When trying to throttle with the remote, thereā€™s three red blinks each time

Iā€™ve read that means a defect DVR?

#15507

Do you not see the red led flashing?
Go in the terminal tab and type ā€œfaultā€(current fault code). If itā€™s empty type ā€œfaultsā€(all faults since bootup). By the sound of it something is toast

@Athrx
Yes I do, thought it was normal though :frowning:
It seems like everything is okay, Ibe updated firmware on the 4.12 VESC to 5.1, it cant detect any values. Blown DVR?:sob: I have a second one hereā€¦ If thatā€™s dead tooā€¦ :dizzy_face:

Type it in after you get a fault. Not fresh after you turn it on.
Aaand, no, red led means disaster strikes. Consider it the blue screen of death in windows

Iā€™ll run Motor R/L detection now and type it in the terminal after that

So it starts blinking red 3 times in some sort of periodā€¦ Blue and green are constantly on. I got a really weird low pitch sound for 1 sec on the motor, THEN VESC Tool said Could not measure the motor resistance and inductance

Im about to cryā€¦
Iā€™ll try the second vescā€¦ Will have to solder bullet connectors to it first

Iā€™ll open a dispute with the seller right? Nothing else left to do :frowning: ā€¦

15 days after i received the item I canā€™t open disputes :slightly_smiling_face:

#15512

Open a chat support discussion on paypal, explain to them that you only now had all the parts to test the esc and it is dead on arrival. Of course, try to reason with the seller as well

Also, make sure itā€™s not the motor that is fucky. Youā€™ll burn many more controllers this way

On ali?

thats why i depending on the item donā€™t instantly confirm that i received the goods. Gives me some more time if there is any left.

You canā€™t pay with PayPal on AliExpress :frowning: at least in most casesā€¦

If the motor product page says 55A and motor detection says 48A, which one is right? Can i modify it after, up to what the motor datasheet says?

Idk but are these a good deal I know mboards is horrible But the tires are what drew me to them itā€™s a 6x2 And do trampa make 6inch rims?

#15523

Thanks itā€™s from amazon so at least I know I will get my order in a week lolšŸ˜ fucking mboards they still havenā€™t message me back about my esc ands itā€™s been over a weekšŸ˜”

#15524

while you can buy these wheels through the amazon marketplace, it appears that the still will be fulfilled by mboards not amazon. at least you have another layer of protection, sounds like youā€™ll need to eventually do a credit card charge back for your escā€™s
