Title: Merv ESC blinks green once, red twice and then shuts down.
Post by: krish_savage xs on August 29, 2014, 08:33:27 PM
I was driving my merv with 3S and had a nasty tumble  :banghead:. The car shutdown and now it won't start. When pressing the on button on the esc it blinks green once and red twice and then shuts down. searched all over the internet but no solution. i feel the esc is dead.

any other merv users faced similar scenario ??

Are you on the VXL3M ESC?

Could you measure the voltage on individual cells and let us know?

The manual doesn't list what you mentioned in the error codes. That tumble could've damaged the ESC. The 3m is known to be a bit of a fragile ESC.

I'm sorry i did not read your entire post, only the VXL3M part. I don't have anything to measure the battery voltage. But i had freshly charged packs of 2S, tried with them but still the same problem. Batteries are not an issue. I feel the ESC is dead.
