    ESC Problem (Need help)

    I got the Hobbyking Seaking 180A ESC a while ago. I have been building my boat up from zero and so far the motor and ESC did great... I got a new remote and receiver and put everything together but I was having some issues with the fact that it was going on reverse the whole time. I programed my ESC to do forward and reverse. (I have two batteries, two esc, and two motors) I read is better to only have one ESC giving the electricity to the receiver so I took the + (positive) out of one of my two ESC. Now I connect the batter on my main ESC (the one with the + to the receiver) and it beeps like not told on the manual. I connected my second ESC (the one with no + to the receiver) and same thing with this ESC.

    The beeping is (a sound) ♪ - beep - -beep beep- -beep beep beep- -beep beep beep beep-

    Can someone help me figure this out plz.

    Sounds like you need a Y servo splitter so you can run both esc's off channel 2, then your pulling power from a shared channel

      I do have it like that. I connected both with a Y... I got it back now working but I connected them now nothing happens, the motor wont count the cells and when I give some throttle it goes full power by itself and i almost have to apply full reverse for the motors to stop... What u think

        well, first of all we need to know what kind of radio you're using, and I don't know if it will matter or not but what reciever are you using ?. I would start by going back to basics. Radio depending, reset your expos, trims & sub trims. Then go thru the process of resetting the throttle range settings. You'll find the PDF manual in this thread ....
