To make the motor and esc work you need to keep holding the trigger on full power or full reverse for a few seconds and then let go of it it should then make different beeping noise. For me the motors and escs have worked really well :)
I have the blue 120a gool rc esc and it's definitely not waterproof . I hit a big puddle with my sc10 and literally had fire 🔥 another thing to watch out for is make sure it say programmable in the description of the ad or you won't be able to program it. Other than that my sc10 rips with a 3100kv brushless motor. I was getting some serious air with it at the skate park yesterday. You must have a defective one . Did you turn the transmitter on first?
did you calibrate. most of the no name brand escs need the program card that is just the LED dots, you know the one. also was your radio ch2 dead center? sometimes if you move it a little off center one way or another it may auto calibrate. i prefer either the blue Hobbystar stuff from RCjuice or red RocketRC stuff from Supass. I have had zero issues over the years with those two brands. My RocketRC 160amp 6s esc blows my Hobbywing quickrun 150amp out the door. i tried both in the same Vendetta with the same purple turnigy XK 6s motor and gearing and the RocketRC is the winner at 1/3 to 1/2 the price!
Great tip on the RocketRC brand. I didn't have the program card for mine, but I did trim it to get it working. But it's still inconsistent, even shuts off after the occasional jump which is annoying.
Long story long, I used to race a hotshot in the 80s. I recently picked up a used slash for less than $200. My wife (who has never driven an RC) said she will woop me! So yesterday I bought a Stampede for her to drive for $150. Both are brushed but today we bashed them and she had a great time as long as the bulldog didn't have the body of them in his mouth lol
@@ToxicGaming-nx6xk I've had to play around with the throttle trim to get it to work right. To be honest, this esc is not very good, it loses programming all the time, I can't stand it anymore. Hope yours works out!
Holyshit I played with it for hours and then came across your comment and I turned it on and dialed it in you dial the throttle turn to the south of beeping you're absolutely correct
My Futaba TBLE-02S did the same. Rapid beeping and the steering servo worked but no throttle. Tried everything to reset/program the ESC (and those come with instructions). It wasn't throttle end points or trim settings. It was a bad Rx/binding issue. The rapid beeping usually indicates the ESC isn't getting a signal. I put in a new Rx and it worked perfectly. Mine was a Tactic Rx. Perhaps try swapping out the Rx or rebinding to see if that works.
My guess would be that you received a cosmetic qc failure, which was either purchased by a third party or just sold unbranded by goolrc. Since it didn't pass, it doesn't get their name on it. I think that's the most likely reason because both products were blemished but functional. If you're not big on appearances it's actually a great way to cut costs on builds/spares
Always check if it's faster in reverse if you're not getting the power you want @ full throttle forward see what full throttle reverse is. I still have not figured out how to change motor rotation. I'm stumped too.
I just had the same problem. Doesn't work with my little sons car, but did work once I tried my Transmitter and Receiver and worked within my bigger sons car. Solution: The Transmitter throttle from my little sons RTR wasn't centered and that caused the problem! As it has no display for the calibration I haven't been aware that the throttle wasn't on 0
Wish I'd seen your video before buying. I now subscribe to your channel. Funny thing, my motor came with red, yellow, black leads and the esc came with blue, orange, yellow leads. Mine did nothing as well. The motor and esc heated up though. I smell ozone. This was an Amazon purchase.....and return. Thanks for the video!
That's a BL3660 which is a 550 motor with a 5mm shaft. The BL3650 is a 540 motor with a 3,17mm shaft. Also, that's not a GoolRC motor but maybe made by same maker.
The ad from which I purchased the motor/esc advertised it as Gool RC which was why I ordered it, I've had great luck with their products and am a big fan. I received a beat up knock off... lol!
I wish my Wife was into RC's but she just likes going to the spa and traveling. So far my GoolRC setup has been doing fine in my 12th scale buggy. They are super cheap and probably not really tested at the factory so maybe some of the ESC's are faulty. Just a guess on my part.
I tossed one of these in a Rustler. It acts like it has a power band though. It's really strange. Half throttle it cruises around just find but anything beyond that is like a two stroke hitting power band and it just wants to wheelie uncontrollably. power is just not linear.
@@poorboysrc I appreciate the input. I have several high end RC cars like 2 electric Losi TLRs 8ights for bashing and fpv fun. I justborder a WLtoys 12428 to upgrade and improve on its existing setup with custom and aftermarket parts. For the price, it's not bad and it has plenty aftermarket goodies
@@jeffv2074 yeah dude, the WL toys lineup is absolutely unbeatable from a value perspective. I've got the 1/10 buggy by them and it's all sorts of awesome! I made a running video on it, which you may enjoy! 🤙
I have two 60 amp Gool esc that are junk just like yours. I have tried everything I know to make them work on a brushed Traxxas 2wd Slash. Disappointed is an understatement and to top it off GoolRC will not respond to technical support emails either.
Ah that sucks dude, sorry to hear. Looks like these esc's are really hit or miss, mostly miss! Best to stick with the name brand electronics for sure. I'll never buy this combo again.
Great video bro, sucks about the esc don't worry it's just the trim setting and as for the program card look up shaluoman program card or young rc program card. I legit use these in my crawlers and they work great
Are you using LiPo , they are all set for LiPo , also may need calibration , if servo works and flashing red calibration is required ..have few of the same setups and work amazing ..it's more water resistant
I have the same thing. Not Ramses Gool RC, It did not beep but rather did nothing l. Fan came on, but I can’t accelerate or turn… It’s a bad ESC out of the Factory
Well I already made the mistake buying this combo. Mine was goolrc branded and the box was also branded. Ran it with my Traxxas Bandit this morning and quite frankly I'm putting the stock motor back in. Because I don't have a gps but my vision is pretty good and it looked and felt slower than the stock setup. It's even slow on 3s. I'm just going to wait a while and get the vxl upgrade, I'm not looking to go Mach 12 so that will be just fine. Great commentary and content definitely subscribing ✊🏾. Oh and if your wife knows any women in the Northeast United States that are into r/c vehicle's please point them in my direction lol
Hey pal thanks for the awesome comment and the sub! Too bad the motor wasn't quite what you were hoping for, I found it to be just OK as well. I'll get the wife to check her friends list and send you a full update! Lol! 🤣👊
Okay so I bought two put one in the wife's car just like you... no problems what so ever... runs great!! it's fast and quick but on the other hand put one in mine and I'm getting the fast beeping now but worked great at first.. seems like mine works, don't works works, don't works.... Also bought a silver programming card which doesn't work..
Mine has done the same thing, works well, then kinda acts sketchy... You need to adjust your throttle trim on your radio until the beeping stops (and the esc self-calibrates to neutral). Take the tires off the buggy, and start playing around with your throttle trim. Eventually the eac will find neutral and work properly! 💪
I'm also having problems with like out of the blue the my trucks won't go... It will run pretty good for 2-3 minutes and then just stop and I have no throttle.. after about 45 seconds to a minute it starts working again... works for a minute or two and then no throttle again..
@@charlesstroud6592 yeah dude mine did the exact same thing... I played with the trim every time until it worked. Last time the wife had it out it worked 100% for a full 30 minute pack. Keep trying, I think you're almost there.
Okay thanks alot... I'll mess with it when I get a chance but one more question did you ever figure out anything about how to program the ESC on this gool rc
@@charlesstroud6592 no I didn't, as far as I know the program card is the only way to do it. Seems like a pretty basic unit. I don't think I'd buy it again. The motors are OK, but the esc firmware is... well... not great.
I am definitely Lucky enough to have a Wife that will join me in driving around. I am going to build a Midnight Pumpkin totally Ampro engineered out for her this October. I ran into the same issue with another Goolrc set and it had issues because of the set points on the transmitter. Even at zero it wasn’t happy so I unplugged it from channel 2 and plugged into channel 1 and ram throttle from steering for a moment then switched it back to channel 2 and it miraculously was fixed I am not sure why.. Sorry for the long message lol.
Are you Using a Lipo battery?. If not that may be a"low votage" alarm. Oh! So my girl friend said she would not make me learn Bridge if I don't make her drive one of my cars.
I heard the same thing. “Oh! There great try one for only $40 bucks bla bla”, others are paying the price. Think I buy something else more reputable. 🇨🇱👍
I ended up getting it working, turns out the esc doesn't find neutral very well as it auto-calibrates. After playing around with my throttle trim, I got it to work! 👊
My daughter is the one who rc's with me. Her favorite car is Tamiya Wild Willy and her Sendero crawler. Bad reciever, Anyways! hopefully you get the esc to work. Let us know
That's awesome man, RC with the family is the way to go! 👊 I tried three receivers, none worked... I even tried plugging the motor into another esc I have and it worked for a few seconds then stopped. The motor arrived with a dent in the can, I think something may be damaged internally.
