typhoon esc problems
I just plugged my battery in for the first time and all control surfaces work but I have no motor. I can't even get in to the programing mode. I've read the instrutions over and over and I can't get the motor to turn or get in to programing mode no matter what I do. I think the ESC is bad out of the box. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what was done to correct it? Thanks for everyones help.

RE: typhoon esc problems
Not an expert but had the following problems with my ESC..if no response go to your transmitter and reverse the throttle it has a safety built in that keeps it from starting with high throttle so it has to see zero throttle to arm the ESC.. if you have a Futaba the esc plugs into channel 3. if JR I think its channel 1. Make sure the throttle channel end points are set to 100%...maybe this will help

I REPLACED THE ESC TONIGHT AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE ORIGINAL WAS A DEFECT. I PUT ONE OF MY CASTLE CREATIONS IN IT WHICH IS MUCH BETTER ANYWAY. THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT TOMMY157.

RE: typhoon esc problems
I'm glad I put my Castle in it anyway becouse it's such a nice ESC. Now I think I will replace all servos before even flying it becouse they are total junk from the factory from what eveyone is saying.
