Thank you for this. It seems like nearly every “Tamiya complete build” video skips all of this, and I for one needed this exact explanation. Great job, thank you!
Thank you. Have a Tamiya Frog and hooking up a new Traxxas TQ receiver and transmitter. Forward and reverse were opposite of the trigger. Last step worked and I had at first I had ESC in channel 1 and no motor operation. So I switched to ch 2. You solved both 👍🏼👍🏼 “cheers” from the US.
Thanks for the video 🙏 it was a great help, This ain’t exactly my first rodeo but it’s my first Tamiya ESC, I couldn’t understand the instructions it’s not clear enough. The video saved the ESC from the Hammer 😁 Thanks .
Verry good video. I always forget how to setup and this video explains the important settings. Now when comes the advanced tutorial: - change the voltage cutoff to a higher, lipo correct value - modify the circutes to run the servo at full voltage (HV servo) - use two speedcontrolers on channel 2 and 3 (for whatever reason)
Hello, I have a question although we not supposed to turn on car first without transmitter on ! Should the car go into runaway mode if we do as others I have don’t do this ? Thanks Cat
Hello Thank you so much for this demonstration. I noticed my RC car does not have drag brakes. It goes backward if i release the throttle while going uphill (neutral maybe?). Any idea how I can engage drag brake with this ESC if at all possible?
@@spudskirc4458 Oh no...such a shame. It has advanced feature EV features like sensored brushless motors, yet it can't stay steady on a hill. I have to invest in couple of Quickrun 1060s. Thank you for this video though.
No probs, it’s hard to find accurate videos on you tube! Have subscribed. My car seems to go faster in Rev though so will have to re watch and have a play with it
@@spudskirc4458 I tried it, worked a treat! Quick question, I have the exact same set up as you, when in neutral it is making a buzzing noise! Any tips?
Thanks. It isn’t recommended to run lipo as it doesn’t have a low voltage cut off so could risk damaging the battery. If you went and did it anyway use a separate lipo alarm to keep an eye on the voltage.
Hi I got lunchbox monster truck kit for my 40th its built watched this video, I've now got reverse and stop but now forward on remote I have steering just no forward motion ,, when i press for throttle the green light flashes on tble-02. But nothing happens
@@Stantoneo14 Sounds like it might be set backwords, if you unplug the motor wires and swap them does it then go forward and brake? If so then do the reverse activation which is on the video too.
Hi, I’ve done a hot build and have a stick receiver. The car goes faster when going forward than reverse as expected. But the I need to pull the stick towards me to go and forward to break. Opposite as expected. Would the end point set fix this do you think?
Hi I've got a lunchbox with tble-02s and have done activate reverse process many times now but still no reverse unless at random times at full pelt untill I push forward but then still no actual reverse I can control. Servo and everything eles is good. do u think I need to get a new speed controller. But thank for the video it was a big help 🙏 in getting me this far
@@spudskirc4458 yeah it was centre terns out mine likes to be on full trim. I'm going to switch for a hobbywing 3300kv lipo set up so will probably need another video 😆 🤣 😂. Thanks for the reply 👍
Can you help me troubleshoot my esc, Rx is bound, servo working set in channel 1, esc in channel two, no throttle at all, flashing green light and alarm beep when motor connected? Any ideas? Does flashing green mean it’s nit connected to receiver? But servo steering is? My brain hurts
@@spudskirc4458 yeah brushed motor, tested motor it’s fine, haven’t plugged servo into channel 2, I’ll try this and see what I get, I assume it’s not intelligent and the servo will then just operate from the throttle control.
@@spudskirc4458 So, I think channel 2 is defective, when the throttle is plugged into channel one, the green light and alarm drops away and I had forward throttle, but with servo in channel two I had no steering, as soon as I plugged throttle into channel two, green flashing and alarm again which means it’s not picking up the receiver. This is annoying as it’s all brand new kit. It has been 25 years since I’ve built an RC though so I figured it must be something stupid, unless my radio controller channel two is defective but I doubt it?
@@spudskirc4458 i have problem with no throttle on channel 2 (not working) but when switch 2 with 1 i can accelerate with steering and steer with accelerator, also when i turn on at ch2 it beeps and give tuncontrolable throttle for a while.
They are good motors for the price but the standard ESC has a 25T motor limit for brushed motors so you would need to change the ESC if using a 21T. I would recommend a Hobbywing 1060 for value and quality.

