I'd like to see this. I know a lot of people that would

I thought about the same but I did not know if the receiver would not impact the data transfer as the receiver would remain connected.

Exactly. I'd love to get Randy at Tekin's opinion on this.

Somewhere it was posted where someone tried this, and they found that the power consumption of the receiver, and servo was more than the usb port could provide.

You can't have the receiver connected and powered up because it will put out signal and hoze things up. If you want to use a y harness it's going to have to have a switch that will disable the receiver (splice a switch in the positive lead to the receiver). I haven't tried this but it should work.

I just unplug from the receiver personally. It's not a big deal for me.

Which LEDs are flashing? Knowing which ones are lit will help us sort out the problem.

The only thing I could recommend is checking the LiPo voltage cutoff - I know several people ran into a similar problem if the cutoff was set for 3S instead of 2S, which could cause the ESC to stop responding.

He stated that the first two, and last two are flashing,,, indicating wrong motor.

I would try a factory reset, described in the owners manual, and than reset your settings with hotwire.

I had the same problem initially. I ended up taking the wires off completely and found a small sliver of solder that had dropped to the bottom of the poles. Removed the sliver, problem solved. If there is excess on the motor, it will do the same thing.

Led's 12 and 67 show wrong motor type. This could be caused by a bad motor, bad esc, bad wiring.

Check the esc with a known good motor first.
Sounds like you already checked the wiring...

led's 12 and 67 the same as DB,BS,MT,VC?????

I have tried all my motors and no luck, sometimes if I roll the motor over it does it's normal thing with the flashes anyway but no sound, then when pulling throttle all led light up then flash normal but motor inop

could it be just a bad ESC or a fluke that all 3 motors went T.U ???

thanks for all the help

can you post a pic of your wiring?? did you get the a-b-c part correct on the motor to speedo?? do you have a bad sensor wire?? will the esc work with the hot wire?? jeremy
