Pixie-7P Won't Arm Anymore
I asked this on another forum, but wanted to make sure I did not ask the wrong group, so here goes,
I have been flying glow for 30 years, so go easy on me. To introduce myself to electric I thought I would start small amd bought a Stevens Diddlebug. I also bought a GWS LPS B2C-CS geared motor and am using a Castle Creations Pixie-7P ESC. I had this thing setup and working fine, but the receiver lost the transmitter signal due to the transmitter batteries being low (OK, I forgot to charge it). Now all the ESC does is continuously blink the red LED and does not arm (two beeps). Any help would be appreciated. Oh, I am using a GWS FM transmitter and cannot set the end points. (I think)

RE: Pixie-7P Won't Arm Anymore
I told you guys I was a glow guy and did not know squat about electrics. Anyway, it turned out that the little electric motor went Tango Uniform. After swapping out batteries with no success, I swapped out the GWS LPS B2C-CS gear drive unit and it works like new. Will be putting a heat sink on the motor now so it may last longer. Whew. Sorry to put out the question before I knew what the problem really was.
