Tekin RS wont go into calibration mode need help! Race in 3 hrs LOL!
Brand new RS. Spectrum rx . When I power up I get a few flashes of all the led on esc...then nothing. I have tried 6.5 v direct (On 1s boosted normally). Steering works fine. Tries 2 rx's. Tried reversing t channel.
When I hold down the mode button to calibrate....its unresponsive!
What am I doing wrong here!
Thanks!

You need a booster or a receiver pack the esc does not have enough voltage to power up. If you have a booster or receiver pack it is wired wrong.

I have a novak booster. however I think I eliminated this possibilty by powering up the esc with a 6.5v batt, and leaving the booster off.

What kind of radio are you using? I had something like this happen to me. Turns out my radio couldn't find nuetral/center, making the esc not able to read nuetral and wouldn't calibrate. You can try 2 things. If you have another car/truck, try re-calibrating that esc to the radio and see if it gives the same problem. If you don't have another car/truck/esc, then while calibrating your Tekin and it gets to the part that it's not responding start to give it small incriments of throttle, with a couple of seconds inbetween each incriment. Try it in reverse as well as forward. This is what happened with me and had to ditch the Futaba 3PKS for a 4PL.

At this point I would:
Reinstall the 212 software.
Reset my radio settings to default.
Re-bind the Rx
Plug in a 2s lipo
Try to calibrate again.
If I remember correctly, once you hit the mode button for 3 seconds it should beep .. find nuetral by itself .. beep .. you hit full throttle .. beep .. you hit full brake.
Is it doing any of that (beeping)?
