I have a Mamba set-up for my RC18T. I also have the USB programming set-up as well. I have calibrated it both via the USB and traditionally, yet when I turn the switch to "off", the ESC constantly blinks the red LED. I've switched batteries, re-calibrated several times and the same result.

I am using a Futaba 3PK with the Spektrum system for the radio set-up.

Has anone ever experienced this before? Any ideas as to what I may be missing?

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

That switch is used for programming ONLY. It's not designed to be an on/off switch. you'll need to unplug the battery from the speed control to truly turn it off. Hope this helps. :)
 
Ah, yes it does. So, just to be clear, once it's programmed, leave the switch "on", correct? Manual's a little fuzzy on that part.

Thanks Lessen, I appreciate it!
 
yes, I believe you leave it on, although I'm not 100% positive. I think it makes more sense for it to be on than off though. Glad to be of service :thumbup:
