seaking 180 esc not working...HELP!!

[785boats]

Have you tried moving your throttle trim down or up. That some times is the problem. It's not reading zero on the TX. It's happened to me.
Cheers

my swordfish was doing the same thing twitching, these are all made by hefei? look down at my thread ''any swordfish 240 hv users'' I tried everything then 'disar' posted to set my throttle trim 25% B and hold until it beeps 4 times then go to nuetral it worked!!

[britscoot]

Yeah tried almost everything!

Its only futabas that require rev throttle.I tried it anyways.
I'm using spektrum dx3 tx and a mr200 rx which work well with my other seakings.
My brain hurts now and i have to admit defeat.

[britscoot]

i still think if its NOT working with the program card its got a major problem.

I hate this esc....lol

thanks for trying guys!

Have you tried a different motor? You could also disconnect the motor from the esc, leave it for 5 minutes or so then reconnect & redo the calibration. Is this a DX3S transmitter you are using?

I'm running the same esc with a dX3s & have no issue. Be sure that your ESC receiver plug is plugged in the right way round. What is the receiver doing? is the light steady or flashing?

[britscoot]

i have tried a lot of different combinations,motors,rx etc
Using the DX3e with other esc's no problem.The tx is bound to the rx and the steering works.
So the esc is providing power to the rx but all i'm getting is a green flashing light.
Did i mention i hate this esc for giving me grief.

Sounds like you should try a different motor as Simo71 suggests.

[britscoot]

things i have tried.
different motors,rx's, battery voltage etc.
I must correct my previous post,i'm getting a RED flashing light,NOT GREEN.

when i connect it to the program card,nothing on the card lights up.
This esc has won!
I hate to give up though.

Bummer

[simo71]

Did you go over the things I mentioned? With that radio you need to check all your switches are in the correct place. The 180's are a good ESC, perhaps you could try another ESC from some where else & see if motor etc operates as normal.

Also what slot are you using on the program card?

britscoot, it is time to end this frustration, shipped in four days from OSE, an ETTI 150.....these puppies are precious. BG

i have the seaking 120 also and had no problems with my DX3e.
I didnt have a problem setting that one up.
If you have to jump through hoops to get an esc to work,then its not for me.
All you should have to do is program and go.
I am using the right hand slot on the card as per the instructions but nothing lights up.
I just think i have a bad unit.

With a light tester make sure the white wire is sending signal. Check that it's not pinched or frayed.

I just finally heard back from the place i got it and they are going to exchange it.

Thanks guys for trying to put me out of my misery.

Your the best!
