    Seaking 120 help

    I got my order from OSE thanks btw very quickly . In it was 2 -120 amp Seaking's esc , i got it all wired up with a c/c bec and a leopard 3674 - 1700kv motor on 2x3's 5000 for a bench test , all went well .I unplugged everything . i went for dinner came back to test again , motor dose not turn , servo works , i changed motors same thing , on that same set up i took a T-180 and all is good , is this new esc junk , i rebound all , reset all , esc seems to get warm from me pulling the trigger & the beep beep sounds ......any help would be great .

    Your Seaking also has BEC built in. If you hooked it up with an external BEC, the two are not playing well together. Either remove the red wire from the ESC or discontinue using the external BEC. I hope you didn't fry the internal BEC in the Seaking with both hooked up, but it's possible.

          Well just too let yous know , i hooked up the 2nd ESC i got from OSE , bench tested it and water tested it . I took it to the lake for a test . With in 1 min run time the boat seemed rather slow then a strange noise came from the boat the 2nd esc has stopped working , shipped it all back too OSE , now we wait $415 order up in smoke , I believe that this 3674 1700 kv motor took out both esc's . This motor was brand new from ose too . Or is it possible 2 esc are NFG .

                  I run that 3674 on a T-180 with 5S...a 120 might not be enough...
                  I let the dogs out...

                    Why do you have four plugs going to the rx ?
                    Also what connectors are on the motor with the very small jacket on it ?

                            He is running 5s. 2sx3s 5000's according to post 7.

                            Something is up here.. Operator error ? Thought savage has been around the block a couple times.

                              Post #7 says 2 X 3S - at 3.7V nominal that's 37,740rpm. With a P220 that may draw more current than a T-120 is comfortable with.
