sorry for the double post guys,
but i tried connecting it through the castle link program both on Vista-64(which now i understand isn't supported) as well as on Windows XP and neither times it connected... the software detected the castle link but not the esc... don't know what this means either but figured it might help somebody who can figure it out thanks, -Jim |

Curious...
Did the castlelink get hot at all when you hooked everything up to the PC? Havent done anything like disabled the BEC and running an external BEC or rx pack etc? |

Im out of ideas really- you do have a motor connected up to the esc I take it?
 At this stage I can only suggest phoning them up, or perhaps PMing either Thomas or Joe- either way they should be able to guide you through the setup procedure in case you missed anything obvious or obscure, but that fact the castlelink doesnt register the esc cant be a good thing, esc may be borked on some level...

Jim,
PM sent. Sounds like we have a dead monster on our hands. Please reply to my PM and we'll figure out how to revive the little bugger. Thomas Porfert Castle Tech Support |
