I have just looked up Absima 2.4Ghz and see that some sets use serial bus for outputs. Which model do you have please?

Hi Dave...the Tx/Rx is an Absima 2.4Ghz system, the handbook informs buyers that the products are matched in the factory so you only need to bind if you're mixing them with other brands. I'm using the Mtroniks Viper Marine 15 ESC....all lights appear to be on but nothing moves :-(

Hi NickW
What Tx/Rx have you bought? What is the ESC?
Are you sure the original motors and ESC were working?
As this is a new Tx/Rx are you sure they are working? Are you sure they are actually bound?
If the lights were on the Rx and ESC the battery should have worked the rudder. NiCads are not good for holding their charge and are best charged just before using. NiMh batteries are much better in this respect.

I've tried the leads both ways, no fuse fitted....i'm going to charge the battery just in case....

Are the leads plugged into the rx the right way.?

Also if there is a fuse fitted is it a good one.

Bought another boat last week, needed running gear apart from the twin motors and rear servo. So I bought a new Tx/Rx and a new ESC....I used a NiCad battery 1500....now I didn't charge the battery so it could be something as simple as that. The Rx was already bound to the Tx so all I had to do was make the connections and off we go. Nothing!!! Neith rudders nor screws moved a millimeter.....battery problem? There was enough charge to light the ESC and Rx. How long do they hold their charge roughly? Thanks.....
