RE: Problems with 3PK / ESC combo
Krista:
I have done some futher testing. Any transmitter set-up variations will not work. What the problem is, when I plug in power, the esc will power up but the constant yellow light will not stay on. At this point I have steering but not throttle. I have discovered that if I simply pull the esc plug from the Futaba receiver, plug it into the stock 27mgh receiver that came with the car, (with the stock radio turned on of course) the light will come on. If I then quickly remove the esc plug and put it back into the futaba receiver, the Futaba radio/receiver combo works perfectly. If I unplug power at this point, the combo will work again only if I replug power withing 30 seconds. If I wait longe than that, I am back to square one.
Any Ideas? I am beginning to think this esc will not work with either PCM, fail-safe, or both. I do have the fail-safe inhibited.
I would buy a new non-pcm receiver if I knew that would solve the problem. Do you have any electric car guys that you can run this problem buy?
Thank You