Video was very helpful. Thank you..... I haven't had an RC car been over 30 years.... A lot has changed
Cheers mate. Far more sense than the tamiya instructions! Now to finish the kit that this stumbling point has been overcome.
You just saved my life . Boxing day for my 8 year old building the LUNCHBOX. Simply followed your setup 👌 👍 thank you so much 🙏 😊
You’re welcome. Glad it helped you out 😃🎉
Am same as many comments on here this bit was sending me mad and giving me a migraine. Thanks alot top man
Thanks glad it helped.
You have literally saved from me a world of pain and frustration with this video. Thank you. Am off drifting with my new TT02!
Glad to hear it helped 😀👍🏼
thanks bro!!!! Superrrrrr helpful video you are the man!!
@@spudskirc4458 how to do a factory reset?
Thanks, like others i was totally stuck with the instructions provided. This worked first time!

thanks for this man got my vw working properly
No problem glad it helped!
Best video for sorting out all your problems with these tamiya speed controllers
Thank you so much!
Thank you glad to hear it helped.
Thanks for the info, finally got reverse working! lol
Glad it helped :)

A GOOD VIDEO ON HOW TO SET A RIGHT PAIN IN BUTT ESC
Great video. Building my first grasshopper and was stuck at this point with the wiring. The Tamiya manual isn't the best to say the least. Cheers. 👍🏼
Thanks, glad it helped you, the manual can be quite confusing.
Thanks. I learnt from your video.
awesome...straight to the point and great video. THANKS!!
thanks dude! thought my esc was broken !! it wouldn't reverse
No problem, glad it helped :D
Thanks. You got me reverse, man. 🙂
Very helpful, thank you very much.
Spot on Vid. saved the day!
YOU SAVED A HORNETS LIFE... 😂 THANKYOU BROTHER
Glad to hear it helped 😁
Saved me so much pain m8, thank you
Nice one glad it helped 👍🏼
Thanks, I thought the wire from speed controller went into the battery slot on the receiver now I know 👍👍
No problem glad you got it working :)
Can you still configure it so the brake isn’t an option? As in just forward and back? Thanks for the other info in the video, really handy
Thank you for this video I’ve got all the same kit really helpful
You’re welcome, glad it helped.
@@spudskirc4458 my wires are yellow and green so was abit confused at the start
Hello, I have a question although we not supposed to turn on car first without transmitter on ! Should the car go into runaway mode if we do as others I have don’t do this ? Thanks Cat
Hi, if you turn the car on first it can go run on its own, try setting your failsafe though to neutral this may help.
Done it thanks so much 👍🙏
Thank you for the tips
Top quality video! Well explained and perfect
Thank you, glad it helped :)
Thanks so much bro this helped so much!
Thank you ! Big help .
Glad it helped :).
Hello friend! does the quicrun hobbywing 1060 brushed esc fit the tamiya tt02 kit engines? can i use this esc?
I’m planning to buy a Tamiya RC kit
Question:
Can I use other ESC aside from Tamiya? Or It should be Tamiya ESC only?
Ty!
Yes you can use an alternate ESC. Hobbywing 1060 is a good choice if running brushed motors.
@@spudskirc4458 thanks!
Thanks, that has helped me setup hassle free
No problem glad it helped :)

Any idea why my TT02 with TBLE-02S is accelerating upon startup without pulling the accelerator? Using FlySky FS-GT5 receiver and controller.
Thanks, that helped me out
Great video, really helped me out! Thanks a lot!
Glad it did, thanks :)

@@farmerdawsy7381 I’d try the end point calibration again if it’s doing that.

