hello guys,
I have a MT4G3 and am facing issues with my ESC.I connect my batteries and turn on,i hear the 4 beeps from the ESC( I use 2x 2s Turnigy 5200mAh 30C Li-po batteries) but the receiver doesn't turn on and both the throttle and servo do not respond.
please help me out! :banghead:
read ur esc manual first, try troubleshoot
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.

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.
@iamahanuman
All the connections are fine.
I have 5v reading across the ESC leads. ???.....THe batteries were fully charged.
Did i burn my BEC?
Even connected a receiver pack....the reciever doesn't turn on!
as u r saying tht u smelt a burning fumes from esc. plz unplug all connections. chk other forums as well for the answer
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.
@ 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!
Were all the connectors hooked up with the right polarity?
If so, you certainly got a dud.
