I have a Spektrum DXe with AR620 receiver, FT 20A ESC (power pack A & F) LIPO 2S - 4S, Beta FPV 850mAh 3S Lipo battery 11.1V 35C/70C and EMAX MT 1806 - 2280 KV motor. The ESC is plugged into the 1/DATA port on the RX.
I have the TX driving the servos correctly with no problems at all. However, the motor is a different story. It stops with the throttle down, but runs slowly and with a pulsating, jerky motion when the throttle is pushed up. It never reaches any worthwhile speed, nor does it run smoothly. I’ve tried calibrating the ESC with the TX, but it doesn’t change behaviour. I’m wondering whether the ESC requires programming or other configuration, but I can’t find any instructions to this effect. It would be great to have some documentation for the ESC to tell me how it’s supposed to work and what all the beeping means!
Anyway, the most urgent thing is to figure out what’s wrong and how to fix it. Help / advice please!
