Default ESC Issues

<span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Arial">
Everytime i turned on the tranmitter, the motor rev up until i the pull the trigger then release it. It happens on HobbywingSeaking 90A Brushless and the Traxxas EVX 2. Did ido something wrong??? I can't program the Seaking to run in reverse although i followed the instruction. Anyone with a seaking please give me advice.

Also, home come this motor so cheap??? Quality any good?

I think you need to reverse your throttle servo direction.

Those motors are O.k. but, you do get what you pay for. The sealed red coloured ones may be a bit better. I have a 6XL from them and it seems nice... never ran it yet...

BIGTHANKS,BACKEMF! Setting the throttle to reverse resolved the motor spin-up when i turn the tx on andno reverse issue.It is a little strange though, since i think pulling trigger back should be for forward.</p>

Did you turn the receiver off first and then the transmitter?

Always unplug the battery before shutting down the transmitter. It should go forward when you pull back on the throttle - if it's reversed you have other issues. Seaking esc's have never given me any problems. Sdg

Sundogz, i set the throttle in reverse and PUSH trigger forward to do the setup and then SWITCHthe throttle backto normaland it worked. It is crazy.
