Great job of showing the manual way of reprogramming brushless ESC's Michael... i have had to do that myself before i ended up buying a programming card. look forward to those unboxings of the drones too 👍🇦🇺🍻
Thanks a lot Dave. Hopefully this vid helps folks out there who haven't got a programming card or those who are waiting for one but need to do an ad-hoc change in the the meantime. 😃 Oh yeah, as per your words.. I got some "drone mail" LOL! Yeah I'm really excited about opening up these boxes. I swear.. I am so tempted to go out this week and go for a fly, haha! Well I best not now that I've typed this and in case the cops are spying on all Victorian residents' online activity hahaha, a bit much! Hey thanks for for watching bro. Have a great week ahead! 👋🍻🦘
What a great explanation. Thank. You so much. Really clear, really good visual (and audio) examples and a world away from my Chinese /German god knows what translated manual. Life saver
Micko, upon further investigation I found that nowhere on my ESC is there a program button. Ya get what ya pay for so yeah I got burned. My program card is junk and so is the ESC. Live and learn. 🤔 Thanks anyway for a great teaching.
Amazing,your Tsky ESC still work to day?? ha ha! Thank you very much for the programming instruction! All these ESCs based on Hobbywing ESCs ,the secret which esc work with which Hobby Wing programming card ha ha.
Turning here because I have a very similar setup WRT the ESC. Mine shutters before it takes off. Alamo at like it hesitates. Reverse sometimes never works and if it comes encounters a small obstacle, it hesitates to move. Very frustrating.
First try re-calibrating your radio endpoints. (example for a DumboRC X6 radio: ua-cam.com/video/WShhq0fTbio/v-deo.html) Then calibrate your the throttle limits on the ESC (example for a Hobbywing Brushless ESC: ua-cam.com/video/MiKeYJnYjxU/v-deo.html) Look for tutorials for the radio and ESC you have. I hope this helps!
So what if you have no button on your programmable esc, you have two program cards that have decided to die on you for some reason and you have parameters that you need to change? EDIT: I read through the comments and found the answer. DONT BUY CHEAP JUNK. Thanks.
Hello Micko RC, watched your tutorial and it's very informative. I have a question for you. Do I need to have my ESC plugged into the receiver while trying to program the ESC? Thanks in advance. Edward
Hi Edward. Great question. I actually don't know as I've always had a receiver connected. My inkling is it's NOT necessary. But I'll have to test this out next time to confirm. Thanks for your kind words and support. Have a nice day!
Bought the same 120 a esc and no programming sheet came with it.i got it programmed with your video thanks!!! How can I get the sheet with all the info for the different settings? See
Thanks for your kind words. In the video I was using a manual I downloaded at p11.secure.hostingprod.com/@hobbypartz.com/ssl/ibuyrc/manual/07E-C-XERUN.pdf I hope it helps.
This looks like the same method as my Max6... I can't get my HW Xerun to enter programming mode. Would you have any idea how I can do this please ? Just want to enable reverse
Hi! I understand that all xeruns have the same procedure to go into programming mode as the ones I demonstrated in this video -- Hold down program button while switching on the ESC. If that doesn't work for you then I don't know what else to try, sorry. Good luck bro
@@MickoRC notndriving it, second hand bought, with garbage 3620 motor and 60A esc, barely reaching over 60km/h, the huge downside for this rc is, that nearly. all screws are Phillips screws, not hexes, so more force for me to use whwn maintenace.
How would initially set the esc up first time round as I've bought a motor and esc combi with no manual. Nothing is working bar the light and fan work and the light on the receiver comes on, but apart from that I'm getting nothing 😭 Ps first time doing anything like this btw 🙄
Hey Justin. Ensure that the servo is plugged into port 1 of the receiver and ESC to port 2 of the receiver. Ensure polarity is correct way around. Does your esc have a program button? What combo did you get?
@@MickoRC it's an RC carmaxx 60a esc and carmaxx 3300kv brushless motor. I've setup the transmitter according to the manual but now the wheels turn hard right every time it's turned on, when i turn the wheel left, it just straightens the wheels ect. Still not joy with acceleration, break or reverse 😕 🙄 😒
I have the 60A brushless goolrc 4300 with each. I have the dumbo x6 transmitter and radio. I can’t figure out why I don’t get forward or reverse. I have steering . Any help would be appreciated
Angel Razo, You might have to calibrate/initialize the throttle boundaries on the ESC. Check your ESC manual in case instructions are there. What brand ESC do you have? An example of calibration: ua-cam.com/video/MiKeYJnYjxU/v-deo.html I hope this helps.
My ESC is beeping and blinking red what do I do how do I calibrate it it’s a goolrc it did not come with a program card mine has a on and off switch I don’t see a button on mine
Hi Dustin. Thanks for watching this video. Seems some ESCs can only be programmed using a program card or computer. I believe your only option to program a GoolRC ESC is with a program card.

What if you don't have a reset button? Do you need a programming card?
Thanks for your question. In that case, Yes you'd need a programming card (assuming the ESC actually has programmable settings).

Micko RC goolrc esc
Hi @@fluffymyster2.. did you manage to rectify the throttle fwd/rev issue you were having?
Does this work with any esc with thst button close to power switch
Generally yes
Great Video, bit I realizad that mu Power botom doesnt have 3 wires
Thanks man!
Unfortunately that probably means you either cannot program your ESC -or- you requite a programming card for your particular ESC.
I know, that sucks, thank you man

@@MickoRC will This brand work the goolrc I found it on Amazon it’s the Jrelecs Programming Card for RC Car Brushless ESC Electronic Speed Controller
I would get a GoolRC program card if I had a GoolRC ESC. More likely to work. I hope it works out for you bro!
@@MickoRC Does it matter if I get a goolrc brushless ESC or can I change it up to a different brushes ESC
I dont think i can do that with goolrc esc
Unfortunately not all ESCs have a program button and only option to program them may be via a program card.
What battery do you use
I use any 2s battery for this procedure. In this video I am using a stock 2s battery that came with the wltoys 144001.

Do you have to program the esc
It's not a necessity. Only if you want to modify any of the configurable parameters of the ESC.

Is there a way to program eBay ESC without card
Generally yes. If there is a program button attached to the ESC then more than likely yes.
I was able to program the brushless ESC I purchased from ebay.. I did a demo of it on the first car in this video.
@@MickoRC I ordered a card but not sure if it explains what mode is for what it just says item 1234 and so on I don't know what function does what
@@carlosavalos9937 usually there's a reference table of the numbers and functions printed on the back of the card. I hope yours has it.
@@MickoRC thanks hopefully it has it when I get it in the mail thanks
@@carlosavalos9937 cool.
by the way.. does your esc have a button on it?
Sorry but i did dis and my car is only going forward!!!
Sounds like you've changed the running mode. It's usually the first setting parameter in the ESC and forward only mode is usually value 1. You probably want value 2.
Otherwise you could try doing a factory reset. In my ESC, I reset to factory settings by just turning on the ESC and then press and hold the ESC for 3 seconds. It might be the same for yours.
