Traxxas maxx/ 6s spektrum system

[osuui]

Hi I have a Maxx that I switched all motor and esc to spektrum, I’ve put everything in correctly the esc and motor worked before putting it in but now I’ve ran into problems. The problem is that when I turn on the esc it beeps 4 times green led then turns to a rapidly red flashing led why is it?

In that pic, Isn't the outside pin the (-)... if so, your black wires should be to the outside.

Once that is done, if it's still bad, check your throttle trim on your radio, if it isn't zeroed, that can cause the issue you're seeing. If it doesn't go away, try putting everything at zero, and re-calibrate the ESC.

I’ve neutraled the multi function and trim to 0 still nothing it’s a Traxxas controller so not much I can do re calibration dosent seem to work either it does get in the mode but dosent blink the two green leds it needs to

Which pin? And wires? The ones on the motor?

I’ve fixed the where there steering and speed control pins should be so it can’t the reciever sorry this pic has the old reciever

You stated that you're using a traxxas transmitter, but you have a Flysky receiver in the truck. As far as I'm aware, those two are not compatible.

If for some reason I'm wrong and the two are compatible then Id take a look at the user manual for your ESC and find out what a rapidly flashing LED means.

With a quick Google search, it says in the manual if the red LEDs are flashing it is in calibration mode. I don't know alot about these Esc's so I don't know if this will help.

How did you know which ESC to look up? The OP never said what model Spektrum ESC he was using.

In the thread title, he stated that he has the Spektrum 6s stuff. As far as I know, they only make 1 6s esc for surface cars

Gotchya, I see it in the title now. I would have looked that up myself, but I didn't catch that the first time around.

The one that he has is the 150amp brushless Esc. the 130amp is for 2s-4s lipos, and the 160amp is for 8s.

Here is the manual.
Page 14 is troubleshooting..
It could actually be the LVC is activated...

Thats basically what I said as I stated that they only make 1 3-6s esc.

It has a tqi receiver now I tryed to figure out the problem for another car I had that’s why it is on

Yes it is a 150amp spektrum esc I’ve looked at the manual for the flashing red light it’s something about how voltage isn’t making it through?

So I’ve tryed neutral settings and tryed changing out batts the calibration mode dosent even work either it blinks red yes when it’s in the mode but won’t proceed further so I’m thinking it’s dead

I was afraid of that... if you go on youtube and search the problem, people call the red flashing the "red flash of death" I think your Esc is bad...
