Use plenty of thread lock on the grub screw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamba86 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 I will be setting up electrics shortly. The HW Max8 ESC and motor combo comes with a program card. I understand the principle of how it works, my issue relates to how you connect it. Instructions with card say that if the ESC has a BEC (which it does) I simply disconnect ESC wire from receiver and plug the wire into the card. However, all videos I see of people using a card plug the card via its own wire to the fan port. Please can someone enlighten me. Sorry for all the inane queries.

lorrylemming Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The programming card goes in the fan port. Remember to have the wheels removed just incase it tries to take off, it shouldn't but best be safe. Older hobbywing ESCs used the receiver plug to program.

Mamba86 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 OK thanks. Confusing when I have two contradictory instructions. I will go with fan port then. Check pics of the two instructions to see why it was frying my brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mamba86 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2021 I am now pretty much done. Just awaiting transmitter. The paint job is pretty bad and I should have got a professional to do it. I was rubbish at cutting the body out. However, despite all this I am pleased with end result. Thanks for advice people. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamba86 Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 Took it out for a first trial run in the road whilst it was dry. It absolutely flew. I did not have time to fine tune or mess with esc proper as it was a small window in a hectic day. I am pleased I know it all pretty much works. Will dial it in over next few weeks. Running the 15T Tekno pinion. Very impressed with the FlySky GT5. For the money you seem to get a fair bit of tech. Happy Christmas folks.
