MMX 8S ESC seizure.

[The_Otherside]

Flashing lights. No sounds.

Has this happened to anyone?

I'm clueless.

Truck rolled over a few times and this is happening.

Also, I'm color blind, so I can't tell what it's even doing.

Update:

Turns on now and blinks red continuously.

I'd give Castle a call as they should be able to walk you through troubleshooting the problem. Also what is the beep pattern is it like 3 short beeps or 2 short beeps and a longer one etc. as that will tell you what the problem is also.

 

[The_Otherside]

There are no audible beeps

 

[Edough13]

Huh that's weird for sure. Definitely give Castle a call hopefully they can get it figured out over the phone.

 

[The_Otherside]

I'll do that!

I'll report back asap!

FYI the beeps come from the motor, so if you have no beeps, try another motor. Remove the sensor cable if in use. Try another bound radio. If you have Castle Link try and see if it can talk to it.

Castle link or Bluetooth link. either should be able to connect to it.

Aaahhh.. didn't know that!

^^^ yep. Beat me too it.
The Motor generates the tones upon ESC initialization. At least Isolate the motor as one possible cause. Before calling CC.

Ohk, I'm really dumb...

What's exactly step one?

I have an xlx2, can I try and plug that in?

 

[ChemEng]

I believe the MMX8s has 6mm bullets and the XLX2 has 8mm bullets, so you can't swap them easily... do you have the Castle link or Bluetooth link?

 

[The_Otherside]

I have castle link, but wouldn't know what to look for. I can get the program up amd running and get through all the tabs, but I wouldn't know what to look for.

 

[The_Otherside]

Unplugged everything after sitting for a day.

Everything works!

Thanks guys!!
