Hey thanks bro that was a very good step by step calibration of the Max 6. Appreciate all you do for us in the RC hobby community. Hey big thumbs 👍up to your grandmother those shock covers look awesome.
Ohhh brother... Your Grandmother is on point with her Work here!!! God bless her!!! PLEASE keep her safe... especially now!!! The snake-skins look epic!! Big thumbs up from across the big pond mate!! Keep it real and keep the family safe!!!
Thanks for the video I was going crazy I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong you were alot of help and your grandma definitely did her thing lol thanks again
Great video. That glitching is the result of combining a good steering servo with the cheap traxxas radio. I have 2 traxxas radios combined with savox servos and they both glitch from time to time and glitch busters didnt fix the problem..... but a sanwa radio did
Thanks for doing this video. I had trouble getting my Max6 in my Xmaxx to calibrate on the first few tries because it is a bit tricky. Your video is the first good explanation of this process I’ve seen.
U no your stuff bro thanks . On my new max 8 I had to do mine in the reverse order . Mine kept going to reverse. So do it in the reverse order nutural set. Reverse set. Then full throttle set. Turn esc off an back on . It should have forward newtural an full throttle. Thanks again bro. I have learned alot from u over the years.
Hey man great video! A little waffling towards the end off topic but didnt know that aboiut bigger esc needing to be in stop b4 rev. Tip for you: awesome sock for the shocks. Tuck the excess into the spring before putting them on the shocks and they are super tidy.
Thank you very much do you want a Ford Taurus s h o i own seven of them I noticed that in your name and is it kona blue as a pretty color if it is I got a tuxedo black one 2010 performance package with 500 horsepower 600 wheel torque it Hall's pretty hard

Thank you so much for spending the time to watch the video it is much appreciated thank you for the comment on the shock covers my lovely grandmother makes them for me custom and she finds the best-looking Fabrics I feel they really make it pop you know
Rippey RC thank you so much I really appreciate that I put a lot of work to all my rc vehicles and also that's only part of them I own 27 rc cars I really really love this hobby
DAN Kirk thanks for watching the video I really appreciate it also thanks so very much for the kind commit i appreciate it also I might sell a couple sets of the shock covers possibly there way stronger material then any one you can buy online and last longer
I'm a bit late. But you have any idea why my max 5 is binding throttle to the steering? I can't seem to get the throttle to even register when in programming mode on the esc.
Great video, I’d like to pick your brain more. I just bought a XMAXX from my foreman. When he went to demo it the ESC was down. We’re getting a new one from traxxas but I’d like to know more about the aftermarket connectors you’re talking about. Will they connect to traxxas batteries?
Hi, thanks for the video! Further question on the Hobbywing ESC: is is “smart” as well as the OEM that when you want to reverse an already stopped truck you do not need to brake first and then reverse but the electronics knows that the vehicle is stopped and initiate reverse for the first frint pushing of the trigger on the radio? Thanks
Great video. Question. My truck Was stored for about 6 months. Pulled her out to drive it and it won’t go full throttle. I did this and it still won’t. It seems like it’s running on low voltage cutoff. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks
Make sure your batteries are properly charged and the batteries are not bad LiPO batteries will go bad if they're not put in storage charge after use and then charge properly also make sure the speed control is calibrated correctly look up for the speed control brand that you have instructions to see how to properly calibrate that particular speed control
Hello thank you for commenting on the video and watching the video hey I found out that I was having a interference problem with my radio system it's never did it again ever to me I would strongly recommend to recalibrating your speed control and transmitter and starting their
Thanks for the detailed video.. I can’t seem to get mine working. The steering works bit can’t get it to register the throttle. When pressing the set button there is not been to say it has register neutral, forward or reverse. Any ideas what could be the issue?
Aki dude I’m having the same problem. I couldn’t get my first max 6 to calibrate and I just installed a second one with a new receiver and I still can’t get the throttle to calibrate. I have steering.
You my want to try a glitch buster, that will stop the servo glitch cause of low power our up your battery output power. Just a tip cause I had the same problem with my Hobbywing.
Ali H. I'm using the stock steering servo with a b e c voltage set at 6 volts the stock Servo cannot handle 7.4 volts you could cause damage to the servo thank you so much for watching the video it is insanely appreciated
Hello mate. I recently installed the max 6 esc on my xmaxx..but is it normal to push the trigger up to 60% before it responds to drive reverse? Did all the calibrations even all the settings with my program card..rest works flawless....🤷♂️
Do you mean like there's a delay when you go in reverse just letting you know with this speed control in the max 5 speed control you have to be to a complete stop before the speed control will engage reverse so usually there always is a delay in reverse and reverse usually is either 25% or 50% you don't get 100% throttle in reverse with hobbywing speed controls Factory their set at 25% unless you change it with the Wi-Fi module or a tuning card
Shad McDaniel possible you have a bad power switch on you speed control try to press the SET but a litte more firmly if that don't work then call hobbywing
The ESC wire needs to be plugged into the 3rd slot. Not the #2 slot like I believe you stated in an earlier video. Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for your thorough tutorials regardless.
So I push and hold set turn on esc and release set on the first beep. It keeps beeping then I don't even touch the remote and press set and it just stops beeping. No red or green light
Tyler Maloney Yes press and hold the set button and tell you see 1 red Flash from the led then let go the led will go with throdle at neutral press set 1 time the motor will beep 1 time pull the trigger to full throttle and press set the motor will beep 2 times then go full reverse and press set the motor will beep 3 Indicating the calibration is correct
Alex rc freak according to traxxas app throttle is at zero. But it won't even let me calibrate my vxl8s esc either. Been fighting with it for a week now.
Once I installed my hobby wing speed controller I started having that same steering shake issue. Never had it with the original ESC. Happens frequently especially when it is off-balance. I could really use your help trying to change the programming in it though if you could help. I also noticed by installing those that my reverse speed was cut in half. I also noticed that my punch speed or take off speed had been dialed back also. I was looking through the manual trying to figure out how to adjust all of this but for some reason it is not allowing me to adjust the punch speed nor the reverse
Yes absolutely any hobbywing speed control this is how you correctly calibrated using the switch the on-off switch thank you so much for spending the time to watch the video I do apologize for the late reply please let me know if you have any questions at all I'll do my absolute best to answer them

