Hold down set button, power up SC.

Try it, it might fix issue.
I ran into similar problems on a friends flow. We re flashed and completed the factory reset on the FIRST power up. It is now perfect.

Hope this helps.

Tried all the suggestions, Including following the factory reset.

The esc turns on and sits at a solid blue light. Nothing I do will change it, or reset it. It just... exists. :P

I'm going to call LRP.

Yes, didn't work. I then re-loaded the firmware and tried it again before every powering the esc on after the fw update, nothing.

Have there been any insider hints as to what ESC may (or may not) be coming out from LRP later this year to replace the Flow?

I think solid blue light means it is not seeing a signal from the Rx.

I think you're inventing this story yourself!

It hasn't been out for eons in reality and their top driver - volker - is running the current unit, but with a reasonably new firmware, and is winning almost everything he enters.

The R10 (it's main competitor really) has only just been replaced and that was about a year older.

Maybe they will have some prototypes at the upcoming worlds? Who knows. Unlikely to make a big change and potentially upset the formula before the worlds though.

Would make sense if the aim of LRP is to perfect the current unit, win the worlds (volker has to be odd on favourite) and then go back to the drawing board.

No, it means neutral according to the manual.

Is your servo responding? The ESC is getting power obviously if the light is on, but is it passing it onto the servo?

If not, are you sure the ESC is connected to the RX with correct polarity?

Have you tried to calibrate or are you not even able to get that far? Ie: nothing happens when you hold the set button for 3secs?

What happens when you use the trigger on your TX - does it stay as blue light to does it drop out/change colour?

I wasn't trying to invent anything, just honestly asking. I would also say that the ORCA VXX is valid competition.

Sorry, i think that came across a little more agressive than intended

The orca is a great speedo too from all reports, yes, but it doesn't have the availability or exposure of the other two really - not yet anyway. There are plenty of good units out there. There's some crap too though

V4.7 for blinky or open mod, 5.0 for boosted 17.5-10.5. The software is available online on LRP's site, but you will need to get a V2 bridge to update your esc.

The factory shipped version is 4.7, right?

LRP! We need an app for android and ios phones to update and set up our speed controls. It would definitely set the brand apart and with orion charging $ for a set up box it would be more appealing for consumers to use their already owned smartphone instead of cashing out for a set up unit. We already use our computers with the lrp software what's the difference if we could use our phones at the track? !!!!!!!!!!!
