    Default Swordfish ESC problems

    I can't get mine to arm when using a Hitec Agressor 3 FM. I've tried different trim setting on the throttle channel of the transmitter but can't seem to get the proper response. I also used the programing card to double check the settings but still can't get the esc to arm. I was able to arm it and get it to function with a Hitec Fm air radio so I know there isn't a problem with the esc.
    What am I missing here?

    Did you do the throttle range set-up? Did you try using the reversing switch for the throttle.

    I vote the reversing throttle switch as stated above. I was going crazy with that same ESC and then "click" to reverse and all was well...

    If all else fails, maybe you need a pistix. ??

    pistix changes the throttle range timing. Has nothing to do with reversing. If your radio allows you to set the end point adjustment, increase it for WOT.

    you shouldnt need a pistix. When did you get the esc? There was a firmware change that was done to address a problem like this on the first batch.
