Mamba Max ESC ISsues
Okay, I'm trying to get this thing figured out I just got it.
I Turn on the radio, hold the throttle... then turn on the ESC and its supposed to do the 4 beeps, then goto red, then i hit the brake etc..
Well, when i do that, instead of beeping and going to red, I t beeps for times pauese, beeps four times again then goes solid orange, and i have no control. No throttle or no steering.
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt, do i have to do this process everytime i turn on the car, or once its setup i can just turn on the radio, then ESC like normal?
Thanks,
Dennis

RE: Mamba Max ESC ISsues
This is from the Mamba Max users guide:
Most calibration issues can be solved by changing settings on the transmitter. Make sure you have both your throttle and brake endpoints (called EPA or ATV on your radio) on the throttle channel out to between 100 to 120%. Make sure if you have a Futaba or Futaba made transmitter to have the throttle channel set to the reversed position.
