How easy is that! I'm pretty sure you're the FIRST to make a video to help us set up the new esc🥇👌. Your rc display looks different!? 🤔. It looks so good with the white cabinetry etc, even the boxes on the top shelf stand out & make me drool🤤. Thanks for taking the time to show the new esc mate 👍🦘🇦🇺
Yeah, easy as! Thanks mate, I figured most people would be wanting to set the Hi cut off for LiPo's. There are already videos out from Tamiya and others about setting other settings but none seemed to talk about the Hi/Low cut out. 🤷♂️ I been moving a few cars around here and there, plus there's quite a few new vintage ones. I've moved a load of cars out to the shed in tubs but new ones keep appearing.😂
groovy brotha! my fighter buggy just arrived the other day......except there's one problem with that,my wonderful wife bought it for me but informed me that it's for father's day, so i have to wait until june to get it!!! and to make it worse, it's under the damn bed so i get to sleep over it for the next month and a half!!!! women brother, i'm tellin' ya.....woman lol;) at least she supports my addiction, gotta love her for that
Clever!!! I was curious about that. I reckon it would be great for a Stock Silver Can 380 or 540.... But it seems underpowered for most upgrade Motors. But at least it's the FIRST Tamiya Lipo ready ESC!
Yeah in general they're really only any good for stock motors. Although I run the Super Stock RZ in a couple of cars with a fan and it's been good. Had some overheating issues in my Top Force but I think that's just due to the lack of airflow with the body and undertray. The TBLE-04S is the same specs as the TBLE-02S with the exception of the hi/low battery cut off. 👍
Thumbs up, Mick. Cool you got one. Not to sure about this one. I saw some list the max. brushless turn to 21T. That’s high. Could be wrong though. But cool service you provided with the cut off.
Thanks Mikael. This one came with the Fighter Buggy RX Memorial. I must have got lucky, most others seem to get the TBLE-02S with theirs. No the brushless limit on these is 15.5t. The brushed limit is 25t, same as the TBLE-02S. But I'm sure we can run slightly lower turn motors by adding a fan. The only real advantage of the 04S over the 02S is the hi voltage cut off. Will save us having to run a LiPo alarm. Hope you are going well mate! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed 15.5T. Good to hear. But strange it’s still higher than the old TBLE-02S. Yeah, I think my Memorial comes with the 02S too. As far as I have seen only the releases coming up this summer in Europe got the new one. I’m looking forward trying out that cut off.
@@NordicRC The 02S can also take a 15.5t, even a 10.5t although Tamiya recommend changing the gearing and adding TFU-01 cooling fan. I think so too, it seem most of the ones in Europe had the 02S. I think the cut off will be very handy. 👍
Nice one Mick, this kind of video is always a big help to RC fans. I only have one LiPo! But 6.2v sounds like the ideal cut-off point for a 7.2v LiPo to run down to - funny that, as Tamiya say it's not designed to support LiPo batteries!!! What do you reckon, mate, as I'm a novice when it comes to these batteries! :)
Thanks Mark. I usually use a LiPo alarm with my TBLE-02S's, I set it at 3.2v-3.4v per cell most of the time. So that's 6.4v-6.8v total for 2s. 2.8v-3v would be an absolute minimum for me (5.6v-6v total). So I think 6.2v total is on the low side (especially since it's an "approximate" number, so may still go a tad lower) but still good for LiPo's. I think Tamiya's main concern with LiPo's is the fact that people may run right on the motor limit, and add in a high C rated LiPo, maybe gearing too high as well and POP! I think it's just easier for them to not recommend them rather than deal with all the warranty claims. I believe the LiFe batteries are safer too, which is why they're trying to push them but they're expensive. Well, that's my theory anyway lol. 👍
@@jdpaslRC I have seen that one. That will make it easy for a lot of newcomers to the hobby. I have a XB Series Grasshopper I've still not driven, I wanted to put bearings in it first but just never got around to it. 😩👍
thats a strange one mick i bought mine from Frontline hobbies, ill be giving them a call in the morning asking as to why mine came with a tble02 ?? Unless some came with them and some with out but you can never tell being tamiya, great explanation here mick awesome man cheers
I think some had the 02 some had the 04. I saw a lot of the guys in the UK got the 02 as well. I didn't get mine as soon as they were released though, so maybe they put 02's in the very first ones. Yeah it's a strange one.
