    Swordfish 220a pro with Traxxas Spartan radio - full speed by itself

    Hello.

    Product: Traxxas Spartan
    Radio: original TQI (Traxxas)
    Esc: Swordfish 220a pro
    Batteries: Gens Ace 3s 5000 MAH (x 2)

    Have tried the following:

    Radio - held the buttons "set" and then "on". Then it starts flashing red.
    Boat: Connected batteries and held the button on the reciever. One beep and both units light green.

    Then I test the rudder with the radio. Works. Then suddenly begins motor at full speed by itself.
    What is the reason?

    Thanks for reply!

    Did you set your endpoints? I don't know how the sword works, but EVERY esc I have ever used in all parts of the hobby has throttle endpoint calibration. Did you try reversing the signal? That's a common occurance when swapping surface esc's in my experience.
