Success with that on the bench. Got the prop spinning speed controlled from the RX through what appeared to be the whole range. Got good beeps from the ESC indicating that it was configured. Will now verify that I've got the right settings and put new heatshrink back on the ESC! Thanks for...

I'm going to try disconnecting the RED and powering the RX from a different battery - see if that works while I wait for the replacement. I cut off the heatshrink - nothing obviously burnt out / missing / bridged.

Hobbyking are sending another - they think it is broken based on no voltage on RED and 0 ohm resistance between RED and BROWN. Thanks for your help all.

That's the point. The RX output from the ESC isn't correct and the RX does not power up when plugged in. RX works fine from a dedicated battery but I don't think I can just omit +ve from the ESC. Sounds like it might make all the magic come out in a brief puff of smoke to me!

Do you think that might also solve what appears to be the miswire in the BEC pins - i.e. could that just be switching?

Hi All, I've had a play today to see if I can work out what is going on. I've removed the ESC from the model and got it on the bench as shown... The battery that I used to power it all up is this one: According to fluke measurements the LIPO output is 14.96V The non motor outputs of the...

Thanks for your help everyone - I'm away at the in-laws 'til Monday - I'll investigate and follow up on Monday with a message (or messages) here. :-)

Thank you for that. I've not got as far as programming or calibration - it when connected to the LIPO it clearly generates a 5.5V output (though I think on the wrong wire). I'll get some time to look at it again on Monday. The aircraft is a HK paramotor - 2x servos to control the risers...

I'm currently partway through the assembly and set up of the HobbyKing Paramotor kit - it all seems OK - I've managed to get the servos working and mixed OK etc but I'm having trouble with the ESC and specifically the output that can be used to drive the RX and other servos. When I check the...
