Some problems.

[Eggy]

Just recived some upgrades to my BJ26. After changing the prop and doing some other small stuff i decided to try it out in my garage, just to check that everything was OK for the weekend.

This is here that the problem starts. I have no trottle at all. At first when i powered it up i got no beeps from the ecs at all, i have controll over the rudder but no respons from the trottle.

Then i tried to use the programing card, maybe it had lost the settings, did everything as i'm supposed to and got 1 beep from the esc to confirm that the settings had been done, but still no respons from the trottle. Every now and then after plugging out the batteries and hooking everything up again i get 4 quick beeps followed by a number of short single beeps, when trying to hit the trottle nothing happends.

I flipped the boat twice last run (about 3-4 days ago) but becouse i had taped it good there was less than a tablespoon of water innside the hull, and a couple of drops inside the radio box. It also ran great after the flips.

Any ideas guys?

That is bad news - I am not much help but I hope you get things sorted out.

[Eggy]

Yea realy a bad time, just got the props and everything was set for some first 5S runs, and this happends.

Darn if the bloody ECS is busted, then i have to wait another 2 weeks.

I would check to make sure that the ESC is plugged into CH2 on the receiver and that the connections aren't corroded.

[Eggy]

CH2 is plugged in and is not corroded at all, the connectors is shiny as new.
Have also tried another receiver and same problem so that is not the case.

What about the 4 quick beeps followed by a number of short beeps, never happend to me before so must indicate something.

[domwilson]

You may want to call proboats tech support.

[kookie_guy]

maybe it doesn't like the 5s?? don't know.

[Eggy]

Have not hooked up the 5s yet. Right now its running all stock when it comes to the batteries, reciever and ECS.

Have been on wait for 30min at proboat, so will try again tomorrow, meanwhile all help is appreciated.

Thnx

Try to reset the esc hold full throtle when you turn it on then unplug it. After that reprogram the esc.

[Eggy]

Nope, tried to reset the ESC and then reprogram it again. No results.
I will call Proboats Support when they open,

it's just that its so damn expensive to wait 30min before coming trough when calling from Norway.

holy cow. It would probably be cheaper to just get a hydra 120, lol. Then you will have a solid ESC.

I know, hang up after waiting for 30min last night, becouse of the time difference the clock was like 01:30 in the night here, just waited another 40min now, but did not come trough.

I'm not sure that the problem is the ESC might be something else so just gambling on a new ESC sounds risky.

Any other ideas guys?

Do you know anyone that has a spare ESC that you can try out. Easy way to elimiate whether or not the ESC is the problem.

[Eggy]

Nope, have another ESC but that's for brushed motors.
Will go down to the LHS tomorrow and try another ESC.

[domwilson]

Do you have another motor?
