Weird ESC/Reciever problem

[djmeistro]

Hello again! I recently purchased the Hobbyking 100a ESC (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...C_US_Warehouse_.html?strSearch=hobbyking 100a along with a wiiceiver and kama nunchuck (from ebay). I have this weird problem when I plug in the esc to the battery (connected with a ntm 50/60 motor) I have to press the controller stick down in order to first arm the motor. Then if I release the stick it will immediately accelerate in the neutral position. I tried reflashing the ESC with just about every setting I could think of. I have calibrated the wiiceiver and kama controller multiple times. I don't think it is the wiiceiver though because I can see the LED light up green when I push the stick forward and then red (brake) if i push the stick down. Can anyone have any suggestions to where I can have the motor completely off when the stick is neutral and then accelerates when i press forward/brake when it goes backward?

I also have bought this programmer ( http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=35668 ) Do i need something different?

I assume it's due to your esc. You should program your esc first.

Thats also an airplane esc and might react differently.

This is from the HobbyKing comments section.
"The throttle travel is separate from the programming functions. To calibrate the throttle, turn on your radio, put the throttle at maximum. plug in your speed controller to the battery assuming it is in the plane and all hooked up. Make sure to remove your propeller before you do any of this. After you connect the battery, you should hear 1 beep or a series of beeps. Now lower your throttle on your radio all the way down after the first beep. It is done."

You may also have to calibrate the Wiimote by turning on your ESC and kama while holding down the C button for 5 seconds if I remember right. If that doesn't work, get an ESC for something with 4 wheels. :lol:
