Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right section, so sorry if it is.

So after 3 weeks of waiting for my kk2 board to arrive from hobbyking China I finally got my hands on it. However after setting it up for my tri copter I've found out that the board doesn't seem to work.
What I've manage to find out is that only the M1 motor pins seem to work as I can't get the other escs to boot on any other pins.
Has anyone else had any other problems like this with the kk2 ?
If it is faulty would it be worth trying to get a replacement from hobbyking or just go for a Paypal dispute as I've heard that there customer support isn't exactly amazing ?

Thanks,

Jay

What esc's are they?

Are the negatives esc wires on the leading edge of the board?

How is the KK2 being powered?

They are 25a plush ESCs, all wired correctly and work as Ive tested them on another kk2 Ive got on my quad.
The power is coming from the bec from the M1 ESC

I'd open a paypal dispute straight away if the board is faulty. 

HobbyKing after sales service is a slow slog so just open dispute to get things moving.

Ps did you do a throttle range calibration by pressing and holding down buttons 1 and 4 on the KK (just checking)

As far as I can tell everything works fine aside from only the one set of pins working :S

The KK2 is a bit strange in that it need power to M1 and power to M2-M8. I had mine wired to take the M1 power off the ESC an the rest off a BEC.

All of the connections to the escs are powered by the escs becs, the same setup works perfectly on my other kk2 board so it must just be faulty :S
