I need ESC help.

[Ozric]

Brand new 120 esc with a brand new 515. Installing on a Losi TT with hobbywing 3660. Charged battery. Paired with dx5. I only get steering. The motor or motor fans do not seem to get power. I get two beeps with red LED flashing

Did I do something wrong or is there a faulty component here? I bought the truk used and wasn't the one who installed the motor.

Better pictures would help a lot. Take photos of how everything is plugged into the receiver. Did you go through throttle calibration mode?

I tried to post a video. I held down the set button with the tx on, but as soon as I turn on the esc, I just get a double beep sequence.

The video link didn’t work for me, I just got a blank Facebook page.

You can’t imbed videos on this site. It has to be a link to another. Most here use YouTube.

Red flashing means LVC and it's not counting cells (or just 2)

what battery are you using 2/3 or 4s ?

Thank you. It's a 2s battery that, while not fully charged, has at least 60%.

I am not a spectrum expert, but if it's this version it will expect 3S minimum 10v:

[Ozric]

No. It’s not that one but it is 4s capable. I was told it would work on 2-4s

What I’m getting is two short beeps. Not single

Ok, so apparently, on Jennys, since it had a different model number, I thought this esc would be good for 2-4s. I was wrong. I tried it with a 3s lipo and it works fine. I'll have to replace the current motor, as it's a 2s, but at least I'll get her going.

Thank you all for your replies.

Charge the lipo to its full capacity , the Correct way, try that, and get back here with your results.
