[QUOTE=Kamewadave;14207678]Hi,

Switch was moved to/from on/off -

Radio off - never bound to receiver.
Receiver not bound - no indication of power at all.
ESC - no lights, no indication of power.

Truly - this was absolutely the first time I have tried to power up the ESC and that makes me wonder if have missed something - I have the Hotwire connection and expected that I would power up the ESC, bind it to the receiver and then configure the ESC (down load updates, adjust the BEC settings, etc.)

i have about less than zero experience with Tekin products - and I am hoping that I need to do something "magical" like hold both the "mode" and "inc" buttons down for 3.5 seconds (not 3 and not 4 - 3.5 only) to reset it.

I crash and sometimes fly hell's, so I am somewhat familiar with soldering, esc's, programing radio's and the like; but I haven't built and run a truck since '93.

So I'm thinking that I haven't done something right - from all my research, Tekin builds good kit - tough and reliable; so the fault must lie with my build or connections.

But I guess the real questions are:

What should I expect during the initial power-on of the ESC?

Is there any info on what the connection to connection ohm readings should be on a healthy ESC? (A to B, A to C, + to -, etc.?)

It is looking as though I have an open on the circuit - since the unit acts like it isn't powered. But I don't want to open the back and poke around. Are there any non-invasive tests (electrical) that anyone knows about? Or should I just cry "Uncle" and send the unit back to Tekin?[/QUOTE

With my hi-tech radio my esc will not turn on until radio is turned on and esc gets a signal from receiver
