TWo esc set up help !

[yoohou]

I there ! new here... but a lot of passion for crawlers !!!!

Just ordered a new ''stick-frame kit''... with a futaba-stick (7ch) controller (I want to get 4 wheels total control) and 2 novak rooster kit (with 55T motors)... all of it will be connected to 2 sets of 7 cells ea. / my question is : is there a special procedure to connect the 2 esc in the receiver ? any wiring diagram available ?

thanks !!

duel ESC questions

[yoohou]

thanks mud..! I keep that diagram ! but tell me... it's my first time in ''electric'' r/c (still have 4 nitros...) and crawler as well... I think the receiver connection is reversed when it commes to the ''batt'' connector ..right ?

[mudboger07]

explain alittle more i dont under stand what your asking?

[yoohou]

I'm gonna get...: 2 motors with 2 esc...2 servos, one receiver with 7ch control (futaba)... so, what I want is to control each motor and each servos all indepent... and together as well (with mixing control-switching)... then, what I want to know is how to connect the esc with the receiver... heard that there is a ''revcersed'' wiring to do... or something to not connect... so that is the help point...

thanks !

Its not hard to do, im using a dx6 and have the following

front steering on alerion channel
front throttle on elev channel
rear steering on rudder channel
rear throttle on throttle channel, i also mixed the al and rudder channel to work together if i like and both throttles also. there are a few threads on here to show how to wire the motors up just type in dual motor dual esc wiring in search..... its easer to look at that than try to explain....lol

THANKS MUD !!!

[yoohou]

DOH...! FORGOT TO ASK THIS...

DO YOU USE 4 OR 6 CHANNELS ?

[mudboger07]

i use 4 of he channels, thats al you will need. good luck

not in this order but you get the idea

Channel 1 front steer
channel 2 rear steer
channel 3 front throttle
channel 4 rear throttle

Mud... well ...Ken... tell me , I cannot find any treads on ''dual motor dual esc wiring'' ... can you show me a link ? and, one last question (I hope ! ) I got the hot bodies shocks (tmaxx spec) for my tcs stick... and they feel too hard I think... I really need them to be ''soft'' !! but, I must say there is no oil inside yet... will it help them in being softer ? (never played with little shocks before...) or should I look for softer springs ? what do you use on your stick ?

thanks !!!!!

[mudboger07]

heres something on dual esc wiring, the shocks imnot sure of, you might try to search alittle more for that.....

moped v16r esc's

Yes put oil in your shock and they will be softer ( they will tend to bind up or stick if you don't)

[yoohou]

yeah ! just did it..! and they are much better ! also, found that RCc10b4 (Team Associated) rear black springs are very soft and they fit my Hot boddies shocks ! and with ''light'' oil... all perfect for my stick I think !! thanks guys !!

I just got done putting a rooster onto my GMade, I left the original up front, installed the New Novak onto the rear motor, wired it into channel 7 of the Futaba, advanced menu, slave throttle to 7, 100% on both percents, and routed it into switch A.

Now, with a click of a switch, shutting off rear, it drags, also I can trim and speed up rear, or slow it down while crawling. You;ll love it.

The original front is a little faster than the rear, but generally this helps while crawling. Good luck, FUtaba does have manuals you can download to slave over controls..

thank you ''Justsayno''! will check for the Futaba manuels. Today I will start the electronic install for my rig... but now, was wondering how to connect the 2 esc to the receiver ... I think I will have to remove one wire out of there ( esc wire ) so It does not send twice the needed power to the receiver...right ? (got the Rooster kit from Novak with 55 turns... gues it's one red wire I'll have to disconnect...) and , is there a better channel then any other I should use for the 2 esc ?? thanks !
