Great tutorial. It's so much easier for me to see how something is done rather than read and comprehend. You did a good job going slow and letting your audience absorb the information.
@@filmorebrowning7251 Yes you should be able to calibrate this with any receiver. If you struggle to get the ESC calibrated try to reverse the throttle channel in the radio.
@@Hobby365 tried that still just getting power to steering but no motor power to the motor I even used another receiver I had laying around and getting the same reaction
I get the esc blinking red in set up. I hit it once for throttle neutral and blink goes away and never flashes green and nothing happens. What's going on??
I feel like I did the same thing by opening up the receiver box and holding down the Spektrum symbol button. Did I accomplish the same thing and did they put the set button up top so you don't have to open up the receiver box? thanks!

Hallo Ich habe das Problem das Ich über das Vorwärts nicht weiter komme. Neutral Speichert Gas Speichert Rückwärts speichert er nicht ab woran kann das liegen?
OK, one thing I noticed every video I have watched. Everyone has 160 amp ESC in their vehicle it is not the factory one that came in the vehicle in the first place so wouldn’t the parameters be different on the original ESC? Also, I bought a Spektrum esc smart program card will discard work in the original stock ESC? I swear every video everybody has to 160 amp ESC.
Awesome video and explanation. New to the hobby and wondering if you would recommend setting the Brake Strength to 100% on a Arrma Vendetta? Is there a theory you go buy - such as fast cars 100% Brake Strength and slower vehicles going less - or do you usually use 100%? Also, what punch strength to you use and which one would you recommend for beginners? Thank you, 🙂
HEY thankyou man! I couldnt figure out how to calibrate my spectrum stx3. The instructions are muddy at best and youtube didnt have any specific videos for it. So i knew Arrma had same brand. Found your video, tried it and it worked! BIIIG THANKYOU!
Hello My polarity is wrong and my only way to resolve it was to switch the wires on the motor, but obviously the colours are wrong (i like it correct) Can this be changed? Many thanks
Hey Hobby 365, I have the Granite Mega 3s and I replaced the ESC, bind it to the car. I have steering but know throttle, reverse. Every video that talks about calobrating the SLT3 talks about a set button onthe ESC. My ESC doesn't have a set button. Just the on/off switch. Please help!
@@Hobby365 thanks for your reply. I dif some more troubleshooting and discovered that when I plugged the throttle plug into the servo I get power when I turn the steering wheel on the remote. So either the receiver is bad or the remote is bad. I have a new receiver on back order.
@@Hobby365 No steering when I plugged the servo into the throttle, when I pull or push up on the trigger. So I'm hoping it's the receiver that is the issue since that's the part I'm waiting to have delivered.
@@Bossman41000 I don't know what radio system you have, but a radio reset might help. Try this one:ua-cam.com/video/balQ_Tdd2lQ/v-deo.html The process works for the DX3 and the SLT. If you have a AVC receiver this video will help you recalibrate the receiver and you might need this when the new one comes in.: ua-cam.com/video/IKUy_61itO0/v-deo.html
There are so many reasons that can cause your issue. Bad components, improper gearing, things bound up in the car, improper selection of components...the list goes on and on.
I would have thought RC ESCs would be more advanced than Esk8 ESCs. I connect my board to an app through Bluetooth and can modify a couple hundred settings
That could literally be anything. The ESC could be plugged in the wrong port or plugging it in backward, Could be low or bad batteries, could be the calibration of the esc, radio or avc. Could be the receiver isn't bound to the transmitter, could be a bad servo causing a brown out in the receiver. Could be bad esc. ETC ETC ETC.
Thanks for the video very informative and easy to do follow… I’m having a problem with my transmitter,,, I hope you can help me,,, I have an arrma senton, I replaced the spektrum radio with a dumbo Rc radio,,, works well but at times I’ll press full throttle and will not respond,, I press again and it goes, not sure what the problem could be,thanks
Hi there, I am working under the assumption that did calibrate the throttle range for the new radio. So the only things I can think of would be an issue in voltage drop on the receiver when you pull the throttle. This is pretty easy to solve with a low voltage protector such as this one www.hobbytown.com/spektrum-rc-voltage-protector-spm1600/p6570 The other thing would be something bad in the transmitter or receiver if the system was working properly with the other radio.
