Hobbywing G2 Max10 80A ESC

[tdog2008]

I recently bought a G2 Max10 and it is blinking red rapidly, but my 3s battery is perfectly balanced. It does have steering but no throttle, and it won’t bind since my receiver is the base model TQ and it doesn’t have a true binding mechanism it only allows for the Transmitter to bind, which I believe is because of the traxxas ecosystem.

My Tranmitter doesn’t have a Throttle trim which I believe could be the problem. I did just order a new transmitter and receiver that does allow for a throttle trim, which I’m hoping will fix everything. Let me know if me know if this is correct.

Did you try to recalibrate the esc to the receiver with the set button on the esc?

HW manual says that the esc doesn't know what's throttle/neutral/brake on the transmitter so a calibration should fix it.

What's the new RX/tx combo you got?

I did attempt a recalibration but it went back to blinking red. That was the first thing i tried.

I got a FS-GT3C transmitter with a FS-GR3E receiver.

Which I believe is an improvement compared to my TQ 6519 receiver with the Traxxas 2.4ghz and the TQ2.4ghz 2channel transmitter without throttle trim or red switch.

If you want, you could swap channels 1 &2 on the receiver to diagnose things.... using the steering wheel to control the throttle.

Also, if using 3S LiPo battery exclusively, I'd set the LiPo cell count to 3S instead of the Auto default setting.

Thank you, i will test this out.

Can you share a pic of your connections on the receiver?