Thanks for the comment I appreciate it very much and I'll let her know
I just put an sc8 in my rustler and didn't know how to calibrate the remote. Thanks a ton!! Subbed just because!
The reverse tip was extremely helpful. I reset the esc 3 times thinking I did it wrong. Thanks!
Ohhh brother...
Your Grandmother is on point with her Work here!!! God bless her!!! PLEASE keep her safe... especially now!!!
The snake-skins look epic!!
Big thumbs up from across the big pond mate!! Keep it real and keep the family safe!!!
Thanks she makes some awesome shock covers
Man grandma needs to make some extra shock wraps to sell. She does nice work! Premo fit👍. Nice video and fleet of trucks.
Thanks for the video I was going crazy I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong you were alot of help and your grandma definitely did her thing lol thanks again
What's up Alex! Thank you for wisdom on programming on the max6! It took me 2 days. Happy holidays

Thanks man!! I appreciate you making this video
Excellent! Just what I needed! I got my Max6 on the way. You’re a lifesaver
Rippey RC thanks so much for the kind commit much love to you glad I could help
Alex rc freak : how many rc’s do you have. I see some B.E.A.utiful rc’s in the background!
Rippey RC thank you so much I really appreciate that I put a lot of work to all my rc vehicles and also that's only part of them I own 27 rc cars I really really love this hobby
Oh, what are your thoughts about the new Erevo 2.0 ??? Sorry for all the questions?!
Rippey RC look to be a strong vehicle and also looks to be built the way traxxas should have from the beginning I still love my old e revo brushless
Thank you for this wonderful video About calibration because I'm getting the max5 and motor combo
Tell your grandmother awesome job and I’ll buy some of those blue shock covers and thank you for your videos awesome job Dan
DAN Kirk thanks for watching the video I really appreciate it also thanks so very much for the kind commit i appreciate it also I might sell a couple sets of the shock covers possibly there way stronger material then any one you can buy online and last longer
Alex rc freak well let me know when you do ill by some and make sure she makes some red ones too lol thanks again Dan
DAN Kirk ok will do there all hand made
Thank you very much, worked a treat.
Nice video
First a little samba servo lol. Thanks 4 ur easy explanation about how to calibrate. i"m number 100!yea
Great vid my friend and ya I just put a glitch buster on mine and I have the max 5 in it and it’s workin great .. keep on keepin 👍👍
Good job
The shaking is a common thing. Mine does it too and it has something to do with the way its picked it up and set down, it freaks out the sensors.
looks like mobile 1 grease down where the spur connects. good video
Dave Dallara thanks for watching the video I really appreciate it i use wheel bearing grease to lube drivetrane components
I'm a bit late. But you have any idea why my max 5 is binding throttle to the steering? I can't seem to get the throttle to even register when in programming mode on the esc.
thanks man!
Thanks for watching this video I really appreciate you
Hahhahah "What the fuck was that?" roflmao - best part in a video ever...

