The hobbywing ezrun program card is super easy to use. All programming in this video, is base on settings I prefer for my Traxxas XMaxx 8s. These settings are not factory settings and I don’t recommend anyone to set there Max 6 esc to my preference. You have to make your own choice for your RC car or truck, you just have to find what settings work for your needs and your RC.
Thanks for watching and hope this helps you set up your Hobbywing Max 6.
I listed some parts down below, a lot of parts I bought off eBay and are no longer available. I know eBay was a lot cheaper for me, but I left some amazon links below if you rather go there. I know the motor is expensive for the 1275kv velineon replacement. I lucked out and found one new left on eBay for $99usd and the powerhobby battery’s I caught a sale on a double pack of 4s. So definitely check eBay often and you may score a deal as well.

GOD BLESS CHEERS & HAPPY DRIVING - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Best video out for this so far, thank you and greetings from austria ^^ great hobby too
Cheers and thank you 🙏
Appreciate the vid mate. Got a program card today. Have 4 cars with hobbywing, not sure how I lived without the program card for so long🤔 man it’s easy , no more counting beeps and pressing on/ set, press press press. Cheers for the tutorial.👍🏼
Cheers and thanks for watching. Don’t forget to set the battery cut off, I left mine off for the test run.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC sweet, thanks for the tip mate.
No worries, Cheers
Thanks for sharing Donnie. I really like that truck. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks bro, the XMaxx has so much power. The front belted tires blew right off 😂
so I put the max6 in my max 4s using stock motor so truck in forward is not moving fast but in reverse it goes like it should what do you think is wrong
hello Big Bro Donnie, excellent sharing! please stay healthy. God bless you and may all the best for you 👍👊🙏❤️🍺🍺
Thank you so much my brother, God bless you as well.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC do i use the programmer to set punch or speed?
Yes for the punch, and not the speed. Turning the punch up, will help you when your doing jumps.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC thanks soo much brother i did it but with out the programmer its not that hard thanks ❤ and i have a chassi protection but i dont have the screws🥲
Hi!
If I don't have a plug for fans,where should I put the card,for a generic 35A brushless ESC?
Thanks!!
Good job and info Donnie.
Thank you Gregory, have a great rest of your week brother.
Thank you sir🙏🏾😎
Very welcome and I thank you for watching!
Great vid really helped just fitted a max 6 to my xmaxx going punch 4 first dont want to shred my cheese spur 😂
I hear ya, thanks for stopping by.
Did your throttle cut out when switch to the hobby wing max 6
Great vid bro, thqnks for mentioning to hit "ok" after you enter a value. I flubbed that my first time with the card lol
Thanks Mike so much for watching
Nice video thank! Why do you disable the LVC?
Just for a few tests I did, I have it back on. I totally rebuilt the whole thing now and since I’ve been down and been very sick in and out of the hospital. So hopefully I can put a video together when I get well sometime and then get back to my Reviews again. Thanks so much for watching.
Nice tutorial my friend
I appreciate it so much, thanks for stopping in
Great information and video
Thank you Duke 😃🤙🍻
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC 👍😃
Great video, thanks :) Why on earth did they put the port on the fan socket? On the QUICRUN Fusion FOC System 2 in 1 ESC+Motor (1800KV) has the port on the start button!!! So much easier :)
Thanks 🙏
Nice 👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much
Hey so I just bought a max 5 esc and since I got it it’s been flashing red light idk what to do I have steering and the sec fan is working the controller is brand new and receiver, i tried another controller and did the same thing so I really need help and when I tried to calibrate it when I’m in neutral position and hold full throttle to switch the next position I get no beeps
I apologize, I’m out of town at the moment. Have you check on some of the rc forums? Kevin Talbot’s channel, he has done a lot of max 5 esc’s. Thanks for stopping by, I’ll have another look at your question when I get home.
Does programming the ESC help with throttle brownouts ?
You can program, however, much punch you want at the start or if you wanted to lag at the start it’s up to you that’s why you program the ESC. ESC also adjust the braking. I go over that in the video my friend. Thanks for watching. take care God bless.
I think you only need to hit OK when changing settings. Otherwise, simply press Item to get to the next position....👍
Your right brother, yeah I was getting used to that system. I already blown the gears this weekend at the Drag Strip 😂 Well time to rebuild again and again and again 🤣😂 thanks for watching and have a great one !
What is the best setting for lvc? My battery drained to 0% twice before my kraton stopped using the hobbywing max 6 which is not good at all. One of my batteries starting to puff a little. Thanks in advance
I usually have it set to the highest ivc, I think there is two settings on this one. Sorry it’s been a while since I messed with it, I been dealing with precancer this last year. Thanks so much for stopping by the channel.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC thanks for the reply and sorry to hear that. I hope everything gets better for you my friend
I appreciate that 😉👍
Nice programer.
Thank you Gary, that thing has so much torque
Would a LVC make my throttle cut out ?
The Rc will stop running at what LVC you set. Just don’t go to low on the voltage s you don’t wreck the battery.
I'm a bit late. But you have any idea why my max 5 is binding throttle to the steering? I can't seem to get the throttle to even register when in programming mode on the esc.
Make sure you have the wires right on the receiver. You may have the throttle where the steering is supposed to plug in, they sound like there plugged in backwards.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC ill give that a try
Just remember number one is the turn them, and number two is the burn them. That’s how I always remembered Where the servo wire goes and where the throttle wire goes. It’s always helped me, I hope you get it figured out soon my friend.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC i figured i plugged them in wrong haha. One other question if you don't mind. I've got throttle and brake, but no reverse, any idea why?
