Yeah the SMC battery is fully charged and verified. All connections seem intact.

Baffled.

Faint red or dark ? Press the throttle and turn the wheels by hand does it kick start ? Or even remove the sensor wire from motor or esc does it run?

Ah now we're getting somewhere...

LED is vibrant.

Rolling the wheels DID achieve kickstart. Let it come to rolling stop and throttle failed again. Proceeded to pull the sensor wire and throttle was recovered. I've also turned it off/on again and still no audio beeps. What does this all mean?

Sensor port damaged .The mosfet that powers the sensor port is shorted .Who did you buy it from ? Did you upgrade the software at anytime?

Ordered from falconsekido.com about a month ago, haven't done anything to software.

Any idea how the mosfet got shorted? And why there is no audio beep?

Thank you for the prompt assistance BTW, very much appreciated.

well I hooked everything up out of the box without changing softwares, stutters like there is no tomorrow from a dead stop then goes away. I tried to use the 2-1 box and the box said to update software.


so I go try to update that stupid thing and nothing, wont communicate. I download the v3.3 and there are only 2 software different from what I see a few pages back and still nothing.

deleted and redownloaded the v3.3 and ran it under the administrator setting while opening and now I get a cant read esc setting error window.

ive spend the last 2 hours dealing with this pos. any other stuff I can try before I dump it?

I know everything is new, but did you try the speed control with no sensor wire? Do you have another to try?

As far as hooking up the program box to the PC, when you got the cant read settings did you try unplugging the unit and reattaching it to the pc? sometimes people have luck doing that.

Yes I unplugged the wire on motor side and was pretty coggy, put it back in and stutters for a split second.

Have you tried modifying mode 1, changing the settings? I never worry too much about the mode, I just modify the settings to what I want. I know you should be able to change the mode................
I see you got it to read your settings now.............

its like it reads some stuff with one software and other stuff with another or wont connect, still cant get the esc or none of my 3 2-1 cards to link with for crap with it. I do care about the mode as we are starting a specifically blinky 13.5 sct class Wednesday.
