Mamba ESC Help

[Monkey Wrench]

I have a Mamba set-up for my RC18T. I also have the USB programming set-up as well. I have calibrated it both via the USB and traditionally, yet when I turn the switch to "off", the ESC constantly blinks the red LED. I've switched batteries, re-calibrated several times and the same result.

I am using a Futaba 3PK with the Spektrum system for the radio set-up.

Has anone ever experienced this before? Any ideas as to what I may be missing?

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

That switch is used for programming ONLY. It's not designed to be an on/off switch. you'll need to unplug the battery from the speed control to truly turn it off. Hope this helps.

Ah, yes it does. So, just to be clear, once it's programmed, leave the switch "on", correct? Manual's a little fuzzy on that part.

Thanks Lessen, I appreciate it!

yes, I believe you leave it on, although I'm not 100% positive. I think it makes more sense for it to be on than off though. Glad to be of service :thumbup:
