    Seaking 180 problem

    Programmed the ESC. Made a few runs - slower than expected. Temps at 90.
    Cannot get back in to check settings.

    Followed wiring sequence (ESC w/out built-in BEC.) and batteries are charged.
    Looking at flat lines on program card and motor moves when it beeps, when connecting power pack to ESC.

    Lost.?

    Hey.

    Is the esc rx/program plug in the right way in the program box ?
    And is it in the slot at the far right of the program box ?
    Also you can just us a 2s pack to work with when trying to program the esc.
    Have any pictures you could post or a video to see what you are talking about ?
    Are you using the stock tactic tx & rx ?
    If so did you calibrate the tx to the esc first and also set the tx throttle trim switch to R , Before you tried programing the esc ?
    ? ONLY IF THEY WORK

      The slow run was probably caused by the lvc set to high turn it off when u get back in to program it and time your run start at 3 min and stop

        rx/progam plug in far right.
        Using different battery packs.
        Stock tactic tx & rx.
        Calibrated the tx to the esc first and also set the tx throttle trim switch to R , before trying programing the esc. Yes.
        But, I may not have used the "reset" button each time after "value".
        Still unable to get in, motor beeps and looking at horizontal lines on program card.

          You are probably correct - Looked like half power. Will turn off lvc, when/if able to get back in.

            And did you try a rebind to the tx to rx ?

                Is your esc rx plug,
                Plugged in to the program card slot on the right hand side of the card ?
                And the plug wires black, red, white, White wire of the plug on the right side of program card ?

                  All the way to the righthand side - yes, in that extra funny marking.

                  White wire of the plug on the right side of program card - yes. (Red wire cut.) ?

                    No red wire cut,
                    Are you using no bec ?
                    With a separate rx batter pack in the setup ?

                      Yes, using a separate rx battery pack and following wiring sequence for ESC w/out built-in BEC.
                      I read on OSE '...cut the red wire.'

                      Not correct?

                        When doing separate rx just pull the red wire connector out of the plug,
                        Than you can always put it back when you need it.
                        Try to reconnect the red wire and just use the internal bec of the esc and try the program box again.

                            180 with 4 extra cap banks, I think it's a V2.

                              It's a Seaking 180, a recent purchase from OSE.
