Kraton Throttle and Motor Issues on Keaton 6s

[sipes190]

It would be worth it to solder new connectors. Worth a shot. Beats buying a new ESC.

Ok is there a way I can test if I take the connector off the esc side of faze A the one I repaired and just hold the wire (from the cover not just holding bare wire) to the other side of the connector to the motor to see if it has any beeps on startup?

Or would that just not be a good idea

Check transmitter and receiver: Ensure your transmitter is turned on and properly bound to the receiver.
Throttle trim: Adjust the throttle trim on your transmitter to the neutral position.
ESC connections: Verify that the ESC is plugged securely into the correct receiver channel.
Programming mode: If you were recently trying to program the ESC, check if you have completed the programming sequence and saved the settings

Don't know if you noticed or checked this but your esc is flashing a green led. Quick Google search says that the ESC is in Programing mode. Weather that's right or not I don't know.

It is flashing green yes

A blinking green light on a Spektrum Firma 150 amp ESC typically indicates that the ESC is in programming mode, meaning you are adjusting settings like throttle or brake endpoints, or it could also signify that the ESC is not receiving a signal from the transmitter, potentially due to an incorrect throttle trim setting or a faulty connection between the receiver and ESC.

I'm assuming it's a 150 .but it doesn't matter size amp

Is there any chance you need to re-zero your throttle? I had to do that on the same controller before.

I watched your vid numerous times .first thing I saw was the green led light blinking which is a good sign .1 there is power going to it and 2 no red death light .which at times indicates a bad ESC .its happened to me on firma ESC s .I honestly don't think your ESC is dead ..your having a connection issue between your ESC and your receiver.or you didn't calibrate it correctly ..not using a program card means you need to follow the beeps .not saying you didn't do it correctly but in my case I've had to recalibrate a few times before the ESC understood the commands..also you mentioned you had not touched this vehicle in months.so not that this has anything to do with why you're not getting throttle but don't leave the battery's in your transmitter when your not using it .if you can for the hells of it take your motor out ..check the bearing..I've had motors go and I got no throttle because of it .. blinking green light like yours ..when you turn on your ESC do you get the strat up beeps that come from your motor ? The start up beeps do not come from your ESC .no start up beeps can indicate a bad motor .you said you checked all connectors and connections so that's a good start, calibrate again .and rebind your transmitter to receiver again

Your throttle should be in neutral when calibration and binding

 

[King blitz]

Sometimes if you accidentally move your throttle button on your transmitter it will send your ESC into a red blinking light .but that's if you do it before you turn on your ESC ..that didn't happen in your case but to recalibrate you do need to set it at neutral position

 

[King blitz]

Your stearing should also be at neutral when binding and calibrate

 

[King blitz]

Also if you still have your manual.there is a section in the back where you can troubleshoot codes your ESC is throwing off .like slow green light on each or fast blinking green light

 

[King blitz]

On your receiver pull out the ESC plug and check the pins inside ,make sure they are straight .sometimes people pull them out sideways or crooked and ruins the pins in the connectors and or the pins in your receiver.

 

[King blitz]

I feel like you have a bad connection somewhere.i can't visually see anything for you .its not in my hands so you need to look at everything ..pull on your wires make sure they solid ..make sure everything is tight ...also do you have a voltage meter?? Can you check to see how much voltage your ESC is getting? This is one of those things where it's a process of elimination..one step at a time brotha .your receiver could be bad also as for your ESC I don't think it's bad .could be your transmitter also .just because you have stearing doesn't mean it's not bad.

I have had the green flashing light of death as well as the red and done everything to get them going again to no avail

My first thought is the bullet connection. I would absolutly resolder the bullet. Give them all a little steel wool cleanup. Sometimes the male end gets too compressed and does not make solid connection. Flare out the prongs a little. To test the receiver swap the steering and the throttle. From the looks of it the servo channel is working (yes the trigger is now steering). If the motor works when you turn the wheel, it's your receiver.
