    This is a 300 amp RC boat ESC any thoughts why it wouldn't be beeping and why was still power up I can't hear the beeps for throttle calibration

      Hello
      Did you check if the switch is on when you calibration throttle?

        Turn on the radio hold full throttle turn on ESC release after three seconds and it calibrates but no beeps i've switched from a stick radio to a pistol radio and calibration worked but no beeps last time out it felt like it was way down on power

          If you aren't hearing the tones when you power up the esc with the radio at full throttle try reversing the throttle channel. Not sure but it sounds like the throttle isn't getting calibrated. I have the same combo in one of my boats btw. What radios have you tested with?

                Hmm you said it seemed down on power too right? Is there any chance you programmed the cutoff for a higher cell count then you tested with? For example if you program the cell count at 6 and connected a 3s battery it will not beep I don't think. Also do you have the plus version with the data logger? You can download and verify full throttle if so.

                    So were RPMs way down too? What about current draw and voltage during the run?

                    Do you have another motor to bench test, not actually put in the boat? Might tell you if the motor is the problem if it still doesn't beep.

                      So you are running 10s, what hull and prop are you running?

                      edit: You are the one running the big 58" Fountain! Very curious to know how the amp draw is?

                        Normal rpm was 27,000 it was only doing 18,000 and yes it's the fountain 58 single highest I've seen is only 186 A with an octura x455 54 mph

                          It would be hard to believe you hurt anything running that setup.

                          What about voltage though? Low voltage in the log. All cells in every battery check out normal?

                            Hello, pls check if you calibration throttle as following instruction

                            1st: Connect ESC to motor, plug receiver lead of ESC to
                            throttle channel of receiver.
                            2nd
                            Push joystick of transmitter to max throttle position,
                            power on transmitter.
                            3rd: Power on receiver, connect ESC to battery. Motor emits
                            three beeps in drop tones.
