    Do you have both leads from the esc plugged into the box like Diagram 2 opto esc in the instructions?
    Switch on?

        Did you try checking the box firmware thru the pc link? A long shot mine was up to date.

          Maybe that's the problem.. I'll have to get the USB link and try it.

            It's probably a firmware update problem, have you had this ESC a while and just now using it?

                  I did not but I haven't done anything out of the normal with this setup. I will go over all options.

                    Go through those instructions and see if you missed something.

                      The controller HAS to be connected to the computer to update software, other wise where is it going to get the update from?
