Here's my problem:

I have my Mamba Max ESC plugged into the motor, receiver and battery. All the connections look correct. When I go to plug in the battery the Mamba Max does its usual initialization beeps, whether the power switch is on or off. After the initial beep sequence the ESC continues to beep and I'm unable to do anything. What am I missing here?

I'm running the ESC off a 2s LiPo/5000mAh with a Futaba R152JE receiver and using a Castle Creations brushless motor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Assuming you are in auto lipo mode initial beeps should indicate the number of cells connected ie 2 beeps 2s lipo etc....

It will then beep once every 20 secs or show just to let you know its alive

If it continually beeps after initial turn on you need to calibrate the tx throttle and brake

Cheers

Dbl check and see if the rcvr wire is plugged in backwards. Usually most rcvrs have neg (brown) to the outside of the rcvr case.