This may sound like a stupid question, but I’m new to the hobby. I picked up the Arrma fireteam as it fit the needs I was looking for, and the sound of those gears clicking together at startup concerned me. When rolling the car by pushing it the gears sound like that but a little worse while rotating. I can’t find any videos of what the diffs sound like while just being rolled by hand and not under power so I’m hoping it’s a normal sound. Any thoughts?
Those sounds are normal. The sound of metal gears running on each other are noisy anyway. When you roll the model you will find that the magnets in the motor are aligning as it turns. That will also produce alot of gear noise. No need to be worried I think everything is good.
@@Hobby365 thanks, that helps a lot and puts my mind at ease. Turning the center diff by hand makes a sound like teeth skipping and that’s what worried me, but watching it rotate I can see all the teeth engage. I think it was just the sound that threw me.
When I go to program it I go to set the neutral position and it just does not beep and does not let me set the full throttle and reverse. So I don’t know what to do can u help?
Hi there. The process is the same with all radios. Just make sure that if your radio has endpoint adjustments that you adjust the setting to its maximum setting.
Could be a couple issues first did you double check the esc is plugged into the receiver correctly. it is pretty easy to plug them in back ward. The other is to make sure your batteries are fully charged. Hope that helps
Not sure y I'm having such a hard time but I can't get my esc to calibrate I have the arrma talion 6s exb I binded the transmitter then tried calibrating but its not working I have steering but no throttle
You can try a few things. Your controller may have a expo, end point or Throttle limit switch. The expo setting should be at zero, your end points and throttle limit switches should be all the way up. Also make sure your Throttle trim is centered. Hope this helps.
I have seen radios be bad and it doesn't loose calibration as much as the ESC sees the throttle input when it is powered up putting it into failsafe mode. Try recalibrating then moving the throttle left to right (not forward and back ward to apply the throttle) and see if the throttle responds you have a bad radio. Magnets can cause the ESC to loose its calibration. So keep it away from big speakers. Also if you have AVC. Make sure to let the car rest after you power it on so that the AVC can set up. If you are moving it around it will not set up. What I like to do is turn your steering to one side before you power it up. When the steering goes centered the AVC is ready to go and the ESC will arm.
Hey my car goes forward for revers and reverse fir forward. But the thing is I know for a fact I did neutral then forward then backward for the calibration. Idk what’s wrong
That's probably One of two things. If you have brakes in reverse but not forward. Check your wiring and make sure your motor and esc are plugged in A to A, B to B and C to C. If that doesn't do it try flipping your servo reverse switch and recalibrate.

Bonjour est ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider mon infraction 6s , en effet quand j'allume la RC je n'ai que la direction pas de gaz et n'arrive pas à retrouver la manipulation correct a effectuer sur la RC et la télécommande merci d'avance
There isn't so much as a "Factory Reset" that I am aware of, but more of a recalibration. You can reset all the values to default as a one by one adjustment or in bulk with the spektrum programming card. I have a video that goes into more details on the card: ua-cam.com/video/IaJyGhKNr98/v-deo.html
I just bought the firma 150 amp esc. I am trying to follow your directrions, The esc does not do anything after I hit the set button to set neutral, I complete the steps you give and nothing happens. Does not complete. My spektrum rx is bound and servo fuctions. I have tried this many times. What do you think.? I even thought the esc was bad and got a replacement. I am a novice to surface equipment but have flown quads and planes. I dont get what is different. On the picture above, it looks like you have the esc jumper system going to the rx. That is the way I have it. I have change wires . What is the orange and black wire that comes out with the start and setup buttons. ? Am I supposed to use it to the rx?
What your experiencing may be a symptom of improper controller set up. Make sure your throttle trim on your controller is centered (or zero). Make sure the endpoints are set to maximum. If your radio is a computer radio It may be best to do a factory default reset on the model you are using or start a new model completely since you are still new with it. If this is a Spektrum AVC receiver make sure you calibrate the AVC after you bind the radio. Watch this video for the calibration instructions ua-cam.com/video/IKUy_61itO0/v-deo.html I think what you are seeing as a jumper system is either the fans plugging into the ESC or the wires going to the capacitor. The multiple wires on the power/setup switch just there for switching functions. There is really no need to worry about their functions. The esc is only plugged into the number "th" or number 2 slot in the RX.
@@Hobby365 As an update, controller setting are all centered as a new unit. Avc calibrated and working. I am using a servo wire splitter going from the esc to the fan plug and to the rx in the throt slot. Wires are all in correct directions, rx black to outside and white to inside towards lettering. Esc black to the outside as marked. I can turn on power to esc starts off solid red to flashing green to flashing red. When I power up the esc holding down the setup button flashes red, when I hold down the push the setup key it to start config the red lite goes out and does not come back on.
So long at it is a standard hobby grade contoller with a compatible reciver, all you need to do is calibrate the ESC to your radio and you are off to the races.
Your video is very helpful but I have to say this way of programming really suck! Just got a kraton 6s a few days ago and I am already having thoughts of getting rid of the spektrum setup very expensive batteries now this silly way of programming…..
THIS IS THE “ONLY ” VIDEO THAT I’VE FOUND THAT TALKS ABOUT MOTOR TIMING (BUT)... I have yet to find ANYONE driving and demonstrating on different timing degrees.. if we can go up on the pinion for speed runs, why can’t we just go up in timing? Why is nobody playing with timing???
Timing is an art that most people never take the time to fully understand and confidently give advise about. I fall in that category as well. Messing up the timing has consequences in failed motors, failed ESC's and puffy batteries. That is why you are struggling to find advise on how to tune timing.
If you buy a JUST the Spektrum Firma 150 ESC separately by itself, the manual that comes with it is wildly wrong. The correct one is the Arrma manual for the car the ESC comes in. The Horizon manual is wildly inaccurate
That is one of the very reasons I do these videos and it's not just horizon. Traxxas and Kyosho have hidden calibration menus in their radio systems. No where is that even listed in the instructions.
@@Hobby365 Traxxas absolutely has the instructions in their manual how to configure their remotes. No one ever reads the manual. Idk about kyosho though.
@@yana2008100 I have not see an adjustment for the LVC in any of the programing options. Even manual programing doesn't even have the option to turn it off.
Well it doesn't work for the 4000kv 3s combo. But it did do a little bit different than just turn it on so I'm going to go find a different video thanks for trying
@@Hobby365 no don't do that I looked up a video from Spektrum and they did the same thing you did and it didn't work for mine I think my receiver is broken this would work great if everything was working properly thanks
@@saxgaming4441 I don't know what receiver you have but if you do have an AVC receiver you might try re calibrating the AVC. Try this video for those instructions: ua-cam.com/video/IKUy_61itO0/v-deo.html

And don't have the money to buy anything new. Also lost my receipt from the shop.
@@alum1n1umkn1ght3 I have some videos on resetting and binding transmitters as well, maybe that will be a help to you with that. Also reach out to your local hobbyshop. Many of them may be able to help you not only with your receipt but also with expertise on the processes that may help solve your issues. Trust me when I say they will be impressed that you have made the effort to educate yourself and need just a little help.
@@Hobby365 So, took it to the shop and they got me a new receiver which worked for their transmitter but I got home and it is acting the same way with my transmitter. So I think I just have a bad transmitter. It isn't accurate and doesn't know where the neutral positions are.
The programing card does make things much easier. But not everyone has one when they need it. I will get a video in progress for the programing card if you would like to see one.

I am using a servo wire splitter going from the esc to the fan plug and to the rx in the throt slot. Wires are all in correct directions, rx black to outside and white to inside towards lettering. Esc black to the outside as marked. I can turn on power to esc starts off solid red to flashing green to flashing red. When I power up the esc holding down the setup button flashes red, when I hold down the push the setup key it to start config the red lite goes out and does not come back on.
Successful bind,config,programming, Thanks for your help. stay safe
@@budnanc509 So glad to help
@@budnanc509 how did you get it
To calibrate? I’m having same issue. I can’t calibrate so have steering only no throttle
Does this work with any receiver and controller
So long at it is a standard hobby grade contoller with a compatible reciver, all you need to do is calibrate the ESC to your radio and you are off to the races.
Will this work if it's a 3s and on a traxxas
Programing this ESC on any motor is the same process.
