Title: Re: Help needed with electric setup Post by: Sumeet on January 13, 2011, 10:07:02 PM connect ur Rx to esc and batt. only then u can know. Do what the Crazypilot told... This is the only way to check... If your esc is turnigy's or hobbyking SS series, then connect ESC, Rx and motor. Then turn on the Tx(Remember to set your throttle stick to zero). Then finally connect battery. you should hear a tone pattern if everything is right. I don't have used other esc's. So, I don't have knowledge about other brands. Thanks...

Crazypilot if i connect esc to rx and rx powers up and servos run fine does this mean that the esc is fine as well? Is it possible to have a situation where the BEC part works fine but the Brushless part is burnt? Title: Re: Help needed with electric setup Post by: Sumeet on January 14, 2011, 05:03:15 PM It is possible. My ESC also burnt but the BEC part of it is working still good.