@@poorboysrc I dont know what to say but try and return it, If you ever make it to The Land of 10,000 Lakes I'll gift you a Tamiya Blackfoot Xtreme, as long as you mention me and preview on your channel. Lol

For something better quality, try the Spektrum Firma lineup. I've got them in a few kits now and I love it! Waterproof, programmable and not cheap junk like this esc is. 🤣
How did you set your end points? The instructions my combo came with don't provide any EPA setup methods. From what I can tell this esc is supposed to be a "plug and play" like Hobbywing, etc...
@@poorboysrc I want to say I RUclips it lol. But you might turn it on with the throttle pressed all the way then it beeps and immediately put full reverse. Definitely take the tires off for this. I didn't once my axial bomber climbed the garage wall really fast.🤣
@@ryanwebster2167 hahaha I did the same thing with a 1/8 e-buggy about 10 years ago... Chewed a hole in the floor in about 5 seconds! Lol! 🤣 Thanks for the advice, I'll start playing with it and see if I can manage to get it calibrated.
U running a Lipo pack ? If not it sounds like its in the wrong mode on the esc....i dont run brushless but it sounds like it...it could be a dud esc....reach out to to their customer service if not return it....:)
Yeah pal I'm running lipo. I tried several different configurations. Lipo, nimh, even tried using the motor with a different esc, no luck. It ran for a few seconds and that was about it. 😭
So lucky r u.... I guess I'm lucky also, my girlfriend tolerates and supports us kids. ... she is the Secretary/Treasurer of our local club and does a lot for us kids to he able to race... but she doesn't drive RCs at all... would be cool to enjoy together, even just casual driving around the park or street...or...
Hi i have a problem, I bought a lil brushless combo online and it was dirt cheap. It looked very good so i gave it a try and the top speed is very good but when i wanna get of the line i give full throttle and the motor makes sounds for 1-3 seconds and then drives normally as nothing happens. But always when i wanna start to drive or wanna go uphill at low speeds, it makes this. Has anyone a fix for that?
Does it only do it at low speed? Most of the cheap brushless setuos are non-sensored. Which means at low speed it will "cog" or move erratically, jerking as it goes. Then when you apply more throttle it smooths out. Sounds like this is your issue.
Yes, all sensorless brushless motors will cog badly at low speeds. Benefit: They're typically less expensive than sensored and considered more waterproof than sensored. Sensored motors have a wire running from the motor to the esc. Most are considered not waterproof because of this, although some manufactures are producing them as waterproof now. Benefit: Sensored brushless motors run silky smooth at low RPM. Check out the Hobbywing AXE, it's CRAZY how smooth they got it! Hope that helps! 👊
@@poorboysrc never knew that I thought they just always used screws till I saw this ESC but I have one other question, I wanna know about what gearing it can handle
@@La01781 I would stick with the gearing the kit manual suggests. If you're looking for more speed you can start increasing pinion size, but monitor motor and esc Temps to make sure you don't over gear. 👊
@@poorboysrc it's such a hard balance isn't it? You can find some absolute bargains on both but occasionally as you said you end up with duds and end up paying twice 🤦♂️
I have this it done this with me lol it's a good set up you just need to reset your transmitter settings lol it's for safety so it doesn't take off when you turn it on lol
@@poorboysrc try rebinding the transmitter that can also be the issue can be temperamental when setting it up but mine now runs fine getting 60 mph in my 1/10 drift car and it's not waterproof I'd say water resistant a little lol but good luck with the ESC
@@K1LT3DSN1P3R ok pal I'll give it a go today. Lots of good advice coming in from you guys so I've got a few things to try. If I works I'll change the thumbnail, I promise! 🤣
That sucks brotha, have you tried hitting it with a hammer lol!!! unfortunately in this hobby, if you buy cheap junk you get cheap junk! i've "learned" this lesson the hard way a few times.

To make the motor and esc work you need to keep holding the trigger on full power or full reverse for a few seconds and then let go of it it should then make different beeping noise. For me the motors and escs have worked really well :)
I have tried that and mine still runs at half speed.
@@doughboy1966 Have you tried to "reverse" the "throttle servo" on your transmitter? *Usually Channel 2.

Adjust your forward reverse on controller to 0
Adjust the controller forward reverse to 0
did you calibrate.
most of the no name brand escs need the program card that is just the LED dots, you know the one. also was your radio ch2 dead center? sometimes if you move it a little off center one way or another it may auto calibrate.

It's awesome that you and your wife can enjoy a little RC action together. 😎
You have to set the throttle trim and will make a different beeping sound and then stop beeping. And then should work .Hpoe this helps.
