Esc trouble
Ok i have a dynamite tazer 12t esc i bought at the local hobby shop the other day.Well when i went to program it i guess its not getting any throttle input and its not working.So i called horizion hobby up and he said i needed to buy a new transmitter so i bought a stock HPI setup and i tried to program it and still nothing.The thing that gets me is the steering servo still works so i dont know what to do anymore.Any help would be greatly appricated[8D]

RE: Esc trouble
Try plugging the ESC into channel one and the steering servo in channel two. If you can control the servo with the trigger then the radio is fine and its your ESC that is causing the problems. I would check all the ESC wires and plugs, especially the signal wire and receiver plug.

RE: Esc trouble
Just make sure all of the wires that plug into the receiver aren't frayed, are all the way in the plug, and havnt come off the board (if you can see that).
Also try playing around with the trims and the reverse switch on your radio when trying to calibrate. It might just be finicky. If that doesnt work I would return it.

RE: Esc trouble
Hi, I also have a Tazer 12T. I'm a newbie and have programmed it correctly (how difficult can it be)
Experiencing exactly the same problems as you. Servo works well, but no motor action.
I want to check if any power is comining from the ESC to the motor.
