Thank you. Finally a good video on calibration.
Nice one! My Futaba 3PV seems to have that Ch 2 reverse issue you mentioned. It was much faster in reverse than in forward. I'll recalibrate again and pay attention to the throttle reverse feature. Thank you.
Yup, you almost always need to reverse throttle on Futaba radios.
Another great video 👊!!! Good idea to write the specific calibration steps down for easy field access, too. I live by sticky notes 😵😎💪👊👊
Thank you so much i learned a lot watching this video and enjoy doing business with you as well!
Glad you enjoyed the video Edward, and thank you for your business!
thanks really helped me out
Our pleasure, thank you for watching!
thank you that's sorted my esc right out !!!
Awesome, glad it helped!!
@@RCJuice hi I have a dromida bx4 sometimes it takes off in reverse at high speed even when it's set to the lowest setting and the controller cant stop it in either direction any help thanks
@@aidenfletcher6503, The first thing I would recommend is recalibrating your ESC, sometimes this important step is overlooked. Thanks.
@@RCJuice will try that but now it needs anew servo that's the second to burn out I actually have a feeling when I got it it had been used before thanks for your reply keep uploads coming 👍
G,day mate, you advised me on fixing my rc to go faster in forward. Thanks so much mate 👍 you really help us donkeys out here. I am learning every day, got a Maverick Quantum Flux goes pretty quick and a EAT14 wow that is a little rocket, put grease in the diffs on booth of them, they are back together didn't take long, thanks again for you advice, take care all the best.

It's our pleasure Peter, thank you for the follow-up!
I’ve purchased one today and it’s causing me a lot of grief so far :/
Thanks I am having same problem but plane enjoy even beep.but control surfaces so work.I try your recommendation. Thanks again!
I'm about to receive the hobby star 150 amp sensor or sensorless ESC that I ordered from y'all on eBay , so hopefully you can do a video on that as well
How do you reverse the throttle channel?
Does EPA perform the same as Exponential on the transmitter setting? I'm wondering what is equivalent EPA as I don't have that name nor "Travel" on my Flysky GT3C.
How do you do this on an Arrma Senton mega esc? It’s brushed
I love you guys and have found the hobbystar lipos are some of the best I have tried along with their motors. I discovered them along with the jx servos months ago. One thing, when are you gonna have a running video of your pro mt 4×4 build? I saw your build video but never saw a running video. Want to see how your electronics work as I may get some. I subscribed so put a video ul for me. Thanks! Loyal customer J HO
Hi, Very informative video, in my system actually I am using HV130 and there we dont have any button as such, so how to do the throttle PWM calibration using Remote, like we give forward throttle then turn on the ESC and Motor then wait for 2 beeps and release it to normal mid position, but in this case it calibrate only the forward throttle PWM but the reverse throttle PWM, so can u help me how to calibrate reverse throttle too?
Problem is when a esc only has auto calibration and keeps beeping and you have no reset switch to program it
Question... If I'm swapping my Traxxas UDR electronics with Futaba and going with the 7PXR radio, can I use the pre-existing Traxxas Speed control? or do I need to go with another brand?
You can absolutely use the stock Traxxas ESC with your 7PXR. After replacing the stock receiver with the Futaba, just be sure to recalibrate the ESC and you'll be good to go.
Im trying but I cant !! traxxas Stampede 4x4
Hey buddy do you know why my throttle and steering would be reversed on my flysky transmitter? I just swapped out my tactic radios to my fly sky and for some reason I have to run channel 1 and 2 reversed. The arrma motor wires are hooked up normal. Any ideas? Thanks for any help!
Chris Watson that’s how my flysky’s works too, I think it’s just how they are. Otherwise, I think it is possible to reverse the esc input when programming the esc.
Sir i brought new brushed esc hpi 320a and i intalled it on.my rc truck.here is problem that my esc works only in forwad direction not in reverse as i do reverse feom thr radio transmitter esc blinks red light but does not give output voltage to motor.plz help me to solve this problem
Hi there ! I have an E-Savage and trying to get it going. My old batteries 7.2V nimh 3300mah are still powering the vehicle but end of their life but the new once are not not.Pulling the throttle the twin motors just click click. The new battery packs have a bit higher voltage. Its a Gt 14.4 ESC with double motor 7.2V x 2 Can you please help how to get my truck going again. Regards, Daniel
My goolrc ESC is beeping and my receiver was blinking red but now it’s not it’s just beeping on my esc what do I do and my transmitter will not bind with the receiver
Note that binding a radio to a receiver and calibrating your ESC are 2 separate things. Check your trim settings on your radio, did you move the throttle trim? It must be all the way down before calibrating.
