Great tutorial. Thanks.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you found the tutorial helpful.
Kindly, when I used the launch, it seems that the car was also using the traction settings because it had a lot of delay on launch!
Next time, I will inhibit the traction to verify.
Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate you pointing out the delay during the launch. I will look into it this week to see how the car behaves and make any necessary adjustments for optimal performance.
Hello,
I’ve been occupied with work and finalizing my No Prep RC Drag Car build, aiming for the 2.2-second mark on the 132-foot track. As a result, I haven’t had a chance to program and test the Spektrum DX5 Pro Launch Control yet. I was wondering if you’ve had any success with it? I plan to build another RC Drag Car to test the radio and its launch control features by the end of August 2024.
Thanks for your help!
@@AnthonysRCWorldHi yes I tried it and got use to it because in different conditions, it gives you an advantage when the road surface is not so good, meanwhile I used the ABS and it failed several times so be careful if you use it. I informed them abour the ABS but I am still waiting for a reply.
@@AnthonysRCWorldHello
Yesterday I tried to use it on a speed run and gave five seconds delay and adjusted the throttle travel to 150% to give it a smooth run but it was still a bit aggressive.
Next time I will try to combine it with the exponential or traction control to try and get a smoother run until it reach full throttle!
@@josephcaruana9165 Hi,
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s good to know that the launch control can be beneficial in varying conditions. I appreciate the heads-up about the ABS issues-I'll definitely be cautious with it. I hope you hear back soon regarding your feedback.
Thanks again for your insights!
Best,
