After accepting the neutral position, the ESC will “ring” twice, flash all the LEDs, and the yellow LED will illuminate. The ESC will now “ring” four times and flash the yellow LED rapidly to accept the neutral position.Ĩ. Now relax the trigger to the neutral position.ħ. At this point, the full brake endpoint has been set within the ESC and now it’s looking for the neutral endpoint (yellow LED blinking).Ħ. The ESC will then blink the yellow LED and the motor will beep continuously. After a few seconds, the motor will “ring” four times rapidly. Move the throttle trigger to the full brake position and hold full brake.ĥ. At this point, the full throttle endpoint has been set within the ESC and now it’s looking for the full brake endpoint (red LED blinking).Ĥ. Next, the ESC will rapidly blink the red LED and the motor will beep continuously. After a couple of seconds, the motor will “ring” four times in a row. If the red LED is blinking instead, reverse your throttle channel. After the beeps, the green LED on the ESC will blink rapidly. If the ESC’s voltage cutoff is set to Auto-LiPo (the default setting), then the ESC will emit a sequence of beeps indicating the number of battery cells - If the number of beeps does NOT match the number of cells, disconnect the battery and confirm that it is fully charged.
If all your connections are correct, you will hear one multi-toned initialization “ring” from the. Keep holding full throttle on the transmitter. Hold full throttle on the transmitter and turn the ESC switch ON.ģ. Plug a battery into the ESC - If your ESC does not have a switch, hold full throttle on your transmitter before plugging in the battery.Ģ. Start with the transmitter ON, the battery disconnected, and the ESC switch in the OFF. Please start by zeroing out any throttle trim that you may have set in your transmitter.ġ. This is either an external micro switch on the transmitter or an option available within the computer programming of the transmitter. If you are using a Futaba-made transmitter, you will need to set the transmitter’s throttle channel direction to the REVERSE (Rev) position. Now we know the “why” - let’s get in to “how”. The ESC may also need to be calibrated after updating to new software. You must calibrate your Castle ESC so that it will operate effectively with your transmitter as individual transmitter signals for neutral, full throttle, and full brake vary.Īdditionally, anytime the ESC is powered up with a new transmitter or with different throttle channel settings, it will need to be calibrated to the transmitter’s throttle settings.
