I just got a M17 for drag. Very nice radio. Is there any way to set up a launch control button? Or engine cut ?One that wont over ride the throttle ramp? Great videos, keep up the great work.
I’m about to pick one of these up and this is exactly what I needed to know. Quick question, is there a way to set a “trans brake”. Basically hold a button, pin the throttle and let go of the button when I’m ready to launch? Likely not ideal but just curious.
What about the curve setting ? Do u always just want the straight curve or would you want to bend it half way down the track ? Mark mentions r modes ? Could u explain these ?
What advice can you give me to be the best in drag racing, My goal is to be number one and break records,how can I get off the line real fast with good speed . I plan on starting next year’s but I want to get ahead of the game, and what good chassis and motor and esc you can recommend for me.
Well I’m not gonna bullshit ya and tell you I know all the secrets to being number one. But a good start is a B6.3 based Street Sweeper Chassis and an R1 Digital 3 ESC with the Castle 6400 4 pole motor. Sanwa M17 remote. A really good tire prep and a super consistent routine and many many many hours of testing and tuning. Voodoo tires if you can get them. As far as breaking records… I wish you the best but this drag racing thing isn’t easy. Start with baby steps and just make sure you can make consistent straight passes. Then work on turning it up. Best advice I have
You can see the stock DR10 tub chassis car as well as the newer Mid engine Sc6.2 based car run in my List racing videos and my Brunswick event videos. I’m Dennis in the videos
Do you know anything about the telemetry? I looked into my settings under telemetry and my max scale was only 30000 rpm. I'm running a Gen 4 3.5 Tekin. Any info? Thanks
I actually looked into it this morning and it doesn’t limit the car in anyway. Mine is also on the default setting of 30,000 and I am turning 73,000 rpm on my average drag run. It seems to be a setting for how many RPMs you want the telemetry to read up to.
Next question - Do you know how to set up a scramble button on the M17. I saw this in a video - added timing when button is pushed but of course no one shows you how to do it. Or makes your transmission a 2 speed. Do you know anything about this?
Yes. It is simple to do. Just set up one of your buttons for R mode and click over to R mode and select the throttle D/R you want and it will switch to that the instant you push the button you have that set percentage of throttle. With the m17 you can have 5 R modes or shift 5 times but I prefer the method shown in the video. It is smoother and far more consistent
@@gravityracergt It may sound easy - but I tried and cannot quite get it - how about a video. You will be the only one on TH-cam that dares to show how to do this. I an using the ramping function you showed on this video on a daily basis - Thank you.
The D/R is the Dual Rate. It will only give you that % of the throttle. It’s necessary when you have a low turn motor such as a 2.0 or 2.5 turn motor. If you use 100% on those motors you’ll over amp the ESC and get a huge voltage drop. Also those motors make so much power that you can’t use it all.. Currently with a 2.5T motor I’m running 2.2@69mph with no timing added and only 80% D/R
Go to curve in the setting and set all the points to your liking. Then you have to put the In/Out setting to Out and set your Forward somewhere between -93 and -99 and set your point below the setting on your first stage on your curve. Pull trigger and it should do what you have set in the curve
@@gravityracergt please make a video on the 9 point setup. NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE JUST BECAUSE THIS VIDEO WAS VERY HELPFUL AND ILL BE WATCH FOR MORE VIDEOS..💪🔥💯
They both can ramp in the power very effectively. Both have been used to go very fast. In my experience with them the Sanwa is a lot easier to learn and use and also is much more straight forward. The Sanwa also can offer a much more in depth ability to fine tune IF you wanted to set up all 9 stages.. But I just use the Point and Forward Speed ramp. Basically I pick a good launch power and a good stable ramp rate and let it eat.
@@gravityracergt nice i ordered limited edition sanwa m17 but as im waiting for it thought about returning because like look and ease of use of futaba 7px. But still not sure. Mainly got for drag r1 combo.
@@gravityracergt i like the let it eat. Lol. Im a noob. Not going to try to be professional grade drag racer. Just mostly run in front of house etc. But still want to tune accordingly. U think the 7px is good enough? Do soke top guys use futaba? Or the top guys use sanwa m17?
@@mikeinvegas1 a lot more are using the M17. I’ll put it this way.. Ihave seen quite a few people including Frank Ulbrick drop the Futaba and get the M17. Don’t know if anyone that has left the Sanwa to go to the Futaba
Just bought the Sanwa M17. The issue I'm having is my servo keeps making a noise. Is there a setting I can perform to fix issue. If I put my old receiver back on the steering servo is fine. I've removed my servo horn held in hand servo still make noise. Bought a new servo and still making noise. Can you please! Got a big race this Saturday.
The response and sensitivity is really fast on the Sanwa. You may need to go to settings and put a slight dead band in it so there is a slight dead spot between left and right
I found this out but it’s good advice for anyone else that has the problem haha. Not sure when I had bumped it but yes. SW3 button definitely was causing my remote to start up on the wrong screen. Thanks bro
@@bryangill9345 It’s not mentioned because it is so car specific.. You can build two identical cars and one will take more Start power than it’s twin.. It also changes from day to day as far as how much power can be used through the ESC.. I’ll do a video and go over a good basic set up and explain what settings to use for certain adjustments
Damn, you are the only racer willing to show how to do this. Thank You!!!!!
Damn. If this video doesn’t make me even more excited about getting a M17! Thank you for making this! 👍🏽
thank you so much! finally a how to video. SUBSCRIBED
This is by far the best video on the net about this radio. I’ve watched this so many times. Thank u !!!
This is what I needed to know brother, you are the man .I been using the stock rtr trash dr10 radio this is gonna be a game changer . Thanks man
Awesome, been trying to do this on my M12S RS. Works on the M12S RS too. Thank you
Just got my M17 to match up with the new Mountain Dew 4P motor and ESC. Easy Peasy now. Thanks buddy.
One big thank you to you!!!!
Great information! For me this radio feels like a Lethal Weapon. Swear I hear Star Wars music in my mind when I turn it on... lol
LOL
Great video my friend make more about the m17
Nice tutorial!;) nicely done
Thanks
Awesome video 🙏 🙏🙏 I just took out a small loan for this radio and was wondering how to do this on the throttle . Great info Thanks again
Glad I could help ! Message me if you have any other questions and I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge
👍
No joke about the loan lol its sit down expensive
@@gravityracergt I need some help on my drk or any esc for that matter do I turn everything up first then tune from remote ?

