Hi,
Just setting up my Mamba Max Pro and Airtronics MT-4....
I have succesfully binded the radio and receiver...the servo turns (I had to reverse the direction in the menu on the MT-4) but I cannot calibrate the mamba max pro for the life of me...

Basically I turn the radio on, full throttle like they say, turn the mamba max pro on and then this happens:
green LED pulses...the esc makes the dlll dlll dlll dll noise....red LED pulses about 12 times....all LED's pulse 4 times with the dll dll dll dll noise...yellow pulses forever...
If I take the throttle off, all LED's pulse twice and then the yellow pulses twice then a break...twice then a break...twice then a break...forever...

HELP!

Thanks!

What version of software is the ESC running ?

Centre throttle trim
Set throttle / brake travel (EPA's) at 100%
Calibrate

If that does not work try maximum on the travel settings

Thanks for the reply...
Ok...I guess I had a brainfart moment but something is still strange...
The guide says the motor will make the beeps but the controller actually does it...
So I think I got it calibrated but when I ran it the throttle and brake were reversed?!

When I go full throttle, the esc is solid red....full brake/reverse, the esc is solid green...neutral it flashes yellow...

This is strange?! I had to reverse the servo direction in the airtronics but when I do that after calibration the motor will not turn...

How do I find the software version?

Thanks!

Easy to change the motor direction

Swap any two motor wires or .....
Change the direction using the Castlelink software on your computer

Computer software will tell you what version you are running

duuuhhh....wow sometimes it pays for doing work before midnight!!!
I can't believe I didn't switch the motor leads...I don't have the software hookup kit right now so I can't do that...
Thanks man.

Is the flashing yellow a normal thing now? I heard it now means there is no timing advance set on the motor but the instructions say otherwise...????

Thanks in advance.

Yellow LED flashing: Added support for ROAR spec class racing. Neutral LED flashes when controller is NOT running in cheat mode.

btw I have a mountain of extra wire coming from the castle motor to the esc...are most people just cutting them shorter?

I don't but I trade stuff a lot and the next guy might need the extra. I coil it or loop it and then zip tie it out of the way.
