Advice needed on setting up my new radio gear with a new motor and esc


MAZ

Recommended Posts

Hello all 🙂

Just a bit of advice needed please..

 

I’ve (finally) nearly finished my Hyper ST build and I’m wanting to try out the new radio gear and esc/motor combo I’ve got.

The radio gear is a Spektrum DX5 Rugged and the esc/motor combo is a Hobbywing Ezrun Max8 with the Hobbywing 4278 motor

 

Thing is, I really need some help and advice when it comes to using both the radio gear and esc combo. It’s been absolutely years since doing anything like this and I really don’t want to mess it all up before I’ve had a chance to use it. I’ve also never used any Spektrum stuff before.
 

Neither the radio gear or esc are plug & play are they?
I’ve had a brief look at the esc set up and I think I need to calibrate it first but I also think I need to calibrate the transmitter too.

Is that correct?

If I need to calibrate them both does it matter which one I do first?

 

@Stormbringer I think in my build thread you said you had the same radio gear setup? 
Was it easy to Calibrate or did you even need to do that?
 

Feeling a bit frazzled by technology so any help from you guys out there would be really appreciated 

 

Many thanks

when you calibrate the esc to neutral. full forward and full reverse it calibrates the esc to the throttle movement on the tx ( you shouldnt need to adjust endpoints on tx )

to program other stuff on it i used a program card
