Default help programing ecs !

OK, so i finaly got my ecs connected to my receiver, it turns out u needed this on/off switch just for the receiver. soo i am trying to program it its a teu-101bk it came with my tt01d and i have the receiver that came with my mx-3. when i folow the directions to program it it says to push the set button once and the leds flashes it does that, then it says hold down the throttle and press the set button and it shouls start flashing two times in a row.... it does that. but then it says press reverse down and press set and the led should shut off and it should work, but when i do it the led just keeps flashing..... idk what to do, what am i doing wrong? man i wana use this thing so bad

Are you sure the tx throttle trim is set at neutral? If it's off it will not program.

If it runs forward when you pull the trigger then the servo selector (normal / reverse) is right. On the tx there is a way to set the throttle to neutral and if that's not in the neut. position most esc's won't program. Do you have any directions for the radio? Do you see a knob marked TH?

You have to make sure the th trim is set to neutral. Try setting it in center first and if that doesn't work try different spots and then try to program the esc

Do you by chance have the reverse locked out on the esc? Try this..........with the esc turned off push and hold the setup button then turn on the esc.... after about a second release the set up button. This is how you turn on and off the reverse on that esc.

Did you try the full forward, full reverse set up procedure after turning on the reverse? What radio do you use?
