    Question HobbyWing Seaking-120A/Turnigy Marine HELP !?

    HobbyWing Seaking-120A/Turnigy Marine HELP !?

    Second run on this ESC, it stopped in the middle of the pond, no response, at first I thought I had a radio problem, but then I was getting a response, but weird, like my input was delayed, could just get it back to shore.
    I checked the radio all is OK.
    But now the ESC is brain dead, I get a beep interval of about 2 seconds (according to the manual a signal problem)
    The internal BEC still works
    I checked output signal on the RX, is OK
    If I connect the ESC to program card I can not program anything.
    I tried re-calibrating, but I can't even get in the set-up mode.

    Known issue? Any fixes?

    Edit:
    Also: It's not been under any stress at all, still setting up my new tunnel hull so it's under-propped and on 4s instead of 6s.
    System is literally running cold. Not a drop of water in the hull either.

    Bugger! I have an sk90 that died dead, in a miss elam, pb 1500kv motor, I thought I'd give it a go on 6s, two laps and nada. It may just be a dud, in which new esc will fix the problem, after all they are not very expensive. I have wondered if mine could be brought back to life with some new caps though. Hopefully someone else might have a better theory for you though.

    Not an option for two reasons, 1) not very economical given the cost of postage vs cost of item.
    2) I modified this one from new, no warranty (see http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1840066) post#52

    UPDATE;

    Not a drop of water in the hull I mentioned in the OP, but after cutting the heat shrink open I noticed there was moisture inside the ESC. After spraying with CRC and blow-drying VOILA she came alive !! All good.
    Will shrink it again and seal the ends with silicone this time. I thought I did but "in the heat of finishing" must have forgotten.
