With the help of Mike Franz at Kontronics, I figured out the problem. Mike sent me an email with the instructions and after reading them, I still had nothing...until I realized that this unit requires a separate battery, i.e. it didn't have a BEC circuit!
Long story short, I connected the ESC/motor to the RX, plugged in a motor battery, plugged in an RX battery and the beeps started happening! Now everything is fine. I had disconnected the external BEC for the initial tests and the motor is fine. I then hooked up the BEC again and everything works. I'm a happy camper now. Thanks everyone for your comments. gv -----Original Message----- From: Douglas, Brent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 12:00 PM To: RCSE Subject: RE: [RCSE] More info on the electric motor/esc issue I just wonder about running a BEC on a high amp setup,...
