Help for a friend please

Hi all My friend is trying to get his Etronix ESC to work with a spektrum SR200 receiver but all he is getting is the steering to work and no throttle.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work for him?

Thanks in advance

Has he tried putting the esc in to the steering socket on the reciever. I would try this to make sure the esc does work. Obviously then the steering on the transmitter would operate the esc. If it still does nothing then id take the esc back to where he bought it and get a replacement.

ok done that and the throttle works in the steering port but not when i place it in the throttle port. I know the receiver works because its come out of my car.

Ok then next try plugging the steering servo into the throttle socket on the reciever and using the throttle on the transmitter to steer. then that would show if its the transmitter thats at fault. If the stick does nothing with the steering then its prob a faulty transmitter.

Ok so the throttle works in the steering and the steering works in the throttle. But wont work the correct way round weird.

is the motor connected correctly?

for the steering to work the ESC needs to power up the receiver which it is doing. Some models of ESC also have lights on them to indicate full brakes and full throttle. If this ESC does check they are illuminating correctly.
