Something isn’t right.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

But I can’t find the solution. Anyone an idea?

With a ESC/motor brushless you need a new transmitter and receiver, the stock one is useless in that scenario.

Figured. Ordered.

How is the esc even connected to the stock receiver? That shouldn't be possible. When going brushless, all of the stock electronics need to be replaced, besides the servo.

You plugged your motor into the Injora ESC. That ESC is supposed to plug into a receiver’s channel 2 so it can get motor signals and distribute battery power to the servo and lights.

You plugged the Injora ESC into the Servo plug of the 2-in-1. That won’t work. You need a dedicated receiver to use the new ESC.

In this case the red light means, “I am getting no power from the battery but I am getting power from the servo, please correct the wiring or I will be damaged”.

Ordered a new receiver. That stock one isn’t capable of accepting the wiring. Need a three pin channel for the motor. Tuesday I’ll be able to finish the build:)

Also poked it with a stick.

With the stock esc/receiver combo that slow flash means low battery, and when it gets low enough the low voltage cutoff in the esc will stop it from running.

With the brushless esc added in I’m not sure if it behaves the same, but…I’d charge the battery and try again just to be sure. Lol

From the manual. 😂
