    ESC trouble!

    I have just put a Blackjack 26 motor and ESC in my Titan 29. I have one problem maybe 2. I am running a receiver pack in the battery channel but if I disconnect the red wire from the ESC plug then I get no power for the ESC.

    If I plug in both the red esc wire to the receiver and also the separate battery pack the ESC arms and everything works. If I do one or the other nothing works. I should also mention that the on off switch from the Proboat ESC is missing not sure if that would matter?

    It seems everything is working fine but I'm not sure if my receiver is just waiting to fail on me. I can't run without the external receiver pack right now but I also can't remove the esc power wire.

          My thoughts too. But the pics would help us to see if that is the case.

                The BEC stopped working somehow. It was working perfect in my Blackjack day before yesterday then I swapped it out last night and put it into my Titan and it quit working. I joined the on/off switch wires with no effect. They are separated now and everything works I just know it's not the way it should be.
