For all Castle ESCs, follow these steps to calibrate the ESC and radio (do this for ONE ESC at a time):
1) turn on radio and continuously hold full forward throttle
2) plug battery into ESC. You will start to see green lights flash and will hear beeps
3) when the red lights on the ESC start to flash, give full reverse throttle on radio
4) when yellow lights start to flash, let the throttle sit at neutral
5) power down both ESC and radio


BTW, your translator works just fine.

Hello Jeremyh. Thanks a lot

It's not like put it with the remote control to operate both Motors at the same time, and can click on each axis

Ahh...ok. You only have one ESC in the truck? Then you should only have to follow this procedure one time.

Hello
Jeremy, I have two ECS
one I have it connected in THR and the other to the AUX
works only one, I would like to twin the two channels on the remote control so they pull equal. Thank you

cartronicshn thank you also

a greeting

you need independent esc control, or a mixer for both esc to one channel, as for them both pulling equally, that`s another story, current will flow through the path of less resistance, meaning if one of the axles has more load, the one with less load will receive more current (my terms might be off, but that`s the general idea) so if you want equal pull you are going to have to bias power to one axle or the other at any given time.

clod stall as it is called around here, can be aided by, the mentioned methods above, additionally you can try lower count pnion on your front motor, some have tried different turn motors .

You can mix the throttle channel to the aux channel but unfortunately you can not adjust the mix on the fly like you need to be able to to take advantage of the two esc's.

You need a third party mixing unit that will go in the truck and provide each esc with the correct signal.

This is what you need:
wantamix v2.0

Also with dual esc's there is no "follows the path of least resistance" assuming that your battery is up to the task of power both ESC's at max power (it should be or else you bought the wrong battery). They are independent systems wired in parallel and clod stall is caused by one motor having more load on it making it need more power to continue at the same speed. When you have clod stall one motor doesnt slow down and the other one speeds up, one simply slows down.

Thanks for the replies.

only assembling it with an ESC and you put a mini servo with two miniature switches to be able to stop a motor or the other. I want to try it while I get it a mixer can spend a month while heheand the overlkill this out-of-stock. If it does not take long coming

What radio are you using? There is a difference between running a switch and operating a proportional input.