Thanks pal! Yeah got it dialed in a few weeks back (thank goodness!) 😊

Mine is faster in reverse can't figure that out. Reversed on controller and it's faster in reverse when I pull the trigger forward.
Holyshit I played with it for hours and then came across your comment and I turned it on and dialed it in you dial the throttle turn to the south of beeping you're absolutely correct

@@poorboysrc how did you get it set
@@chrisjones8163 I had to trim the throttle on the radio until the esc set itself to neutral.
My guess would be that you received a cosmetic qc failure, which was either purchased by a third party or just sold unbranded by goolrc. Since it didn't pass, it doesn't get their name on it. I think that's the most likely reason because both products were blemished but functional. If you're not big on appearances it's actually a great way to cut costs on builds/spares
Yeah I knew it was a bit of a gamble, but it was worth it. The esc leaves lots to be desired, but the motor is great!
I’ve had this happen. I mucked around with the throttle neutral on the transmitter, and it stopped.
Same here, the esc still acts a little glitchy sometimes tho.
Always check if it's faster in reverse if you're not getting the power you want @ full throttle forward see what full throttle reverse is. I still have not figured out how to change motor rotation. I'm stumped too.
Typically with brushless motors if you just swap any of the two motor wires it'll change the rotation.

If you ever make it to The Land of 10,000 Lakes I'll gift you a Tamiya Blackfoot Xtreme, as long as you mention me and preview on your channel. Lol
@@JeepsCafe hey now there's an offer I can't refuse! I was at the new Viking Stadium a few years back, Metallica played there, it was insane! If they ever go back I might pop in for a visit and a Blackfoot! 🤣 (and of course you'll get all the props on the channel!)
@@poorboysrc awesome!
Mine doesn't go but she supports my hobby and tells me to get out and go rc'ing with my buddies more than I do
That's awesome man! As long as she supports it, that's all that matters! 👍🏻
I ran mine through water, that is why I am now watching videos of cheap motor/esc combo to find a better replacement.
For something better quality, try the Spektrum Firma lineup. I've got them in a few kits now and I love it! Waterproof, programmable and not cheap junk like this esc is. 🤣
You might want to try and set throttle end points. I bought a set for $25 bucks that was the same thing and after I did that it was okay
How did you set your end points? The instructions my combo came with don't provide any EPA setup methods. From what I can tell this esc is supposed to be a "plug and play" like Hobbywing, etc...
@@poorboysrc I want to say I RUclips it lol. But you might turn it on with the throttle pressed all the way then it beeps and immediately put full reverse. Definitely take the tires off for this. I didn't once my axial bomber climbed the garage wall really fast.🤣
@@ryanwebster2167 hahaha I did the same thing with a 1/8 e-buggy about 10 years ago... Chewed a hole in the floor in about 5 seconds! Lol! 🤣
Thanks for the advice, I'll start playing with it and see if I can manage to get it calibrated.
U running a Lipo pack ? If not it sounds like its in the wrong mode on the esc....i dont run brushless but it sounds like it...it could be a dud esc....reach out to to their customer service if not return it....:)
Or its wired wrong from the factory...it sounds from the being almost like the polarity is wrong too? Maybe
Yeah pal I'm running lipo. I tried several different configurations. Lipo, nimh, even tried using the motor with a different esc, no luck. It ran for a few seconds and that was about it. 😭
@@Tailgatesntoolboxes I thought that too. Tried many different wiring combos off camera... no go.
So lucky r u.... I guess I'm lucky also, my girlfriend tolerates and supports us kids. ... she is the Secretary/Treasurer of our local club and does a lot for us kids to he able to race... but she doesn't drive RCs at all... would be cool to enjoy together, even just casual driving around the park or street...or...
That's great that she's supportive. Buy her a kit, a fun kit, build it together, let her paint it up her way, she'll be hooked! 🤩
Will this fit in something like a Axial scx10 transmission
It will fit, but it's not what you want in a crawler. It's way too fast. Look at the spektrum 2-in-1 motor/esc. They're wicked in a crawler! 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc I'm trying to build the world's fastest crawler on a Budget So trying to find something cheap But fast thank you.
@@adamharvey2902 oh, hahaha. Well then yes, this will work.
The boomerang. I had one as a kid
Fun buggy!
Turn the throttle trim down mine did the same. The throttle trim on ur remote is too high
That fixed it, thanks man!
