Post by: Tricity hobbies on April 05, 2013, 03:47:34 PM read ur esc manual first, try troubleshoot
Title: Re: MT4G3 ESC issue! Post by: iamahuman on April 05, 2013, 04:57:07 PM Make sure your ESC is on channel 2 and your servo is on channel 1.
If possible, power the Rx up with a receiver pack and re-bind your system. Check the output of the BEC on the ESC's leads with a multimeter. Title: Re: MT4G3 ESC issue! Post by: ketan rs on April 05, 2013, 05:15:52 PM @tricity
Tried everything from the manual,nothing helped. The ESC cooling fan isn't working and it gets heated up like crazy.I even get a burning smell from the ESC. Title: Re: MT4G3 ESC issue! Post by: ketan rs on April 05, 2013, 05:22:57 PM @iamahanuman
All the connections are fine. I have 5v reading across the ESC leads. ???.....THe batteries were fully charged. Did i burn my BEC? Title: Re: MT4G3 ESC issue! Post by: ketan rs on April 05, 2013, 05:41:05 PM Even connected a receiver pack....the reciever doesn't turn on!

Title: Re: MT4G3 ESC issue! Post by: iamahuman on April 05, 2013, 06:26:54 PM Sounds like your Rx is toast.
Change it out first and try again. There's no reason the ESC fan should get hot. A burning smell is always a bad thing. It's pretty hard to do so with Deans plugs but did you connect the batteries backwards by any chance? The BEC should be putting out 6V or 5.75V. I doubt it's the BEC though. If an Rx pack isn't powering the Rx up, I'd say the Rx is dead. Likelihood is that you got a lemon. Title: Re: MT4G3 ESC issue! Post by: ketan rs on April 05, 2013, 07:52:12 PM @ iamhanuman
i meant the ESC was getting heated up. Tried with a different Rx,thank goodness the motor/ESC are just fine. But both the servo and RX are completely fried. So much for connecting lighting system to AUX channel,have no idea where i went wrong! Title: Re: MT4G3 ESC issue!

If so, you certainly got a dud. |
