Rc211v Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hi Guys Having a few issues calibrating my new Hobbywing 1080 ESC. It's on a TRX-4 sport kit that I'm halfway through building and i got the ESC from modelsport last week with a traxxas plug and motor bullets soldered on. I also got a 4ch Traxxas TQI radio and receiver off ebay which arrived today and thought I'd plug everything in and get it calibrated now before I try and finish the build tomorrow night but I just can't get it to calibrate the throttle positions! I hold the power and set buttons together until it starts to beep and then press the set button once to confirm the neutral position which it does, I get one beep and one flash of the light but I can't get it any further than that. Everytime I try and set the forward position I don't get a beep or a flash. The steering is working so I'm really hoping it's not the ebay TX/RX that's the problem. Also, I'm not sure how much life was left in the battery I plugged in to calibrate it. Anybody else struggled to calibrate these before or have any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimplops Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Reverse the channel, flysky does the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimplops Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 You can do it on the transmitter, or just go reverse then forward, but make sure you use 100% throttle settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc211v Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 That doesn’t work either. ive got steering but I just can’t get that second beep for the throttle position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc211v Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 This is sorted now. the receiver I have has 2 ch1’s and I had the Esc and servo plugged in them both.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Glad to hear you are sorted mate. I actually thought it was full forward throttle first, full reverse, then neutral... But not messed with any of my 1080s for a while tbh!.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next you need to reverse it on the radio and adjust rev/forward speed with program card .It's very strange anyway that they made it this way.
