Thanks, Mike.

That would be nice. It's been two weeks since I sent it, and I asked for them to email me when they received it. Could you look into it for me?

Thanks,

Was there a quick fix to this or did it have to go over to MGM.
Exactly what you described here, just happened to my 16016!

Guys, I have an 16016 Compro - its only 3 days old.
It programmed ok, gave it a test run on the bench only to find that it shut off after a couple of squirts of the throttle. No smoke or anything out of the ordinary. Though on repowering/reconnecting a pack I get the consistent beeping error message. Problem is that it wont supply a BEC charge so even by passing the BEC and running a separate pack wont reset the controller.
I have tried everything yet cant get the controller to reset and take a program. Its not turning the motor at all.

Any thoughts, or is it dead. If its dead do I send to MGM or Monster RC(reseller) for repair?

Regards

Hehe. Sounds familiar.

It needs to be re-programmed.

Ask Mike what he thinks, or e-mail them and make arrangements to ship it to them. It only cost me eight bucks, and I got it back in around three weeks.

They will communicate with you very well.

P.S. If you declare its value at ten bucks, it will breeze through customs,
but that is your call.

What is it with the 16016s? I've had serious trouble with mine. When it works it's great, but that has been seldom.

One note about the error beeping at start-up. I have found that both the servo reversing and the response rate (if equipped, like on my Nomadio) need to be set properly before it will accept programing inputs. I could not get mine to stop until I slowed down the radio signal by changing it from a digital signal output to an analog.
