Hello. I recently installed a blue arrow 10 amp esc, with 3cell li-poly cutoff, on my blue foam 3d plane. I powered it up and after about 10 seconds it went to full throtle and would not shut down. Now regardless of my input on the controller once the battery is connected it goes to full throttle and can only be shut down by diconecting the battery.

I have checked and rechecked all of my connections, servo reverse, end point adjustment and so on. I don't know what else to try. :mad:
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,
Ben

Do the instructions show a programming sequence for the ESC. There may be something you need to set.

The devices that controll power applied to a motor by an ESC are MOSFETs. When a MOSFET fails, it normally fails as a short. This will apply full power to your motor regadles of anything you or the controller may do. Sounds very much like your ESC needs repair. If you need help getting the controller repaired PM me.
