4PK Setups, Tips, Tricks and Help

[whoodie]

Ok. I've a few comps with the 4pk. Im sold on it but I have a slight issue with my rig now. On a downslope when I barely give it throttle, it will at times feel as though it loses any resistance. Kinda like going into a slight free wheel. So I tested this while holding the rig. I'll give it the slight bit of throttle and push the rig on flat ground. It's as if there is no torque when power is applied. Im going to check the ESC's settings again but I've been playing with the 4pk and can't seem to get rid of it. Help Obe One!!!

What ESC?

Thanks Woodie. I'm runnin' 2Tekin FXR's w/HH 45T's.
Rig ran flawlessly prior to switching from my Nomadio RX to the 4PK RX.

Thats odd, yeah I would double check the settings in the FXR's, just set the drag bake to 100% for now and see what it does. I certainly don't have that issue and I'm running the 4PK with dual FXR's.

Try bumping up the throttle deadband on the ESC's.

I am using the 4pk and am experiencing glitching with my steering servo. It seems to glitch only when i turn full to the right and not to the left. I have a 3cell lipo mounted fairly close to the receiver, ido not no if that is the issue? Any thoughts, thanks!

What is the servo? I doubt the problem is the radio itself most likely the setup. Try changing the mode to Normal as opposed to high speed. This can be done in the RXSYS menu.

I do have my controller set to normal. The servo is a cirrus from ckrc and i have only ran it twice.

Have you tried high speed then?

 

[Jay2380]

no not yet I will give that a try and get back if I have issues.

Thanks

Just tryed highspeed and it seemed worse, so I set it backto norm. When i turn and hold you can hear the servo gears twitching. Sometimes when i let off to go to neutral it seems like it is constatly searching for neutral. Is there something I am not setting right. And it twitches worse with a 3cell vs 2cell lipo. Thanks

Thanx Alot "thumbsup" this thread has helped me out sooooo much. I just got a 4pk today and Wow. Keep up the great work and info"thumbsup"
Thanx again Rob

Thanks a lot for the info shared in this thread. I finally got my upgrade from 3PK to 4PK today. I have a LCC MOA with Tekin RS 17.5T BL setup and my rear dig on the 3PK was limited to steering mix. I followed the dual ESC for 4PK setting mentioned in the 1st page and did the upgrade easily. I used the reverse motor function of the RS SW version 203 for the rear ESC to display the front and rear mix in the same direction. "thumbsup"

Try lowering the endpoint in that direction. Sometimes if there is a lil bit of a bind at full lock it will twitch."thumbsup"

I have a 4pk that i run dual sidewinders with. The guys at castle have walked me through the setup with the latest firmware and my drag brakes still wont hold on an incline. I have just recently changed from a single rooster with punk dig and the brake was great. Nothing else changed but the sidewinders and my set up to run dual esc. My question is could I have some adjustment problems not letting the brake go full affect or is it just the sidewinder.

Double check that your throttle position on both ESC's are reprogrammed to the radio at the SAME time. Other than that it is just the sidewinders/motors.

You have to unplug one controller from the RX when programming the other's throttle points too. Sometimes they can cross talk and screw things up.

Hmm, I've never had that happen before. I guess it's not out of the realm of possibility though.
