I just bought my first hobbywing xerun combo. 2200kv sensored brushless motor with the 150A ESC. I am running 2 - 3s lipos total of 22.2v. I have everything hooked up and I linked my controller. I turn on the ESC and it lights up red. After a couple seconds it beeps 5 or 6 times and the light flashes to green the shuts off. the ESC stays on with the fan running strong. I have a green light on the receiver and it will control the steering servos but nothing to the motor when I pull the trigger. I am at a loss here. I can't figure out what's wrong.

Please help!!!

Could you post a link to which XERun combo you bought? It may not be rated for 6s use, and it might be going into a safety mode to prevent you from lighting it on fire due to over-voltage.

Also, another possibility, is that you didn't calibrate the ESC to your radio. Give us a link here first, so we can make sure it's rated for 6s use, though I'd assume it is, as it's the 150A model. Can't hurt to be safe though! I'll go ahead and get you a link for calibrating the 150A XERun ESC.


Link for the manual.


Just hit that link, then hold control + F on your keyboard, type 'calibrate' and read the part where it highlights.


-edit-
To make it easier, I'll iterate in simple terms what it wants you to do/

1. Turn off the ESC, turn on the radio you're using. Set the throttle channel to 'REV' (reverse). Make sure the trim is zero'd out (no additional, or negative value from a past RC model).
2. Hold down the set button on the ESC, and switch it on. Let go of the set button as soon as it turns on.
3.This will be actually calibrating. What you did so far was to get it READY to calibrate.

-Neutral position
Let go of the throttle trigger on your remote. Press the set button one time. The LED should be green, and flash 1 time. This has set the neutral point.

-Throttle positioning
Squeeze the throttle trigger to it's maximum travel. Basically, just squeeze it like you're going full-throttle. Press the set button one time. The LED should still be green, and it'll flash 2 times. This has set the full throttle point.

-Brake positioning
Push the throttle trigger as far forward as it'll go, just like you were braking hard with it. Push the set button one time. The LED should still be green, and it'll flash three times. This has set the full brake point.

4.Saving calibration
-The ESC takes 3 seconds to burn this into it's memory after calibration has been achieved. Complete steps 1-3, and then wait 3 seconds. You're good to go!

Yes batteries are fully charged. I have the lv cutoff set at 3.2v.

I tried setting the throttle control but when I turn on the ESC using the Set button it flashes red. I click the set button again to program neutral and the ESC light goes out. I think it is supposed to flash green? Not happening. I tired moving the cable from the ESC to another port on my receiver and it made the wheels spin for a second and that was it. So I know the motor is OK but I can't get it to run from the controller.

Still doesn't work. The ESC isn't responding to the calibration using the set key.

Some esc's have to be programmed also on what type of battey your using. When I bought my waterproof momba monster on the weekend. They plugged it into their computer. Set stuff like that. Plugged it back into the reciever. Then did the calibration describe above. Then it worked fine.

If you're having trouble calibrating the esc to your radio try reversing the throttle channel on your radio. Some esc's don't like certain radios if the throttle channel is (or isn't) reversed.

I always had to reverse my throttle for hobbywing. Your holding button down while turning on right.
Never had trouble w em

+1 The Hobbywings, Ace RC, and all other re-badges will not calibrate without reversing throttle channel
