Randy or anyone in the know,

I just got the FX-r for my F104 due to the size. It was running a RS Pro before without problem. I copied the settings over to the FX-R but it will not run.

The version is #30. When I power the ESC up, the lights all come on (dimly), but the VC LED is flashing a brighter red. I am unable to get it into the radio calibration mode after this. The steering servo works fine, but no response from the FXR. I have tried several other Lipos, but nothing. I have tried changing the cutoff with the hotwire to off and still nothing.

Is there someone who can point me in the right direction.

Thanks Brian.

Check to make sure everything is wired properly. Also make sure it is plugged into the reciever correctly. Sounds stupid, seen it happen.

I did check that. I even swithed the motor leads to see if that helped - but nothing. The ESC does get power, just no way to get any response so far.

Thanks Brian

Try going into the hotwire and restoring it to an earlier version of the esc software. Then re-update it to the current software.

What motor are you running?

Try reversing the throttle.

Tried all of those and still nothing. I restored to the ealier version and even tried resetting to the default values. Still doesn't want to work.

The motor is the silver can that comes with the F104 Pro.

OK, just re did the soldering on the motor and battery leads and still no difference.

Help???

Brian, you said you copyed your brushless speedo settings to your brushed speedo. I'm assuming you did this with the hotwire thingy, so I don't see the brushed speedo working with a brushless program.

I don't know how those tekin's work, to much to mess with. Thats why I stick to LRP's, just push a button to make a change, no need to carry a laptop.

Scotty the hotwire is for all there newer speedo's im almost positive

I understand that, but why would a profile designed for a BL speedo work on a Brushed speedo. I think you would need two different programs in the computer to work with the speedos. Like KO had VFS Mgr for the brushed speedos and now the BMC Mgr for the BL speedo.

Like I said, I don't know how the tekins work nor do I want to know!!!

Yeah but he was running his rs in brushed mode. So the settings that he ran on that he put on his new speedo I would assume. So everything was set up the same. Thats how I remember it working when I looked into it

Yep. The RS Pro was run with the brushed settings. The program on the FX-R is really a different program, but it still sets up with the computer. It's actually a 3.0 version I think, not the 200 version of the RS Pro.

I can plug the RS Pro back in and everything still works fine, but for some reason the FX-R just doesn't want to initiate.

If wiring and radio neutral calibration is not an issue, you can always try doing a factory reset.

How do I do a factory reset?
