Do you have the ESC in brushed mode?

t-maxxracer32 · 03.30.2007, 12:49 AM

yes high powerd brush mode

t-maxxracer32 · 03.30.2007, 12:50 AM

and its in proportion reverse lockout or something

none of the settings made any diff (proportion/reverse to brake to reverse)

I couldn't tell from the movie, but in hi-power brushed mode, you hook all three ESC motor wires together to the negative motor connectors. Then, you hook the postive battery lead directly to the motor positive connectors, as well as to the ESC.

hmmm... ill try in regular brushed and see what it does

thanks

I looked at your vid again and it looks like you have your motors hooked to the ESC in regular brushed mode (where it has reverse) because you are using the red and black ESC motor wires to the motors. It makes sense that it won't move because in hipower brushed mode, the ESC sends the same voltage pulses to all ESC motor wires at once. This means there is no voltage difference between the red and black wires and therefore no movement. :)

BTW: Hooking it up the way you did won't hurt anything, but if you wire it for hi-power brushed mode (with all three wires hooked together) but program the ESC for regular brushed, you WILL damage the ESC so be careful!

Before you try running it, make sure you read pages 8, 9 , and 10 of the manual to make sure the connections are correct. Then, double check the ESC programming mode (BL, brushed w/ reverse, hi-power brushed).

alrighty! thanks!

t-maxxracer32 · 03.30.2007, 08:25 PM

In short; I'm not really sure as I don't have an emaxx or the kershaw thing. Pics or a video would be nice. :)