My son has a ECX Ruckus that just had a motor swap done on it yesterday. When I got it home and tested everything, reverse did not work and it was a whole lot faster going forward than I ever seen and on top of that I couldn’t shut it off. I turned off the RC and the truck and the wheels were still spinning at 100% full power. Does what I am asking about sound like the ESC needs to be calibrated? Unplugging the battery was the only way I could get it to shut off. 😳
Yes! Definitely re-calibrate that esc.
@@RCJuice actually it needed a whole new esc installed. I took it to the local hobby shop and they said they never saw a RC do what it was doing so they just installed a new one and it’s working fine again.
Of a helon bought of ebay it stuck possible in race made but no brakes a tuning card is flashing blue
as u talked about going faster in reverse mine is doing this but when i switch the throttle chan to reverse it just takes off without touching the throttle
Now that you have reversed the throttle channel, did you also recalibrate and reset throttle trims?
@@RCJuice yes i forgot to recalibrate its fixed great vid
how do i do settings on esc without the setup button?
Hi I agree as I have one with out the button and all these vids go on about push and hild the button I dont have one ...
I have some how disabled forward and reverse on my grasshopper. Steering works. Green light on blinking snd beeping but when i switch on controller it keeps beeping and no forward and reverse? Please help
What ESC do you have?
When I turn my JLB J3SPEED (Cheetah version 3) on,the 120A ESC has a blinking RED light and I have no power and no steering.PLEASE HELP.....p.s.ive tryed re-calibrateing it,I turn it on whilst holding the "set" button,the motor bleeps then I'm supposed to leave the control in neutral and press "set" again but as soon as I do this the beeping stops and red light flashes again,it's supposed to give me a GREEN light but it doesn't.HELP HELP HELP
reverse not working on rc controller austar ax5s.pls help.
my rc car runs full throtle when i turn off transmitter. help?
I have one servo tester no transmitter...how I can calibration my esc with servo tester....my motor not run...its sound like beeping beeping...please help me
It may not work. I'd try using the center knob position on the servo tester as your neutral point, and then full clockwise as full throttle, and full counterclockwise as your full brake. This will obviously not be correct for later using it with a radio but may get it to calibrate enough to run the motor.
@@RCJuice its work man...I love you , thanks for better suggestions...I calibrate my esc through a servo tester...my motor run...😎😎😎😋😋
@@Raja-hv8gj Awesome!! Glad it worked out and thank you for your follow-up :)
So what about if the moment I let off the set botton the esc turns back off? What causes that to happen?
Perhaps a different procedure on the ESC you are using (different ESC's have some variations to the procedure) or there is a problem with the ESC.
@@RCJuice im using a hobbystar 120a
Is this the same for the hornet with a twin stick?
Can you please provide a link to the specific one you are inquiring about?
RCJuice tamyia hornet re release 1984. Tamyia esc. Carson twin stick
@@user-pq6zh5vz7v Gotcha. It depends on the ESC, as far as the ESC is concerned it still sees the same type of input from the radio. Some very basic ESC's do not have any calibration function to them, but for the most part all ESC"s have a calibration procedure that is somewhat close to the procedure shown in this video for the HobbyStar ESC.
My esc has no set button?? I have tried turning on while holding both full throttle and reverse but still nothing, just a blinking led on the esc.. it's a generic brushless combo from China looks like a Goolrc copy.. any ideas?
G-Dotz
I have the same problem and maybe we have the same esc. Did you found out what is the problem? Mine is also flashes red led.
@@topihitam3510 I ended up buying a new 120a brushless (the blue 1 on ebay) from China and it worked perfect out the box
G-Dotz
Maybe l need a new esc too. Thanks for the reply.
@@topihitam3510 i also have the same problem we need to find a solution
please do it on kyosho kobra, i just canttttttttt
I have a wl969 but most of the time it does not move forward and only moves backwards. If you know the reason, help me. Thank you.
