Title: Motor did not respond
Post by: Jatin on November 06, 2007, 06:44:40 AM
Hi ! everyone, I have Hobbico Electristar EP RTF 63".Yesterday I was taking a ground test for controls and I found that Radio is on connect the bateries,turn on the on switch and pull forward the throttle to arm the motor but I can't hear the beep sound. All other controls are working fine except motor. Unfortunately it can't arm after so many try. I checked wiring and reconnect it again but same thing.

Everyones guidence will be appreciated.

Thanks

Bring o the EMFSO meet tommorrow nite and I am sure you will get lots of help.

If all wiring is good, including motor leads and ESC-RX wiring, then I would think your motor or ESC may be tossed.  

How old is the motor and what battery/prop did you use?

As mentioned above, if you can bring it to the meeting on Wednesday evening, we can have a look at it.
