Brushless problem

[Niels - Team K.a.L.M.]

I think you wired the motor wrongly. When you add power it turns a little before beeping.
Have you tried disconnecting the motor and just test it with a servo or anything else you know works.

[JamesDavies]

So wire a servo where the motor is now? Should I try switching the wires round on the motor?

Is there any way to tell which wire should go where?

Your thing is plugged into the RX the wrong way round. It seems to be on even before it has bound. Try it and see.

And when you turn the cable around hold the trainer switch while powering the TX.
Perhaps you never really bound your system in the first place.

Back to your servo question, just put the servo cable directly into your receiver in the same slot your esc is in now.
If I saw it correctly it was connected to the throttle channel which is the lever that you can set to a specific setting without it selfcentering.

(I do apolagize if I sound like I'm talking to a child, I just want to make it as basic as possible for I do not know how much experience you have with RC equipment.)

[JamesDavies]

Harry: I tried flipping it round and there was no power to the rx at all :/

[harry hills]

That's really odd. Is it all bound correctly yeah?

[JamesDavies]

Yes, I've rebound it a few times to be sure, but when I switch the Tx on and off the light on the receiver goes on and off accordingly. I'm guessing that means it's bound?

Ahh- when I plug a servo in it just shudders and grinds when the Tx is switched on, but doesnt respond to the Tx...

[harry hills]

Humour me. Stick the bind plug in, and then power it up the opposite way to how you are doing it. See if it goes into bind mode.

[JamesDavies]

The Rx doesnt go into bind mode like this (just tried it)

Is your transmitter Mode 1 or Mode 2? Your ratchet stick is on the right but if the TX is still set for Mode 2, the left hand stick up/down is your throttle channel, into which your brushless ESC is plugged. Try powering up the setup with the left hand stick in the fully down position, or change the ESC plug on the RX to the ELEV position, and power up with the right-hand stick fully down.
