    U no your stuff bro thanks . On my new max 8 I had to do mine in the reverse order . Mine kept going to reverse. So do it in the reverse order nutural set. Reverse set. Then full throttle set. Turn esc off an back on . It should have forward newtural an full throttle. Thanks again bro. I have learned alot from u over the years.

    Great video. That glitching is the result of combining a good steering servo with the cheap traxxas radio. I have 2 traxxas radios combined with savox servos and they both glitch from time to time and glitch busters didnt fix the problem..... but a sanwa radio did

Further question on the Hobbywing ESC: is is “smart” as well as the OEM that when you want to reverse an already stopped truck you do not need to brake first and then reverse but the electronics knows that the vehicle is stopped and initiate reverse for the first frint pushing of the trigger on the radio? Thanks

      Make sure your batteries are properly charged and the batteries are not bad LiPO batteries will go bad if they're not put in storage charge after use and then charge properly also make sure the speed control is calibrated correctly look up for the speed control brand that you have instructions to see how to properly calibrate that particular speed control

    Hello mate. I recently installed the max 6 esc on my xmaxx..but is it normal to push the trigger up to 60% before it responds to drive reverse? Did all the calibrations even all the settings with my program card..rest works flawless....🤷‍♂️

    • @alexperea20
      @alexperea20  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you mean like there's a delay when you go in reverse just letting you know with this speed control in the max 5 speed control you have to be to a complete stop before the speed control will engage reverse so usually there always is a delay in reverse and reverse usually is either 25% or 50% you don't get 100% throttle in reverse with hobbywing speed controls Factory their set at 25% unless you change it with the Wi-Fi module or a tuning card

    Once I installed my hobby wing speed controller I started having that same steering shake issue. Never had it with the original ESC.
    Happens frequently especially when it is off-balance.
    I could really use your help trying to change the programming in it though if you could help. I also noticed by installing those that my reverse speed was cut in half. I also noticed that my punch speed or take off speed had been dialed back also. I was looking through the manual trying to figure out how to adjust all of this but for some reason it is not allowing me to adjust the punch speed nor the reverse
