After finally getting my stampede up and running, i took it out to continue making my brushless profile so it wouldn't wheelie. It still was, so i brought my stampede inside, put castle link in and when i brought it up it gave me this strange "invalid number" error on 5-6 different fields including warning on beep. So i set everything to defaults and try to turn my truck back on. Steering works, but my ESC won't arm to get my motor to spin. Whatever i do, it just won't arm.

I also tried the original firmware and newest non beta firmware. Nothing worked. Tried brushed mode with my brushed motor, still nothing. I also tried putting the ESC into channel 1 from channel 2 and now steering is done by the clutch, but it won't arm.

Did my ESC die? I never hit any bumps. It happened after i got though error messages.

Edit: Title did not change. It should of said "ESC is not arming. Did my ESC die?" Contacted an admin so ti hope the title is changed shortly.

Bump, what's it sound like to everyone else? I gave it some time before doing this bump. Hope i waited a fair enough time.

STEP 1: We’re starting with the transmitter ON and the ESC switched OFF and
not connected to the battery.

STEP 2: Plug a battery into your Mamba ESC.

STEP 3: Hold full throttle on the transmitter and switch the ESC’s switch ON.
Keep holding full throttle on the transmitter. If all your connections are correct, you
will hear one multi-toned initialization “ring” from the motor (all tones are played by
the ESC vibrating the motor). This tone should always play when the ESC is first
powered up.

STEP 4: After a second or two, the green LED on the ESC will blink rapidly and
the motor will “ring” 4 times rapidly in a row (accepting the full throttle endpoint).

STEP 5: After the green LED flashing and ringing tones, the ESC will blink the red
LED. At this point the full throttle endpoint has been set within the ESC and now
it’s looking for the full brake endpoint (red LED blinking). Move the throttle trigger
to the full brake position and hold full brake.

STEP 6: After a few seconds, the ESC will flash the red LED and ring 4 times rapidly (accepting full brake endpoint).

STEP 7: After accepting the full brake endpoint the ESC will then blink the yellow
LED. Now relax the trigger to the neutral position.

STEP 8: The ESC will now ring 4 times and flash the yellow LED rapidly to accept
the neutral position.

STEP 9: After accepting the neutral position the ESC will ring twice and flash ALL
the LEDs. This is the arming tone/LED reaction. The ESC IS NOW ARMED and
the car will respond to throttle inputs from your transmitter.

in future make sure u use a high speed usb port on your computer. not 1 out of your keyboard, a monitor, or even a hub/switch for that matter. and use the factory cord. i saw some1 kill a speedo on a failed download b/c they were too lazy to switch out their camera link wire for their castle. luckily in their case it did enuff and he didnt try to do anythin else before i intervened and gave it a proper baseload with the correct cable and port. just heads up. glad u fixed it.

The hub is not usb 1.1. It's 2.0, same speed as the I/O on my mobo. Thanks for the tips.
