Program ECS help
 

I need help with a Thunderbird 9 speed control, brushless. The motor would not run at full throttle only 1/2 throttle so I though I would re program it. BIG MISTAKE. Now it will not enter the program mode and will not recognize the 3 Li-Pol cell. It only continally beeps what Castle calls "the first multi tone ring"
OK I am a newbie but need help.
Thanks
Stan

[8D]I have not heard of a thunderbird 9 speed control, but you did mention castle.
Is it one of theres ? What are you using for control? Computer radio, standard, three or four channel.
If it continualy beeps, the controler probably isn't even. getting a signal.
What current are you drawing, motor and prop combo? need more info!

It is a Castle Creations new item Thunderbird 9 brushless controller.
I am using a Futaba Skysport 4 channel radio
I really do not know what current is being drawn
Motor is a Himax brushless outrunner hc 2808-0980.
If I can not save this esc I will purchase another perhaps you can suggest.
I am just dying to get this plane up
Thank you for your support

What prop and batt. are you using? You should be able to get the USB cable to program it with your computer.