Just naught one and put it in and it’s blinking red after I turn it on and it’s not working or connecting to my controller
Make sure you have the plug in the right port and in the right orientation.
wow. my esc doesnt go into that mode at all. no blinking and no beeping noise
I change puch setting( item 7) from 4 to 9 level.it feel the same! Do I have to change other item as well?
You shouldn't have to change any other setting.
Thank you so much!!!
You are so welcome!
Any parts for these?
Not much in the way of parts for the esc. You can replace the connectors and the fans. That is really about it.
Perfect!
I am so happy it helped you.
No voltage cutoff.
Your video is very helpful but I have to say this way of programming really suck! Just got a kraton 6s a few days ago and I am already having thoughts of getting rid of the spektrum setup very expensive batteries now this silly way of programming…..
i cant even get my receiver and transmitter to go into cabration mode either
How do I decrease the punch setting
that is holding the button down for 5minute. doesnt go into that mode
THIS IS THE “ONLY ” VIDEO THAT I’VE FOUND THAT TALKS ABOUT MOTOR TIMING (BUT)... I have yet to find ANYONE driving and demonstrating on different timing degrees.. if we can go up on the pinion for speed runs, why can’t we just go up in timing? Why is nobody playing with timing???
Timing is an art that most people never take the time to fully understand and confidently give advise about. I fall in that category as well. Messing up the timing has consequences in failed motors, failed ESC's and puffy batteries. That is why you are struggling to find advise on how to tune timing.
I need brake asap lol
If you buy a JUST the Spektrum Firma 150 ESC separately by itself, the manual that comes with it is wildly wrong. The correct one is the Arrma manual for the car the ESC comes in. The Horizon manual is wildly inaccurate
That is one of the very reasons I do these videos and it's not just horizon. Traxxas and Kyosho have hidden calibration menus in their radio systems. No where is that even listed in the instructions.
@@Hobby365 Traxxas absolutely has the instructions in their manual how to configure their remotes. No one ever reads the manual. Idk about kyosho though.
Can u adjust the lvc on the 150a esc? with my programmer box from spektrum it does not have lvc option. manual says it should.
@@yana2008100 I have not see an adjustment for the LVC in any of the programing options. Even manual programing doesn't even have the option to turn it off.
@@yana2008100 No. The manual is wrong. The correct manual for this 150a ESC is found in the Arrma Felony manual
Well it doesn't work for the 4000kv 3s combo. But it did do a little bit different than just turn it on so I'm going to go find a different video thanks for trying
I'm sorry this video wasn't able to help you with your esc. I will see if I can get a video specific to your needs.
@@Hobby365 no don't do that I looked up a video from Spektrum and they did the same thing you did and it didn't work for mine I think my receiver is broken this would work great if everything was working properly thanks
@@saxgaming4441 I don't know what receiver you have but if you do have an AVC receiver you might try re calibrating the AVC. Try this video for those instructions: ua-cam.com/video/IKUy_61itO0/v-deo.html
@@Hobby365 it is a traxxas I think it is broken
I did your calibration, and now my fucking esc won't shut up
What specifically is it doing?
@@Hobby365 so I think it was beeping because my battery was dead, fixed that issue but decided to reset my transmitter and now the binding isn't working, after I've done everything.😂 it's sad bro because I haven't even been able to use it in the warm days. And don't have the money to buy anything new. Also lost my receipt from the shop.
@@alum1n1umkn1ght3 I have some videos on resetting and binding transmitters as well, maybe that will be a help to you with that. Also reach out to your local hobbyshop. Many of them may be able to help you not only with your receipt but also with expertise on the processes that may help solve your issues. Trust me when I say they will be impressed that you have made the effort to educate yourself and need just a little help.
@@Hobby365 thanks brother!
@@Hobby365 So, took it to the shop and they got me a new receiver which worked for their transmitter but I got home and it is acting the same way with my transmitter. So I think I just have a bad transmitter. It isn't accurate and doesn't know where the neutral positions are.
It’s backwards
What is backwards?
Thanks for this the manual made zero sense 👍
So glad it helped you out.
Firma esc trash.👎👎
You're assuming people's ESC all misbehave the same. It absolutely does not respond to the instructed programming
liked and subbed+bell smashed
No program card?
The programing card does make things much easier. But not everyone has one when they need it. I will get a video in progress for the programing card if you would like to see one.
@@Hobby365
that would be great bro.
Many thanks.
