Esc and transmiter problems
 

Im sure its because im a noob at this but how do i get the esc to reconise my controler (fubuta 2pl 2 channel) i did not even use the stock controler once, because ive heard such bad stuff. I bet theres a trick to geting it to beep but it evades me.


Btw this is for a SV27, brand new, on 3800 DTX's Also i changed the stock servo to and reciver


Thanks a bunch

Are you getting a signal at all from your reciever?

Ok have you capsized the boat,or have you ran it,because I have had the same problems,it is most likely that you will need to send the boat back or take it to your local hobby shop because I had the same problem...took it to my local hobby shop....guy looked at it knew what was wrong and that fixed it:) any other information can you provide me?:D Thanks alot!

You need to turn you throttle trim well in to the negatives for the ESC on the SV to recognize your radio receiver. On my Futaba 3PM, I'm at -45+ trim.

Exactly Ryan,

If you would use Airtronics you would'nt have that problem. I hate Futaba for that issue. Sometimes I can't even find neutral with the sub trim way back on my 3PK , and I have to use my good ol' Airtronics M11 ( The M11 always works for me , best Rx ever made )

Na i have not even drove the boat yet. I cant even get it to beep when i plug the batterys in...does it have to reconise the transmiter before it will beep? The batterys are fine i know...there DTX's 3800's

Yes it does. Play with your throttle trim and reverse (proper way) until you get it to arm.

Alrighty thanks, so If my ESC is channel 2...i need to reverse channel 2, and mess with the throttle trim?

RE: Esc and transmiter problems
 

I can't remember if I needed to reverse the channel on my Futaba radio.
