leedsrhinos126 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The motor on my sc10 keeps running full power by it's self with no input on the transmitter. It's was fine for around 5 mins use then went loopy. Should mention that i have just fitted a new 120a speed controller all the setting are correct so? Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Have you recalibrated the new ESC with your TX? Are end points set correctly? Re calibrate and test again. Which ESC and motor is fitted? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsrhinos126 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 It's a hobbyking 120a esc with a team orion 4000kv 10t motor. I didn't even calibrate come to think. It did work spot on though for 5 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Always recalibrate when installing new kit, it's the law Why it worked briefly will remain a mystery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Calibrating should sort it out. Other things that have messed me up with electrics include: leaving the receiver failsafe set to nitro settings, so any signal loss results in full reverse..... interesting that one! low battery power Some ESCs insisting you set the throttle to reverse before calibration....

leedsrhinos126 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Right then all was fine the other day i got a good 20 mins use in the garden using 3s and now when switch on all it wants to do is full throttle with no input! The ESC will not calibrate any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Sounds knackered... Have you any other kit you can swap in to see if the problem persists, as in trying a different TX or ESC....? Whereabouts in Leeds are you based, perhaps a local member could assist? I'm not far down the road, in Normanton..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