Do you think you can do more Doorslammers videos
Kindly do you use the throttle curve and does it has a launch control and a good AVC?
👍🏾💯
Have you messed with a custom throttle curve vs a linear curve?
Feed us more videos good sir!
Like video thanks
Hey man can you start back tuning on door slammers this new update killed me
I’m about to pick one of these up and this is exactly what I needed to know.
Quick question, is there a way to set a “trans brake”.
Basically hold a button, pin the throttle and let go of the button when I’m ready to launch? Likely not ideal but just curious.
Yes you can do it but you lose the ramping feature
..... "You'll lose the ramping feature"........
that's reason though for me to not use a launch button!
But if you have a DRK you can use the ramp feature within the esc and then use the trans brake function
Subbed.. been trying to figure out if shoud get this radio or a 7px. For drag. With r1 combo
M17. A lot of people have left the Futaba 7PXr for the M17
What about the curve setting ? Do u always just want the straight curve or would you want to bend it half way down the track ? Mark mentions r modes ? Could u explain these ?
The curve can be very useful IF you know what you need as far as power management. R modes is cool but it’s something I really don’t use.

When you turn down the throttle D/R to 90 will I only get 90% of max power of the motor? If so how do I get the other 10% of my motor?

Currently with a 2.5T motor I’m running 2.2@69mph with no timing added and only 80% D/R
r-mode, throttle dual rate on. Then when you press the button mapped to r mode, the 10% is activated
What about the "9 stage launch" or whatever people are doing with the throttle curve?
I can show that in a video. It’s a little more involved hehe
@@gravityracergt I just need to know how to use the feature.
Go to curve in the setting and set all the points to your liking. Then you have to put the In/Out setting to Out and set your Forward somewhere between -93 and -99 and set your point below the setting on your first stage on your curve. Pull trigger and it should do what you have set in the curve
