This video shows how to program a YEP 60amp ESC, but more specifically how to program it for a GliderDrive 840Kv motor for use in a Radian XL 2.6m sailplane.
Thanks for that, I just put in a YEP120 HV FOR MY HELI WAS VERY SCARY AFTER READING THE NONE SUPPLIED INSTRUCTION SHEET.AFTER 2 DAYS OF PULLING MY HAIR OUT I ALMOST SENT IT BACK,THEN BY PURE ACCIDENT I PUSHED THE THROTTLE PAST HALF STICK THE ESC DISPLAYED A RED LIGHT. I ADVANCED THE THROTTLE VERY VERY SLOWLY SOME MORE AND BAM THE MOTOR STARTED, WELL BEING ALL CONFUSED,AND FRUSTRATED I REPEATED THIS AND IT WORKED AGAIN. WELL SOME HOW I PLAYED WITH THE THROTTLE CURVE AND BOOM COULD MAKE IT TURN AT LOW THROTTLE,BUT MY THROTTLE GRAPH SHOWS ME STARING AT 75% IN A LINEAR LINE. BUT IT WORKS THANK GOD. BUT U EXPLAINING THE PROGRAMING CARD,U SAID IT LOOKS LIKE IT SET UP FOR HELI MIDDLE WITH NOW MAKES SENCE, I GUESS I COULD NOW GO IN WITH YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND CHANGE IT TO LOW WHERE I WANT IT BUT IM SO WORRIED ILL MESS IT UP ANYWAY THANK U SO MUCH
It’s been a while since I’ve messed with this but I think the programming board communicates to the ESC via the RX. So I think you need the RX. As I said it’s been quite a while since I’ve messed with this so that could be wrong.
It was a 14x8 and almost overkill. Had plenty of power. I bought a 14x7 for hot days because the motor would get pretty hot on hot days but never failed or anything. I made some vids about the upgrades in this playlist.. Near the middle and towards end. 👍 th-cam.com/video/SZWqhxH-tp4/w-d-xo.html

Sweet! Glad I made the vid. Honestly if I wanted to program that ESC again, I'd have to review this video myself! LOL
Is it possible to only program the ESC, without connecting the receiver? In my case I am not using a receiver, it is the reason why I am asking.

Out of curiosity, what size prop were you swinging on your radian xl with this setup, and did you find it powerful enough?
