I'm having issues with setting up my speedcontroller set up. when its all wired together the motors won't move
Sabretooth RC
x2 GRO2s
Spectrum RX
Spectrum DX5 TX
I have new batteries in everything, the RX light is on, but no joy when moving the sticks, am I being a numpty.
Maybe include a picture of the setup?
have you checked if the tx and rx are paired properly
Have you set the dip switches correctly? Is the battery plugged in the right way round?
I don't know, but is the RX/TX brand new?
If so, binding could be the issue.
Plug an old servo into rx with batt of course and see what happens?
Excellent suggestion when testing. Keep a simple servo around specifically to rule out radio problems.Quote:

I have paired the TX RX again
here is a picture, it still does not work, thoughts?
from here it looks like the leads going into the rx are plugged in upside down. the orange signal wire usually goes towards the middle of the rx
Maybe try moving/inverting the servo leads around on the rx, see if its maybe in the wrong channel. Other obvious one, made sure the battery is charged?
I agree with Will, i think the servo leads are plugged in the wrong way up.
But then i don't think the bec wouldn't be powering the receiver so the receiver light wouldn't be onQuote:

I've just checked and it sure is backwards. It says on the RX which way round to put them in so always check that.
This is the reason forums are great! wires swapped around.....motors working :)
Thanks Guys
