Binding to Hitec Minima 6E. Motor doesn't work.

Hello everyone. So many years after, i still fly with my trusted Devo 10. Recently i got chance to try a couple of Hitec Minima 6E receivers. Deviation supports the protocol, and although i manage to bind successfully, the motor never works the way it should with either the receivers. At the beginning it won't start, then if i keep the throttle up at somepoint it initiates, then works abnormally. I have tested all other components with other type of protocols (like DSM2, DSMX, Flysky), an everything works ok (all escs, and motor tested worked fine) but with the Hitec Minima receivers the motors (or maybe it is the escs) fail to work properly.

What am i missing? It must be something to do with the protocol, or a parameter i don't take into account. Note that i have tried the frequency fine tuning thing, it isn't the problem. Is there a known problem with Hitec protocol or Hitec Minima receivers? Thank you.

You mentioned the fine tuning but not the format option. Do you have format set to Minima? Only guessing as I don't have these receivers. Don't know of any problems with the protocol but hopefully someone with the receivers will post.

Yes, i have set the option to Minima (the other one is optima, for receivers with telemetry as far as i know). Also, my firmware is devo10-v5.0.0-c45cc8b, which is a bit old, but it dates well after the Hitec protocol was implemented. So, it must be ok.

Maybe it is because the throttle channel must have a starting value of less than -100 when binding and initializing the ESC, I have experienced this before with other models. Try it with -120 or a smaller value.

It is impressive that after so many years support of high level exists. I started by setting subtrim to -10, then -30, then -50 (that is the lowest that it gets), and i had no success. I noticed that the motor was even harder to start. So then i tried positive values for throttle subtrim, and at the sweet value of +17.5, the motor initializes and starts perfectly normal. I don't know why, but it does... Thank you very much for your replies.