I got one sent to me with two of the wire not attached they were held on by shrink tube lol
Oh man, that's brutal!!! 🤦
I wish we could get my wife to get involved with us. Maybe then she’d understand why Grayson and I love it so much
Just get her out one time and she'll be hooked! (Hopefully) 😆🍻
that esc has its own program card
Cool stuff, I wasn't aware of that. 👍🏻
Hi i have a problem,
I bought a lil brushless combo online and it was dirt cheap. It looked very good so i gave it a try and the top speed is very good but when i wanna get of the line i give full throttle and the motor makes sounds for 1-3 seconds and then drives normally as nothing happens. But always when i wanna start to drive or wanna go uphill at low speeds, it makes this. Has anyone a fix for that?
Does it only do it at low speed?
Most of the cheap brushless setuos are non-sensored. Which means at low speed it will "cog" or move erratically, jerking as it goes. Then when you apply more throttle it smooths out. Sounds like this is your issue.
@@poorboysrc yes it is so i only can fix it with buying a sensorless system?
Yes, all sensorless brushless motors will cog badly at low speeds. Benefit: They're typically less expensive than sensored and considered more waterproof than sensored.
Sensored motors have a wire running from the motor to the esc. Most are considered not waterproof because of this, although some manufactures are producing them as waterproof now. Benefit: Sensored brushless motors run silky smooth at low RPM. Check out the Hobbywing AXE, it's CRAZY how smooth they got it!
Hope that helps! 👊
I have the rustler 2wd and I have no clue on how to mount the esc
Just use some 2-sided tape and tape it to the chassis. 👊
@@poorboysrc so tape will actually hold up? 😂
@@La01781 sure will, most kits come with tape for this very purpose. I use it on all of mine, works great! 👌
@@poorboysrc never knew that I thought they just always used screws till I saw this ESC but I have one other question, I wanna know about what gearing it can handle
@@La01781 I would stick with the gearing the kit manual suggests. If you're looking for more speed you can start increasing pinion size, but monitor motor and esc Temps to make sure you don't over gear. 👊
I've always found eBay to be a bit of a lottery when ordering RC parts
You said it, Rich! I've had great luck on eBay and Amazon for years, but my last couple orders have been duds. 😭
@@poorboysrc it's such a hard balance isn't it? You can find some absolute bargains on both but occasionally as you said you end up with duds and end up paying twice 🤦♂️
@@richsmith6810 you got it! Ah well, take the good with the bad, right! Have a great weekend pal! 🤙
No just turn all your transmitter this means your throttle or reverse is not set to 0 mess with your transmitter settings it will work lol
I have this it done this with me lol it's a good set up you just need to reset your transmitter settings lol it's for safety so it doesn't take off when you turn it on lol
I checked the transmitter, it was set to 0 trim. Also tried reversing the channel, but still nothing...
@@poorboysrc try rebinding the transmitter that can also be the issue can be temperamental when setting it up but mine now runs fine getting 60 mph in my 1/10 drift car and it's not waterproof I'd say water resistant a little lol but good luck with the ESC
@@K1LT3DSN1P3R ok pal I'll give it a go today. Lots of good advice coming in from you guys so I've got a few things to try. If I works I'll change the thumbnail, I promise! 🤣
I won't tell the wife u got the cheao ebay stuff 😆
Hahahaha thanks pal! 🤣
Dude you need to send your ended points.
Yeah I did that, finally got it calibrated that way. ESC is still meh in my opinion, but the motors are decent!
I wrench while she cooks we call it a fair trade
Haha, solid relationship! 👌
That sucks brotha, have you tried hitting it with a hammer lol!!! unfortunately in this hobby, if you buy cheap junk you get cheap junk! i've "learned" this lesson the hard way a few times.
I was thiiiis close to getting the hammer out, Bill! 🤣
Reverse your two outside motor wires
if id could afford another one lol we share mines well ours smh i bet shell have more fun if she had her own rc and no new bright shit like i tried lol
Low Voltage not low votage oops!
Adjust throttle trime
All done! 👊
Oh I know that problem your controller trim is Different it’s hard to explain I’ll make a RUclips video where you can only see it through a link and i’ll put it in the comments of this comment that’s the only way I can send a RUclips link
Cool dude, interested to see! 👊
@@poorboysrc Video just went live
@@poorboysrc ruclips.net/video/y_FgC5vADFQ/видео.html
Throttle trim.
Yeah I played with it and finally got it going. 👊
I don't care if it's rated for 3s. Don't.
Did you have one go up in flames on ya?
My wife sead that my toys cost to much lol
🤣🤣🤣 time for a secret credit card! 🤣🤣🤣
They are trash.
I just wasted 150 on one of these
Yeah the esc's are brutal!
So does anyone know what program card works with this esc??
I'm not too sure...
