Default Multiplex ESC failure. (Solved)

Hi people,

Im having some trouble with my new speed controller.

- The Setup -
Reciever: Futuba FP-R138DF (Dual Conversion) 40MHz FM.
Transmitter: Futuba Fieldforce 6 (50th Ripmax Special Limited Edition) 40MHz FM.
Speedcontroller: Multiplex Pico-Line Control 400/20/12 BEC
Motor: Permax 480
Battery: Multiplex 9,6v/800mAh Ni-Cd

Problem:
Speed controller wont budge, but BEC is active. Battery is full and healthy, and motor is tested and in working order.

Its a standard Pico-Jet Combat set except for the radio gear. Ive had multiplex stuff on my reciever before, and it worked just fine.

Does anyone know why the ESC wont move the prop, not even an inch?

Grts,
Sven

Try reversing the throttle channel. That's a common oversight on Futaba radio systems. The throttle channel works in reverse on Futaba.
