[laxjj14]

So i have a dx3r and a wantamix with dual sidwinders and a bec im having troubles getting the sidewinders to arm. Im looking for pictures of the wantamix and rx plugged in and working so i know which way the wires go into both. Ive tried it everyway i could think of. Ive also calibrated the escs to the rx without the wantamix plugged in. And im still stumped plaes help

You will need to set the esc's one at a time and be very patient. I've encountered this issue a few times before with multiple brands of TX, RX & ESC's.

One thing you need to beware of is the small red wire coming from the esc. Since you have dual esc's (assuming you are not running an external BEC), you need to remove the small red wire from the RX plug of at least one esc or both if you are using an external BEC. If you have both small red wires connected at the same time, you can/will short your RX (double the voltage to RX) and possibly the want a mix (not certain on WAS though).

Ok thank you i didnt disconnect either of them i will do this before i try it again and by setting them one at a time you mean just set them to the wantamix one at a time and then hook the both up after? Hopefully i havent shorted the rx all ready the light still lights up when i plug in the escs and it works with one of the escs hooked to throttle input and the servo hooked up to steering "

A few times in the past, I've had to move the throttle a bit to "forward" & "reverse" when 1st turned on so the ESC's arm.
This was on my 3PM-x with dual CC ESC's and also with dual FX-R's. I also had an earlier version of the WantAmix.

Yes, set up the ESC's one at a time. Once they have armed themselves to your RX & TX, you should be able to install everything correctly. You have to program the WAS correctly though.

Ok so I figured out how to get them both to arm but it only works with out having the wire connect to the 3rd channel and as soon as I hook it in the sidewinders unarm and all the lights start flashing. I have a rx sr3100 on the way so hopefully it will work with that. Also on my dx3r it doesn't function like it does in the video the aux doesn't move at all I have the mixing b set master and slave to +100 -100 and the settings are the same as in the video. I also saw some magic smoke and wasn't to happy till I realized it was from my old integy 65t that I have hooked up til my team brood specters come in.
