Another problem

[shawnboat]

Hey all again

I am having a problem with my leopard motor. When I plug it in, it continuously beeps. And the shaft wont move at all. The battery is fully charged. I made a little video

I plug in my motor and I get nothing at all not even beeps so you are one step ahead of me....
You plug the motor to what, battery, just like that???
You can't do that!!!
Try to connect the motor to ESC that is properly set up for the battery you are using and make sure your receiver and transmitter are properly set up with your esc...

It almost looks like you dont have all the wires hooked up but I can't really see them well enough in the vid. Post a pic of how you have everything hooked up

Here is a picture of the set up. In the instructions it said the ESC should beep with plugged in, and its not beeping (just the motor is beeping)

Check that your throttle trim on your TX is set to zero. Also, in your picture the ESC isn't connected to your RX, make sure that is hooked up.

The esc never beeps. The motor does however...

Correct

hobbywing seaking 130A-HV ESC

Does that esc have a bec built in? My guess is no.

EDIT* Just checked. It doesn't. You need a rx pack or external bec to power up the rx.

According to the specs ive seen on the Seaking 130a esc theirs no bec.

Another Seaking 120A with problems

Hello
As an unwanted following to the above situation, my esc/radio started today to act strange:
When I connect the power the engine is beeping continuously like the transmitter is not started and is not detecting the lipos.
However the radio is working and matched between them.
And to be even more strange the throttle (engine ) is not working while the servo is working fine.It is possible that the throttle on tx is not working anymore?
If i put the engine/bec on 3'rd channel (used for binding) suddenly the esc detect the batteries and start running at high power, continuously.
On this stage I can not control the throttle.
Until today everything was running ok.What am I doing suddenly wrong?
Is the tx/rx faulty?
Please advise me if you have some experience.
The ESC is this one:http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=8946
The tx/rx: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...Ch_Tx_Rx_.html
Thanks a lot

When mine did that I disconnected the battery, hold throttle wide oped and connected the battery again whike holding and reprogram the esc, just a thought.
I dont know whats going on with t120 I think I may have burned them up becauce when arming they program just fine and power the rudder but not the motor and the esc gets hot just holding it.
one esc ran away like you said and started sparking before I could disconnect the battery, now I'm alittle woeeied about trying them again and see if there still working, never had any real problem with them befor but I do push things to the limit.
first the bec stoped working on 5-6s then it seemed that things started going wrong,
I am going to get another t120 and also a t180 very shortly, I hope you get yours sorted out, but try and reprograming it. Good luck

Hello
I have made some more testing last night and I am almost sure that it's a radio problem.
When i put the bec on first channel (servo channel) the esc is arming and I even can program the esc byt using the wheel instead of trigger.
In the same time, the servo connected to second channel (bec's channel) is not responding at all using the trigger.
So, as conclusion, either the trigger from tx is not working or the second channel (bec channel) of the rx died.
I do not have any experience with tx&rx systems, but do you guys thinks that is possible? Please advise.
Regards
