New issue Blackout Pro
Hey all. My sons new Blackout XTE pro isn't working and I'm at a loss. I'm afraid this was self inflicted.
We purchased a set of lights for the truck. We got everything hooked up and the lights plug right in to the ESC. that was my bad. I plugged the lights into the bind port.
Anyway, when we turn the truck on, all is well. As soon as I turn the controller on, the servo turns full right until the saver bottoms out on the chassis, the fan shuts off, and the controller does nothing. The truck becomes totally unresponsive.
The lights are not hooked up and I've tried binding them multiple times. This truck has only had about nine battery packs run through and I'm afraid I've toasted it. Any help would be great.

I sure hope so! Redcat felt the same way and sent one out. Just waiting for it to come in. Can I plug those lights in on the fourth slot of the ESC? Is that better than the other one on channel three (bind port)?

Yes it's fine to use the bind port I use it for lights myself. Only time that slot try's to bind is when the two outside pins are shorted together. When you plug your lights in it's only using the power supplied to that slot.