@@spudskirc4458 I tried it, worked a treat! Quick question, I have the exact same set up as you, when in neutral it is making a buzzing noise! Any tips?
Hi bud great video ! Just wondered why my esc is on a constant beeping and receiver has stopped not lighting up
Cheers in advance 👍
Hi, the beeping means no signal. Sounds like your ESC BEC output is no longer working so sounds like a failed ESC
@@spudskirc4458 ok cheers bud!
Thanks for reply 🙂👍
Yes thanks bro that’s really helpful today thanks 🙏
My engine is rattling
I’m built a Tamiya Grasshopper
Do you know what the rattling could be?
Can u use any receiver and transmitter??
Yes within reason, doesn’t really matter on brand.
Gracias bro it really help us out we were stressing.lol
Very helpful 👍🏻
Great video, Can you run 2s lipo on this ESC ? As I want to start running lipo battery on my Blackfoot
Thanks. It isn’t recommended to run lipo as it doesn’t have a low voltage cut off so could risk damaging the battery. If you went and did it anyway use a separate lipo alarm to keep an eye on the voltage.

Hi, If you do the end point setup that should solve it.

@@spudskirc4458 il give that a go later on and see what happens
Thank you.
on mine it doesnt have channel 2 just names so what would channel 2 be
What does it say on your receiver? It may say TH instead.
Hi, I’ve done a hot build and have a stick receiver. The car goes faster when going forward than reverse as expected. But the I need to pull the stick towards me to go and forward to break. Opposite as expected. Would the end point set fix this do you think?
maybe you can try to reverse the throttle channel setting on transmitter?

Hi, make sure the throttle trim is centred and try the end point set up on the video and then try it again.
@@spudskirc4458 yeah it was centre terns out mine likes to be on full trim. I'm going to switch for a hobbywing 3300kv lipo set up so will probably need another video 😆 🤣 😂. Thanks for the reply 👍
Will be doing end point tomorrow anyway thanks again
Thanks man I’m fairly new to the RC world. You saved me a headache and some time deffo get a sub from me 👍🏻
No problem, glad it helped :).
Hi, How do you stop the break function so it goes direct to reverse?
Hi, you can’t disable reverse on these.
@@spudskirc4458 hi, I just want my ESC to respond like one of them old 3 step ones? They used to go straight in to reverse
@@jimcobain4381 Unfortunately you can't with this ESC. A Hobbywing 1060 would be a good option if you're running brushed motors only.
helps a lot, thanks :)
No problem, glad it did :)

My ch2 not working with sanwa mt44 other radio works :( any idea?
Thank you 🤘🏼
hey bro, i only have steering and no throttle at all
need help
Hi, check the esc is plugged into channel 2 and then perfom the high point setup from the video.
@@spudskirc4458 yeah nah I got it working but the motor keeps burning itself out, and there is no reverse when I get it working
how to do a factory reset?
Can you help me troubleshoot my esc, Rx is bound, servo working set in channel 1, esc in channel two, no throttle at all, flashing green light and alarm beep when motor connected? Any ideas? Does flashing green mean it’s nit connected to receiver? But servo steering is? My brain hurts
Is it a brushed motor? Which wires have you got it plugged into? Also have you tested channel 2 is working ok with a servo?
@@spudskirc4458 yeah brushed motor, tested motor it’s fine, haven’t plugged servo into channel 2, I’ll try this and see what I get, I assume it’s not intelligent and the servo will then just operate from the throttle control.

@@joreldoherty4772 Yes sounds like a faulty channel 2 then unfortunately
it still flashes red for me
Usually that means signal issue, check your radio is bound and the esc is in channel 2 of the receiver
Mine still ain’t workin
What’s happening with it or what is it doing or not doing?
@@spudskirc4458 i have problem with no throttle on channel 2 (not working) but when switch 2 with 1 i can accelerate with steering and steer with accelerator, also when i turn on at ch2 it beeps and give tuncontrolable throttle for a while.
can yo help me ? do you have facebook co i can video call maybe ? vant set up my car at all
Hello, did you follow the video to wire and set the ESC up?
@@spudskirc4458 yep and it must be something elese not right.
How do you find the Core 21 brushed motor? Looking for a fast motor than my torque tune one.
They are good motors for the price but the standard ESC has a 25T motor limit for brushed motors so you would need to change the ESC if using a 21T. I would recommend a Hobbywing 1060 for value and quality.
@@spudskirc4458 👍 I got a 1060. Great speed controller for the price. I intend to run it in my TT01e. What pinion would you reckon?
