KYOSHOKEV Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Hi guys i have an almost new 150A hobbywing Xerun ESC & Tekin 2150 motor my boy was using it in my losi 8ight today at our local track when the car came to stop out on the track assumed it was the battery so back to the pits change of battery 4s. Turned the esc on the reciver lights up and the fan on the ESC comes on but there is no lights or beeps and the ESC wont power the motor. Is the ESC fubar ???? or is there a way to fix it ???

Oh How Original Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 A friend had this recently, did you try something as simple as binding it up again? He did and it worked weirdly! Different ESC but might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 i've had this happen on many of my cars aswell, for some reason re-calibrating the esc fixes it, worth ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yep i had a Xerun from MS not so long ago that would lose its lvc settings and run the packs to 4.0v and cut out returned it and it was replaced to then get one that wouldn't save its calibration settings and then got that replaced. This new one is fine so far so maybe there was a faulty batch floating around ?? try recalibrating it and resetting it and rebinding it you never know you may get lucky !!

Saabmania2 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hope they are not faulty, I've just ordered one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYOSHOKEV Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Tried to rebind the speky that didnt work it runs the servo fine but still nothing from the ESC and when i plug in the program card in the the ESC it just comes up connecting and then does nothing else. I now have 2 xerun ESC`s that are fubar 1 powers up but no beeps and the other powers up with beeps but wont connect to the receiver due to a blown internal BEC Looks like i`m going to have o buy a new ESC Has anyone used one of these before ?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400761394043?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&var=670305099552&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Edited September 22, 2014 by KYOSHOKEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Can't you just use the one with a blown BEC and run an external BEC instead ? Got to be worth a couple of pounds to try if you not got one ? I used that esc and hated it but others like them, me I'd never buy one again !. The LVC needs setting per pack not cell but the programme gives out per cell not pack or something like I just found it a bit of a pig to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Solder the bec into the ESC wires Kev, then remove the pin with the red wire from the ESC/Rx connection, which in effect takes the onboard bec out of the equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Guide here if you get stuck and hobbyking do some for just a few pounds or eBay http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/107870-bec-faq/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I`m still well into my infancy with electrics i wouldn't even know where to start changing a BEC over i only know that much because a friend told me lol Would just be a case of unsolder the old BEC and putting a new one in its place ?? I have a HW 150 Amp Pro ESC that lost BEC power, that was annoying and weird because from day one I'd used an external uBEC for the aux electrics. Anyway, because I already had the uBEC connected and working, I simply reconnected the Red pin and all was well again. It's still going strong over a year later.