What’s upper my 8s xmaxx keep making that weird noise what is that & why it keeps happening any takers?
Great video bro
Dick Trickle thanks glad you like it

Thanks
Yes this speed control dose it but you can also program it out to it you would like it's a preference for what you like
@@alexperea20 Thanks! Do you mean programming with a programming card or by connecting it to a PC ..or else?
@@robertsoltesz2211 if it's factory esc you can program it by the Traxxas app or by the led flashing lites
3:14 the x maxx has the scare of is life ahah
Did u ever find out wat that wobbling was mine does that but my tsm is off any advice
Great video. Do you know if the Traxxas link will work with the max6 Esc?
I just a bought a xerun hobbywing brushless combo I programmed the esc and after programming my motor only goes forward no reverse my steering is ok
What servo is that it looks crazy powerful for the X maxx
Awesome! Do you bother with a programming card or is that not needed? Thanks
Aki i use the wifi Express module to program my esc if needed but a program card would work perfectly also
I have a problem here max 6 esc. I can't figure out y my front n rear drive in the opposite direction . Is somethin when wrong .. pls help thanks..
nice video

Hi nice video did u ever find out wat that shaking was mine does that any time my tsm is on any suggestions and my xmaxx is all stock
Hello thank you for commenting on the video and watching the video hey I found out that I was having a interference problem with my radio system it's never did it again ever to me I would strongly recommend to recalibrating your speed control and transmitter and starting their
R u happy with ur max 6 setup
Like do u think u need a max 5
I have this problem on my hobbywing max 6 of not calibrating do I need to buy the programming for the esc to calibrate
Thanks for the detailed video.. I can’t seem to get mine working. The steering works bit can’t get it to register the throttle. When pressing the set button there is not been to say it has register neutral, forward or reverse. Any ideas what could be the issue?
Aki dude I’m having the same problem. I couldn’t get my first max 6 to calibrate and I just installed a second one with a new receiver and I still can’t get the throttle to calibrate. I have steering.
Same 4 years later. Any chance with your problems?
You my want to try a glitch buster, that will stop the servo glitch cause of low power our up your battery output power. Just a tip cause I had the same problem with my Hobbywing.
Tank 62 thanks you for the commit i was thinking about trying that because the hobbywing esc is power hungry I was thinking about getting one
Where did you get the green shock covers
Hey dude! Does this esc give more power to the motor over the stock esc? Thanks
What servo are you running? Seems super fast and strong. And can I use 7.4V on stock servo or only 6V?
Ali H. I'm using the stock steering servo with a b e c voltage set at 6 volts the stock Servo cannot handle 7.4 volts you could cause damage to the servo thank you so much for watching the video it is insanely appreciated
Yeah no problem. I find your videos interesting. You got a subscriber from Denmark!
The steering wobling is your tsm that is to high
I tryd this and I still can’t go in reverse
Thank you so much
stazorm1 hey thank you for watching the video I really hope it helped you on how to calibrate the speed control properly
Hello mate. I recently installed the max 6 esc on my xmaxx..but is it normal to push the trigger up to 60% before it responds to drive reverse? Did all the calibrations even all the settings with my program card..rest works flawless....🤷♂️

That will probably will be it.thanks mate👍
how to reverse the throttle ?
What pinion do you run with your 46T spur?
I run a 18 tooth pinion thanks for watching sorry for the late reply
Your fine, I’m planning running the same setup as you just running on 6s, hopefully it makes a difference because mine doesn’t have much power at all
I do not get the green light after I let go
Mine doesn't register when I try to set forward (no two beeps after pressing set button). I tried several times with the same results.
Shad McDaniel possible you have a bad power switch on you speed control try to press the SET but a litte more firmly if that don't work then call hobbywing
The ESC wire needs to be plugged into the 3rd slot. Not the #2 slot like I believe you stated in an earlier video. Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for your thorough tutorials regardless.
Shad McDaniel I said it needs to be in channel 2 port on the receiver I'm glad it's working for you
Mine wont calibrate the red blink once then dies out
What servo is in this truck? Thanks man
Stock traxxas one 350oz of torque
Can't get it to calibrate
So I push and hold set turn on esc and release set on the first beep. It keeps beeping then I don't even touch the remote and press set and it just stops beeping. No red or green light
Tyler Maloney Yes press and hold the set button and tell you see 1 red Flash from the led then let go the led will go with throdle at neutral press set 1 time the motor will beep 1 time pull the trigger to full throttle and press set the motor will beep 2 times then go full reverse and press set the motor will beep 3 Indicating the calibration is correct
Alex rc freak I do that but as soon as I hit set to set neutral the led and noise stops and then it doesn't do anything.
Tyler Maloney you may have a defective ESC check your throdle adjustment on your radio and make shure it is at 0 or neutral
Alex rc freak according to traxxas app throttle is at zero. But it won't even let me calibrate my vxl8s esc either. Been fighting with it for a week now.
Tyler Maloney sounds like your radio system is bad
Once I installed my hobby wing speed controller I started having that same steering shake issue. Never had it with the original ESC.

All I didnwas take it out the xmaxx and put it the kraton nothing
Please can you help
Won’t stop blinking red
Promising 🤣
The stereeing moving is the tsm dont be dumb
This work for the max10
Yes absolutely any hobbywing speed control this is how you correctly calibrated using the switch the on-off switch thank you so much for spending the time to watch the video I do apologize for the late reply please let me know if you have any questions at all I'll do my absolute best to answer them
