I purchased a I purchased a TrackStar 120A Gen II ESC that I have tried to install. But I can't get throe the whole installation sequence, so I need your help guys! This is my first brushless system...

I had one of thoes trackstar esc's. Thing was total junk. I too had a hard time getting it to program and when i did it only lasted 1 maby 2 packs and fried

That problem seems to ring a bell, I might've had a similar issue with my FlySky GT3B transmitter...I think I had to enable the servo reverse on the throttle channel to fix it...just an idea.

Try it with the transmitter in a throttle reverse position.

LOL Good suggestion!

Yup. A lot of them require throttle reverse.

My problem is resolved, there was nothing wrong with the ESC, it was my radio settings

I drive a stick radio (Futaba PCM 1024), an you can have the throttle stick in 2 different positions. 50/50 or 60/40 (throttle 60% and brake 40%). It seems that you can't calibrate the ESC if the stick position is set to 60/40, it must be 50/50!

50/50 60/40

Glad you resolved it. Most of us were pointing fingers at the transmitter, not the ESC...but I wasn't expecting that.

Yes you did, but I can’t figure why that 60/40 position won’t work. I never had this problem before, not even when I installed the LRP V8.1 ESC that is ferly modern this past summer.
So thanks guys for pointing me towards the transmitter.

I don't think anybody here knew you were using a stick transmitter.
