NEED HELP WITH ESC ???????
I have a bluebird 15 amp esc that I need help setting up. As I advance the throttle stick the light on the esc starts blinking faster and just as it go solid the r.p.m.s decrease just a little bit and this happens about one-third throttle is there any way to adjust the esc........
thanks, Mark

RE: NEED HELP WITH ESC ???????
There is nothing wrong with your ESC. The problem is with your battery. You're trying to draw more Amps from the battery than it can handle. What battery, motor, gearbox, and propeller are you trying to run?
An ESC is basically nothing more than a fancy ON/OFF switch. It doesn't regulate the current, or limit it in any way. Part throttle is simulated by switching on and off at a very high rate of speed. As you advance the throttle, the motor is on more and more during any given time period, and the Amps drawn from the battery increase.