You have to program the esc
Hello..i have a Reely Deathwatcher Mustang 6s...which card do i need to program my esc? Red or blue? Thanks
You will have to look at your manual on that Arrma. This is for the Hobbywing Max 6 only.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RCok..the Deathwatcher has a Hobbywing esc
I don’t know which one it has, you can look it up and find a esc program card. Could be the same one?
Good information brother, now get out there and run that thing! Lol 🤣👍✌💯 POW!!!
Thanks DJ, I definitely ran it for only a few minutes. The front belted tires blew right off the front 🤣 Time to ditch powerhobby belted tires and get some proline steel belted. This thing just has too much torque.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Daaamn!!! 😲😲😲
It must really be fast if you're blowing out belted tires, you sound like DJ Soul Force, hopefully you got it on video too 👍🏾😎👍🏾
@@Herbflyinghigh I'm also hoping he got it on video. Dude, that the stuff that people wanna see... "light it up!" POW!!!
Lol, they came unglued and are splitting apart around the bead of of the tire. The tires are so stretched out.
Kindly I am facing a problem with the Max6, it seems that low voltage cut off is letting the voltage of the cells get very low to around 3 volts on the factory settings which is on medium. I don't know if I change it to high or low would help and cuts at a higher voltage. At the moment I am using a 5500mah 35c batteries and a Rocket 1720kv motor and I don't know if it's the batteries or esc that are causing this problem. Could someone assist me please?
Thanks
Try changing the cut off to kick on sooner with the program card. I always time my Rc’s just in case that cut off voltage fails. Try the highest cut off voltage, that should cut the voltage higher and not let it drain as low as you been having. Thanks for watching and let me know have it goes Joseph.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC Thanks for response I will try to change the settings and let you know the outcome meanwhile when I purchase another set of batteries I will try to get them with a higher (C) value at least 50c because when I used the standard 2050kv motor and 150amp blx esc I never had an issue the only problem that I found that once the pinion got loose and was binded with the motor mount does increasing the load on the esc and it didn't cut off until it was to late and it damaged the esc itself that I had to replace it. Thanks for your video it was very interesting.
Your welcome and thanks again for watching.
on number 9 i only get 1 and 2 for options, does that mean you can only pick 25% or 50% for reverse?
It should let you go through all the reverse percentages. Not to sure, I have mine on 1 for 25% so you may have to see what your #2 setting is a guess. Let me know if you try it, I never came across that on my Max 6 hobbywing esc before. Oh one last thing, for the servo setting I would keep it at 6v and not 7volts like I did. It could burn out your servo if yours is stock and not a high output servo like mine. Thanks for watching and hope this video helped ya. Be safe my friend
If I am running two 4s batteries, do I select 4s or 8s?
Are you combining the voltage series to make it an 8s right? Or are you running parallel which means it’s only 4s and your just adding a battery for more milliamps?
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC they are running in series. Negative esc to negative of plug 1... positive of plug1 to negative of plug2... Positive of plug2 to positive ESC.
That would make it 8s correct? By the way. It's for an rc car, but either way it would be the same programming.
Hello Friend, thanks for the explanation. You said you programm BEC on 7.4V. is it right all the electric components (receiver, Servo etc) must have a minimum voltage of 7.4 or higher? All my component beside the receiver (6.5v) have it and i was wondering if i can programm the BEC on 7.4v? Thanks a lot.
I upgraded the servo and it has no problem running at 7.4v but you do risk burning up the receiver. I should of mentioned that in the video, to be safe I would just run it at 6v. It should be able to handle that voltage, I just wanted a little more power to my servo since I was doing some heavy bashing.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC do you think i can Risk it? I still have An extra receiver. I drive buggy and like IT when its faster on 7.4v
For me I’m going to switch mine back to 6.0v, but the 7.4v sure made the servo and fans work much better. Right now I’m tapped out on cash so I don’t want to buy another 30 dollar receiver. I may run separate 6.0v to my receiver so I can put the 7.4v to that servo. So my answer is it’s at your own risk, I’m not going to say run it at 7.4v. But I think that servo would be fine, it’s the receiver I feel will end up burning out. I hate to say ya run it and then yours burns out, that would not be good.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC what do you mean with "i run separate 6v on my receiver so i can put 7.4v on my Servo'? You mean a separate BEC for the receiver? If so please let me know which solution you chose😉
I’m saying that I would like to be able to just run a separate 6v system to my receiver only. That way I can have the bec 7.4v from the esc run my servo and fans. You see what I’m saying? Anyways thanks for watching and be safe out there. I have to get going, Cheers
How do I change the BEC to 7.4 volts
Hey thanks for watching, I show in the video what to select if you want to set the BEC. I don’t remember offhand right now I’ve been very ill and in the hospital. Sorry I can’t be much of help at this moment.
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC done mate thank you easy if you got the program card and wow what a difference it makes my servo is like a whole new servo and my fans are just nuts
If you don't have the lovage cutoff is that dangerous?
Yes but I am not running disabled at this time now, just had it off on the video. I wanted to research what the best cut off would be for these batteries. I have the low voltage set and I dropped the servo volts down as well. Thanks John for watching, be safe out there.
If I were to turn the punch level up to 4 on my max 6, is it strong enough to do any damage on my x maxx?
I haven’t had any problems. It’s up to you on how much punch you want on take off. The only problem I’ve been having it’s a power transfer, I’ve been having power transferring more to the front. But that has to do with the diffs. I’m rebuilding the bottom half now, it’s a bit of a mess from the previous owner. Thanks for watching
@@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC ok, thanks. I have a modded 6s x maxx, I run the whole 8s Cush drive assembly with 6s diffs and so far I haven’t had a problem for 5 months and I sure hope I don’t either lol
You will be fine, that’s the whole fun of it. Break it and repair it.
Good! Bro~!
Thanks so much
