I have bought one of these speed controllers to go with a brushless motor as an experiment with using such kit in a boat. I set up the controller with the battery pack, motor and receiver on the bench and programmed it for what I wanted it to do using the Hobbywing ESC programming card and it worked perfectly.
The controller is now installed in the boat, correctly connected to the battery pack, receiver and motor but will not operate the motor. When the battery pack is switched on, a green LED lights inside the controller and the rudder servo operates as normal which indicates to me that the ESC has power and that the BEC circuit is working. However, the ESC does nothing (no 'beeps', etc.) and the motor will not work at all. Attempts to use the programming card gives no help as the LEDs on the card do not light up.
I have tried (three times) to e-mail Hobbywing for assistance, but received no reply at all.
Has anyone else had problems with this kit and can help me out? Can anyone suggest what I may be doing wrong as a mere beginner with brushless kit?
Also, the total lack of reaction from the manufacturer to a simple technical query suggests that they couldn't care less about their customers - so beware!
