To calibrate the Castle Creations Mamba X Series Micro X2 2-4S Waterproof Sensored ESC to your transmitter, follow these steps:
1. Start with your transmitter turned on, the battery disconnected from the ESC, and the ESC switch in the OFF position (if your ESC has a switch).
2. Plug the battery into the ESC. If your ESC does not have a switch, hold full throttle on your transmitter before plugging in the battery.
3. Hold full throttle on your transmitter and turn the ESC switch ON. Keep holding full throttle on the transmitter. If all your connections are correct, you will hear one multi-toned initialization "ring" from the motor.
4. If the ESC's voltage cutoff is set to Auto-LiPo (the default setting), the ESC will emit a sequence of beeps indicating the number of battery cells. If the number of beeps does not match the number of cells, disconnect the battery and confirm that it is fully charged.
5. After the beeps, the green LED on the ESC will blink rapidly. If the red LED is blinking instead, reverse your throttle channel. After a couple of seconds, the motor will "ring" four times in a row. Next, the ESC will rapidly blink the red LED and the motor will beep continuously. At this point, the full throttle endpoint has been set within the ESC, and it is now looking for the full brake endpoint (red LED blinking).
6. Move the throttle trigger to the full brake position and hold full brake. After a few seconds, the motor will "ring" four times rapidly. The ESC will then blink the yellow LED and the motor will beep continuously. At this point, the full brake endpoint has been set within the ESC, and it is now looking for the neutral endpoint (yellow LED blinking).
7. Relax the trigger to the neutral position. The ESC will now "ring" four times and flash the yellow LED rapidly to accept the neutral position. After accepting the neutral position, the ESC will "ring" twice, flash all the LEDs, and the yellow LED will illuminate. This is the arming tone and LED indication that the ESC is now armed, and the vehicle will respond to throttle inputs from your transmitter.
From this point on, when you connect batteries and turn the switch on, the ESC will give the initialization "ring," followed by battery cell count beeps (only in Auto-LiPo mode), and then after the arming delay, the ESC will "ring" twice, indicating it is armed and will respond to throttle application.
Please note that these instructions are a summary and should be used in conjunction with the Castle Creations Mamba X Series Micro X2 2-4S Waterproof Sensored User Guide for complete and accurate calibration information.
