| Setting Up Dual Fxrs & Qs
Just curious how I set my fxrs up settings wise? Also my xrs reverse jolts maybe cause the escs arent setup? And lastly sometimes only the front or rears spin under load until I squeeze the throttle more than 1/4 in. Thanks |

As for the jolting, it's possible to get the wires mixed up soldering your motors, and you may need to switch some things around. As for setup of the esc's themselves, are you using the buttons or a Hotwire to program them? | |

We need more information... What exactly is you problem? What radio are you using? What motors do you have? Any other specs would be helpful. |

Under load sometimes only 2 wheels spin until I go over 1/4 throttle My reverse is strong but pulses Integy 55t motors RC4WD xr4 radio with a wantAsummit mix unit Last edited by EEM-CrawlinMachine; 03-15-2011 at 09:56 PM. |

Drag Brake: press the mode button once so the 1st LED is lit up, then press the INCR button until the last LED is lit up. This will put you at 100% Drag brake. Reverse Strength: Press the MODE button twice so the 2nd LED is lit up, then press the INCR button until the last LED is lit up. This will put you at 100% Reverse Strength. Current Limit: Leave at default Push Control: Leave at default Reverse Type: Press the MODE button five times so the 5th LED is lit up, then press the INCR button until the 1st AND 2nd LED is lit up. This will put you in immediate forward/reverse mode. Low Voltage Cutoff: Press the MODE button six times so the 6th LED is lit up, then press the INCR button until the 2nd LED is lit up for 2s Li-Po or until the 3rd LED is lit for 3s Li-Po. That's it, you are set up. Do this for each unit. As for the not moving until 1/4 throttle, still sounds like a calibration issue to me. What pinions are you running on your 55t motors? Are both motors timed the same? | |

Yea, recalibrate both esc's. Make sure the mix unit is at neutral when you calibrate. Also, check the timing on your motors, if they were timed anything other than 0 deg. from the factory then you are running one of them in reverse. If they are both 0 then you should be ok or if both are advanced the same amount you will be good. Take the rotation direction into account when checking them, obviously one should go the opposite direction than the other. Can you describe the situation where you are having the problem? How bad of a bind are we talking about, does one axle seem stronger in general, are you climbing when it happens? I have no idea why reverse would be "pulsing"...That doesnt seem ESC related unless its just a calibration issue. Are you running a BEC? Is it wired through the receiver? Does the light on it cut out? Seems more like a radio glitch to me. |

It only does 2 wheels on light loads climbing, my reverse worked fine with only 1 fxr on my scaler How do you time motors? Both motors using 14t pinions Thanks |

Try this, just check it based on the markings on the can and endbell. Caring for your new Brushed motor You can search for "Timing" in electronics for more info if you need it. |

| I agree although it takes some flexibility or someone else to help you at least if you take the on/off switches off.

| You only need to do it at the begining when you plug that battery in so you don't need another set of hands (on the castle stuff only now that I think about it). FXR's I can push both buttons myself without a problem.

One more thing, when calibrating, remember you have to have them wired correctly, or the radio F/R set correct for each channel so it calibrates them both forward when you pull the trigger, and both reverse when you push it. I don't know how many times I have checked peoples setups and after neutral is detected I pulled the trigger and one esc calibrates forward and the other thought I was it reverse and wouldn't calibrate....annoying, but easily solved. Just keep this in mind.

| You are talented if you can push both buttons and plug in the battery at the same time. Took me like 20 minutes to get it haha.
