new speed control broken???

[rockford]

So I just got a revolt and soldered up my battery connectors and i put my futaba 4pl radio in and went to test it out and it beeps when you turn it on and when you hold the trigger it pauses and beeps like it says in the manual then does not do the 3 beeps and wont arm it self has anyone had this issue? i called auqacraft and he said it sounds like the speed control and is sending me a new one with no questions im happy about that but am i doing something wrong?

Mess around with your end point adjustments.....might fix the problem.

If I'm not mistaken, the tactic radios must be set to reverse and throttle trim all the way up with the aq esc. And I believe the futaba radios require the same thing. What's your throttle channel set to?

[Heaving Earth]

And you calibrated the radio to the esc right? I know it's obvious question but hey I gotta ask

With the aqua controllers it calibrates to your radio every time you plug in, that's why you need to go thru the "arming" sequence every time.

Like other have already mentioned; If your using a Futaba radio you must reverse the throttle and then you will need to mess with your end points until you, not only get the prop number of beeps, there is a proper tone you should be hearing too (higher pitch is correct tone).

Oh yeah I forgot, it's been so long since I've had an aq esc. Heh

I plug in batts, wait for the RX to pick up signal (evidenced by control of servo). <Motor Beeps> - Pull Full Throttle <Motor Beeps Once> - Push Full Reverse <Motor Beeps Three Times>
No sure if I *need* to full rev, but it worls for me.

If it's anything like the ul1 controller, you may have to do the servo reversing for the throttle as mentioned above plus you are going to have to play with the Neutral trim or subtrim before you find the sweet spot where the controller arms.

I did do the servo reverse on my controller but didn't work I will try the other things mentioned tomorrow I also tried the traxxas controller I have and that gave me the same results except two times when I tried it without reversing the throttle it spun the motor full throttle and had to quickly disconnect the battery's

i tried doing what you said with the full reverse the manual does not say that but here is what is happening i plug the batteries and do full throttle it beeps then full reverse it beeps then full throttle and beeps 3 times and sometimes when i mess with throttle trim it will engage the throttle as im letting of the throttle after the third beep but once you move it like a quarter throttle nothing will work

throttle set to reverse, throttle trim kranked. plug in esc, beep, pull trigger to full, one beep, release to nuetral, 3 beeps, now its done. is this what youre doing with no success?

Now you have me wondering .... I never connected a battery to mine yet. Only had it out of the box to remove the prop for S/B. I bought mine as an RTR, so, when I get home tonight, guess what I am going to do . My PB Impulse 31 arrived with a bad rx that was stuck in bind mode ... would have never expected that, so getting a bad esc is not that much different, just a "different" piece of electronics. Glad to hear that they are sending new one without a lot of drama.

if i only pull the trigger once to full throttle it will beep but when i release to neutral it dont beep i have to do full reverse and it will beep then full throttle again then three beeps and when you let go to release into neutral it bumps to motor over and then nothing. I usually have good luck with my r/c stuff the only other time i had a problem was the day i got my summit i was driving if and for like the first 5 min and noticed the the front diff was messed up well the pinion sheared where the driveshaft bolts but traxxas sent me a new one asap

i guess stuff happens when they are mass produced lol oh well im still waiting for my grim racer balancer anyways so its not going to be used regardless. next i think i will get a pb mg2 its such a sweet looking cat

Ok, plugged in batteries and it works fine
