power pack twin C ESCs not working in tandem

[Sahilpatel2006]

I have a twin otter, with the twin C power pack. I'm testing the electronics and the ESCs aren't cohesive. I checked the motors by switching them to the esc that works the way it should and it was fine. The 'bad' ESC doesn't start until about half throttle and seems weak at full. I don't know if its just a bad ESC or if it just needs to be calibrated or reprogramed some certain way. Thanks in advance.

I did also do the same thing for both ESC's startup wise.

It needs to be calibrated, turn on your transmitter, set it to full throttle. Then plug in your battery (props off!) you should heard some beeps, then bring throttle back down to zero. Do this with both esc’s.

I had already tried it, but i ended up figuring it out. I turned it on with transmitter at min throttle, then went full, still not calibrated, then went up and down at a fast-ish rate and it calibrated.

Thank anyways though

Yup! Though in the future I’d still go for the method I mentioned, it’s a more sure-fire way of doing it 👍. Just make sure you don’t have the props on just in case 😂