If you have adjustable throttle trim on your radion I would check to make sure it is set to the minimum setting, and possible re-calibrate after doing so.
Hi, I guess on my boat ESC this setting prosedure not working, the ESC is waterproof and has no any button, no matter how I tried, it's just flashing with red light(it's a Joysway Aplha boat)
There should have been a seperate instruction manual for your boats ESC along with your boats instruction manual. You will find your ESC calibration steps there.
@@RCJuice thanks.. Then I have to dig up to find those papers☺️
Hi dont have a reset button how do you do it with out the button . Cheers
What ESC are you working with?
@@RCJuice Hi, I am also having an esc without a button(at least I cannot find it). Namely this combo: www.banggood.com/Surpass-Hobby-Waterproof-F540-V2-Sensorless-Brushless-Motor-with-60A-ESC-for-1-or-10-RC-Vehicles-p-1548050.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=511868&rmmds=search Now this is a really cheap esc so I don't expect much from it, but any calibration wouldn't hurt. I already tried using full throttle or full reverse and then turning on the esc but it just waits for the transmitter to be in the neutral position. I also have this programming card for the esc: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-LED-Program-Card-For-Racerstar-Surpass-Rocket-ESC-p-1057127.html?cur_warehouse=CN&rmmds=search But then the esc is plugged into that and not in the receiver so I doubt that it can be used for any calibration. Do you have any idea how to calibrate it? Thanks in advance. The user manual of the esc also does not mention any calibration procedures.
@@peter10101 Those ESC's actually do not have a calibration function, it's a "weak link" in that you may never get full power from those ESC's, they work fine but they are just a very basic unit.
@@RCJuice Thanks for the info! Like I said, I never expected much for the price, just wanted to revive an old truck I had laying around that was brushed and didn't want to spend too much initially. Power as is seems pretty good, I'd have to run a speed test tho to see how close it gets to the theoretical max. Only thing I can notice rn is that the braking seems a bit weak, turned it to 75% now and still feels a bit weak, gonna try 100% next. Might just be another weak point of the esc tho.
@@peter10101 Our pleasure!! That is correct, you will typically see weaker brake action on more budget ESC's. They are fine for a lot of applications though, just depends on what you need.
What if that ESC won't turn on its new never used
I’ve got a dr10 that for some reason I can’t make it do anything
You mean the motor will not run? Does the steering servo work? If the steering servo does not work either then it's likely not a calibration issue as a steering servo will still work if an ESC is not calibrated or arming.
Noob here asking. Why do you call it full brake and not full reverse position?
It's the same thing, here we refer it as full-brake because if you go from full-throttle straight to the other end of the trigger travel as you do during calibration without a pause, brake will be engaged. Reverse takes a pause in neutral to engage.
my esc doesnt come with set button.. what can i do?
Check the instructions for your ESC. If there is no set button, they will usually have you do something like holding the throttle wide open on the radio as you are turning on the ESC to get it into calibration mode. That may not be the exact scenario for your ESC, but that is common when there is not a set button.
@@RCJuice okay i'll try
@@RCJuice Also my when i adjust the speed trim it runs by itself.. can you help me with this please?
@@emkaykim5192 Make sure you turn your trim all the way down before calibrating, once it's calibrated then yes, it would cause the vehicle to go if you turn it up. If you leave it turned up and then turn off the ESC, it will not arm when you power it back up until the ESC sees that reduced all the way back down again. This is a safety to ensure that the vehicle does not take off when you first power it up.
@@RCJuice Okay thanks you're great! Subbed!
Everytime I run my car I have to calibrate my esc is this normal?
No, but are you making any changes to any radio settings (trim)?
@@RCJuice no ever time I run plug battery up esc Nothing only steering then I calibrate then the throttle works I believe I have a faulty esc hobbywing sc8.
@@nts323 That sounds like it could indeed be a faulty ESC. What radio are you running with it?
@@RCJuice austar hobby 2.4 transmitter
@@nts323 Are you making sure to turn the radio on first, and then the car?
I did that and its faster in reverse
Reverse your throttle channel on your radio and calibrate again, this is most commonly required on Futaba and Flysky radios but happens with others as well.
@@RCJuice ok thanks
