Hobbywing Pentium 40A ESC into calibrate/throttle range mode

Hmm having difficulty getting my ESC's into calibrate mode using the max throttle - connect ESC's - down throttle method.
Using Hobbywing 40A Pentium and Hitec Aurora.
Done this a good many times with Turnigy Plush with no problem.
Any Ideas?

They do all enter cal, or throttle range set mode, with hi/lo stick method, when individually connected to Rx channel 3. so it would seem to be a Naza issue.
With them all calibrated by this method, cannot get any motors to start however, when all connected back up to ESC outputs on Naza.

look at naza assistant and make sure the sticks move the sliders all the way over. if not, bump up the endoints till it does. sometimes d/r gets in the the way of CSC

the lastest firmwares addressed all the turnigy esc problems, i thought

Yeah, Ive always used 18A Turnigy ESC's in the past and never had a problem, these HW ones are supposedly the same ESC's as Turnigy plush 40A. so thought they would be fine.
As I recall the sliders are all going to the ends but I'll check, thanks Kloner.

Something I did notice, was that the LED would double flash amber when I did the CSC command, I think it did it with any stick input actually.
It must be something in the Naza settings.
Off to sea tomorrow unfortunately so it will have to wait.
