T-Rex Throttle setup using DX7

[Sparax]

Hello everyone i'm looking for some help if i may iv'e just got a new T-Rex 450 SE V2 and everything was going great on the setup of it till i came to programing the ESC (RCE-BL35X) i have connected the bec connector to the throtle channel on the AR7000 reciver switched on the transmitter and put the throttle up full but i do not here any beeps from the motor any ideas what i might be doing wrong or do you think my ESC might be broken ?

Cheers

Comments and suggestions: AR7000 Rx bound to Tx? Have you watched Finless's video on setting up the ESC? The motor needs to be in the frame. Try turning the motor armature by hand and then try again. This repositions the armature which can have an affect on beep loudness. Reposition Tx from Rx and try it again.

..connected bec connector to the throttle channel...
Just to be clear, you mean the ESC servo cable, right ?

Could there be an order problem here ?

1) Ensure flight battery is disconnected
2) Ensure ESC is plugged into the throttle channel
3) Ensure main blades are removed and tail blades clear (or for real safety, removed)
4) Put throttle to max and turn on Tx
5) Connect flight battery to the ESC

It should now go into programming mode.

Hello Hughes500Bob

Yes my tx & rx are bound and all my other channels work perfectly thanks to the setup tips i got from Finless's videos i have just tried moving the motor armature by hand but it's had no affect i've also just disconnected the motor from the esc and put a voltage meter across the red and black to see if there was any voltage change when i move the stick but there was none infact the reading stayed at -4.64v which seems strange

Hiya kgfly

Yes thats exactly as i am doing it my friend but it still wont go into program mode for some reason i've tried rebinding the tx and rx reversing the throttle control but still nothing

Do you have your throttle hold on?

[Sparax]

Hiya Heli_harry

No i don't have throttle hold on mate although i have tried it with it on and off but it still won't go into programing mode also tried it in FLT Mode N,1&2 and still nothing i just can't think of anything else to try

Faulty ESC?

Sparax,

In your initial post you say ........switched on the transmitter and put the throttle up full but i do not here any beeps ..........

If I read this right you are turning on the transmitter and then moving the throttle to full.

I have the RCE-BLE25G and the instructions say.........Before you turn on the transmitter, please adjust the throttle stick to the maximum full throttle position. Proceed to connect the battery to the ESC. You will hear the confirmation sounds as soon as you enter SETUP MODE.......

My instructions also come with pictures which show exactly the same thing as above.

I did a super quick google search and found this site that helps explain it although it may not be for your specific ESC (still says the same as what my instructions do):

Hope this helps,

Hiya baldgeek

Thanks for your suggestion mate i've just tried it as you said with the throttle at full then switched on the transmitter and connected the battery to the ESC but it's still not going into programming mode. :arggg:

Sparax,
Make sure that the end points on the throttle channel are atleast 100% or it will not go into programming mode.

Evening all

Well i finally gave up on trying to get a replacement from align and went out and bought a new ESC today hooked it up and voilla stright into programming mode so it looks like it was a faulty one that came with the kit anyway i would just like to say a big thanks to all of you that tried to help me with this at least i know where to come if i have any other problems.
