e-Electric Motors & Controllers > Thunderbird 36 ESC Problems

I am currently using a Thunderbird 36 ESC on my 450 bird and everything was working great until I changed from a JR 7202 radio to a Futaba 7c 2.4 radio. I got everything dialed in (Pitch curves, throttle curves, set the pitches on the chopper) but when I plug the motor in, I get a beep every second with no response when I add throttle from the motor, what gives, everything worked great before I switched radios!!! I ordered a Scorpion ESC, but that wont be in until next week and I want to fly this weekend!!

hey man check to see if you need to reverse your throttle channel. take your main blades off and be careful.

Yes you will need to reverse your throttle channel. Signal from futaba and jr are opposite. You will always need to reverse throttle with a esc on futaba.
