Hi Guys, need help. Went to the flying field today with my newly completed FT Racer with "the Beef" power setup from Lazertoyz. I have a Spectrum DX5e Tx with a ARE 00 RX. I plugged in the new ESC to the RX throttle input and plugged in battery. Tried servos and working ok. Tried motor and nothing happen. After several min of scratching my head I realized that I plugged in the ESC input into the RX backwards. I disconnected all servo leads, extracted the power pod and tried correctly inserting the Esc lead to the RX and reconnected the battery and turned the transmitter on. Waited and noticed the RX light blinking and the Esc started to beep continuous for a bit then started to do a sequential beeping. Needless to say I looked up on several forums how to resolve and all answers pointed to resetting the Esc to the RX and tx. Tried the full throttle back down to zero throttle and followed Dans recommendation from Lazertoyz to setup the Esc and nothing has worked. I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
BTW: I extracted the exact same type 30amp Esc from my spit powerpod and got the same exact response. Beep beep but no motor turning.
What exactly happens when u incorrectly connect the Esc input into the RX pins backwards? What would cause it to not work as before? Same RX worked just yesterday on my spit pp. Thanks again for any and all answers.
