I'm pretty new to this stuff, so if I'm completely off somewhere, excuse my ignorance....I recently bought the RC Timer 30A esc's w/ simon K for a build I'm doing and haven't been able to get them into programming mode. I've tried two different programming cards (Turnigy and Hobbywing) with no success (card just won't light up). I've tried going directly to the card powering from the ESC (it has a built in BEC) and also tried clipping the power wire from the ESC and powering the card with an external battery. I tried to manually enter programming mode with no success - all I can get are the three beeps that arm. I tried calibrating my Rx throttle to the ESC's with no success. I figured to hell with it. I'll wire it up and see if the stock settings fly o.k. After calibrating the Naza, it is clear that something is amiss. The two front motors fire up right away with throttle, one rear motor fires up at half throttle, and the other one at about 75% throttle. I'm obviously suspecting the ESC's. So, now I'm stuck. Not sure what to do. I don't know how to flash ESC's and I'm thinking about scrapping the RCTimers and trying something else. Any advice out there??

I don't think you need to programme Simon k esc, just calibrate the end points.

Thanks for the reply Jake. I've tried to calibrate the end points based on pg. 3 of this...http://www.sarkanyellato.hu/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/RC-Timer-10.18.30.40A-ESC-Instruction.pdf
with no success. with throttle at top, I'll power up the esc's and all I get is the standard 123 beep. If I move the throttle to the bottom, nothing.
