I have ESC in aux 1 checked the details in Spirit software I assigned channel 1 to throttle controlling in unit and I adjust the travel -150 -150 still not arming not sure if I am doing anything wrong? also I reverse tail servo in radio did not see option in your software to do it is that correct thanks. All else seems to work running a 4651T spectrum with DX18 any tips or ideas would be appreciated Im a bit rusty in setups

Hey, sounds like you need to calibrate your throttle endpoints on the Castle ESC like this:

EDIT - Sorry, looks like that is not correct for helis and thinking about it, I think I did this on the Spirit itself (throttle endpoint values). Basically, you need to alter the upper and lower throttle endpoint values so the ESC will arm, does that make sense?

You only reverse channels in the TX when viewing controls in the diagnostics Tab. After the bar movements match the stick movements then do not reverse those channels in TX again. If servo then needs reversing you do it in the Servo Tab.

Thanks Appreciate the help.. I went to a JIVE pro the castle would not arm no matter what value I started with in the TX 30 and 30 and then worked up to 114 on the full it did arm bit the low point would never chime it went to 150 I gave up and went new ESC and works perfectly plus now I have telemarking but the cable (telme is too short to reach JIVE port and sat port on goblin 500 (older version)

I believe it was possible to make it work. But you are right that ICE ESC has not such telemetry capabilities as JIVE PRO.
