and pull the throttle back and the motor begins to spin. OK good. The problem is the motor does not stop spinning unless I push the throttle all the way to the front. After this all takes place try and return the throttle to the normal or neutral position and the motor spins on its own.

I'm sure this is a throttle calibration problem but now matter what calibration method I try it doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone ran into this issue before?

I am having the same issue with Swordfish X+ 200a-8s cw. I am trying to use Airtronics m11x. and there seems to be no neutral. I have to go full brake to stop it from spinning. I don't know if it is the esc or my tx...I tried it with Sanwa MX6 and same thing, had to "max" out brake trim and sub trim to get it to stop spinning in neutral trigger position. And then I turn off rx and then tx and motor spins non stop until I disconnect batter lead.