Nice esc but no nice shiny tamiya logo sticker on it is a shame...lol l am a sucker for a nice shiny sticker on things! Hey Mick is the 04 still like the 02 in terms on motor limit of 23t? I suppose l could look it up! But always good ask you to keep you on your game😉👍
I noticed that too, and the Tamiya print is kinda split into two lines. Me too mate, shiny stuff is good! 😁. 25t brushed limit on both, I read both manuals just minutes ago... Of course that's doesn't mean I got it right 🤣. Seriously though, yeah both 25t. I'm sure the 04s will be same as the 02s and will be able to run lower turns when using a fan. I think the 02S limit was 23t with the fan. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed cool thanks for the info Mick regarding set up! Plus please its not just me who is easy bought by a shiny badge or sticker lol😁.l don't use tamiya esc much these days but I have run a sport tuned motor on the 02 and all ok no problem and believe that motor to be a 23t but is it?? There was talk about them not being that turn a while back l think tamiya can be a bit loose when it comes to their specifications maybe? its interesting tamiya say 25t limit on the manuals! and l thought tamiya would of made the limit on the 04 a bit more special too seem its brand spanking new product! tamiya do seem to play it a little safe on their esc! That would make an interesting video Mick to see what the tamiya 02 & 04 esc can really deal with and handle safely or before they pop! Great stuff again mate👍
Got one of these with a Grasshopper 2 Black Edition Kit. Unfortunately it has the issue that the connected motor starts moving, when I move the servo (CH1/Steering). Maybe a noise issue or something like that. Replaced every component including servo and motor, tried caps on different receivers etc., but the problem only went away completely, when I replaced the ESC with a TBLE-02S I still had laying around.
That seems strange. I've not had that issue YET, but will keep an eye out for it. Maybe Tamiya had a bad batch or something. 🤷♂️. Thanks for the heads up! 👍
I didnt do all this and connected it directly to a 2s battery and now it doesn't respond to the receiver at all. In fact ince the battery is connected it just takes off on its own..Did I blow the esc or can I still adjust it to lipo?
I have same battery as yours, but with 5000 mah, started up, runs few burst but then it cuts off and blinks the red LED, must set up the cut off on Hi also with nimh batteries? Sorry for the stupid question, but I am pretty new in the RC world. 🙂
I not right up to speed on the flashing codes but I have a feeling the flashing red could be either overload or the neutral setting is not correct. I'd say check the manual and set up the neutral point again. The hi/low cut off should be on the low cut off for NiMh batteries, the high cut off is really only for LiFe batteries or in our case LiPo. Hope this helps. Have a Merry Christmas! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed thanks man, i appreciate your answer, then I will set the cut off again how it was from factory, I guess low... and retry to set the neutral, hope it works. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Totally confused, you just did the same thing twice, how did the EAsC know High v Low? Did you do anything with the Tx? Its out of shot and not mentioned
Lol I actually did it three times. You set it with the button on the ESC, not the transmitter. You don't need the transmitter turned on, I only turn in on in the video to stop the ESC beeping because there was no TX signal. Using the button on the ESC you can toggle between hi/low. 1. Turn the power ESC power on while holding the ESC Button down, the ESC will start cycling through colours. 2. Release the button when it gets to green. 3. If the ESC was in HI, it will now be in LOW, or vice versa... A short beep indicates the ESC in set to LOW cut off, a long beep indicates the ESC is in Hi cut off. Hope this helps! 👍
That 6 pin plug I think is for factory programming/setup. It's not mentioned anywhere so I believe it's not for the user. Setup is done via the setup button. 👍
I'm not sure about that one. I've not seen it mentioned in the instructions or online. I think the best you can do is go through each setting individually.
@@RCHobbyShed yeah I did that in the end ... with a brushed motor there seems to be other problems now like I get full power without a break 🤣 guess I have to play around a bit to get the right setting.
Lol there is a lot of that going around. I noticed a lot of people in the UK and Europe had theirs before I got mine and they all seem to have the 02s. I'm thinking the first lot had the 02s until they were used up then they changed to 04s. 🤷♂️👍
Thanks for this. This esc came with my plasma edge 2 tt02b. Definitely going to make the most of it with a lipo!
Glad I could help! 🙂👍

No mate, sadly the 02s only has the one voltage cut off, which is too low for LiPo batteries.
