DHK Maximus - How To Reprogram/Program The HW SC8 RTR 120A Brushless ESC Without A Program Card

[@wade7959]

This was SUPER helpful. I have this ESC in multiple RCs, and I didn't know how to change it. Thanks!!

[@georgepapamichail1006]

Thanks, these info were useful especially about the servo.

[@dustinsumbingco9874]

Thank you for this vid! Cheers

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Nice info very useful 👍

[@jaseduar]

thanks for the tutorial, do you have a video after the punch level to see the difference?

[@sergio13810]

Tks for the video. I need to change those 2 settings too. Just installed the esc on my stampede. And reverse is real slow. But its fine for my daugther.

[@cwatson42785]

Holy shit you got one bud!! Remember me your cheetah bro and I was talking about this truck? Now we got the same trucks. Sweet bro. I'll stay tuned in. I'm gonna make that video on the nice proline body I did for my cheetah! It looks really good with the new body and badlands. Also buddy I recommend getting the hobbywing program card. It's only 10$ and saves alot of time.

[@ItsRCTeng]

Yeahhh 😁 got me a Maximus. Are you having issues with the screws coming off on you Maximus like me? That’s the only thing I dont like so far is having to replace the screws but everything els is super awesome! Hey thanks for the info on the program card. I’ll look into it. 👍👍

[@RcOffroad9513]

Good video bro

[@nts323]

I bought that esc and the program card after first run the fan stop working figured out the plug on esc went out so can't use the program card I have to program it manually.

[@raymartcatindig7774]

Happy new year bro. Just a question. Whats really punch lvl does? Does it boosts speed or just the throttle response? (more torque on first trigger) could u please explain. I set mine on 6 level

[@ItsRCTeng]

The punch is basically the level response of the trigger. The higher the punch level the less you have to press on the trigger for peak power. Its like how far you want the trigger to travel before it goes into peak power. My punch level is also at 6 so around 3/4 throttle on the trigger gives me peak power.

[@raymartcatindig7774]

@@ItsRCTeng i knew it doesnt give a speed boost. Haha. Thanks bro! Big help! Happy new Year Bro. ❤️

[@ItsRCTeng]

Happy new year bro 👍👊😎🍻

[@IgotHeliFever]

TL will these setting work for the for the DHK Zombie 8e's ESC? If they are thanks so much for great video if not do you have manual for Zombie 8e and you do video on it's variables & settings ? I have the Zombie but didn't get instructions on the ESC programming! Hope you can help!

[@ItsRCTeng]

Yeah if your esc is HobbyWing then you can change the settings using the instructions I show. Dhk esc’s are most likely HobbyWing esc. 👍

[@IgotHeliFever]

@@ItsRCTeng Thank You so much Man! I've had my Zombie for 3 yrs but never could change punch setting or others because that sheet or (page) did not come with manual or in box when new! You saved Me! : ) great video !!!

[@ItsRCTeng]

Cool glad I can help. 👍

[@chadlundgren354]

Guys my cheetah I put the same 120a my rev is at 100 forward 50 and its not the controller I tried it ..I still have my stock 80a I'll try that first to trouble shoot then reprogram the 120a

[@nomore25]

Hi mate! Is this similar to quicrun 10bl120? Which one is better? Thanks mate!

[@ItsRCTeng]

Yeah a little similar but I don’t know much about the quickrun. This ESC I have on all my truck is great and can handle 4s without overheating. It also has a program button which makes easy to program without having to carry a program device around with you. 👍

[@HG-gh1gz]

Hi mate, so i installed my 120amp on my cheetah and it has "drag brake force" which is Column 2 and i dont know how to reprogram it can you please help me? on column 2 thank you. Your the best!!!

[@ItsRCTeng]

Set column 2 to the first beeps or 1 green flash on the ESC. Drag brake force is 0% at the first beep. Follow the procedure in my video to get an idea on how to set the ESC. Watch both my ESC videos for my JLB and DHK, they are both the exact same procedure on how to reprogram the 120a ESC.

[@Klaasvaneenshonie]

Thx i set the low-voltage cutoff on 3.2v and punch to 9😂 on my jlb 21101 that thing will be flying!

[@ItsRCTeng]

😂👍 good job! R you referring to the 120a version JLB cheetah? I was thinking of getting that before this Maximus but I’ll save that truck for later. 👍👍

[@Klaasvaneenshonie]

Teng Lay yeah the 120a truggy version. But the only problem is that the dogbones keep bending with high jumps. And i am jumping like 4-5 meters (12-15ft) and thats pretty high. My little brother is getting the dhk zombie and the maximus is basically the same but do you have any problems with the dogbones?

[@ItsRCTeng]

Yeah the CVD always bend on my cheetah too. I think all JLB cheetah will face this bending CVD issue. One thing I notice on the dhk, the screws around the suspension area and the control arm screws tend to get loose after a couple of hard runs.

[@Klaasvaneenshonie]

Teng Lay "hard" 😂 jk, maybe use some loctite.

[@ItsRCTeng]

Lol yeah dude. Ivan wing the Olympics with this truck from all those flips, tumbles, and cartwheels 🤸‍♂️ LOL

[@techytools5668]

what is the price of this esc and motor

[@ItsRCTeng]

Esc is about $70-90 and motor is about $70-80.

[@mikeb3315]

What dose it mean when it's an out-of-control blipping red and green light?

[@ItsRCTeng]

🤷‍♂️ try to recalibrate it and then reprogram the ESC again.

[@mikeb3315]

@@ItsRCTeng I believe it was the battery...I charged them up and it all works. But...my new lights are in channel 3 and 4, and automatically come on now 🤷 lol. Also need to sort out my steering...it doesn't seem to have much power making a full left and right turn. Do you have any videos up explaining how to have the best steering? Or parts to upgrade for better steering, like a decent servo?

[@ItsRCTeng]

Upgrade the servo to one of those $10-12 20kg servo. They’re great, I’ve been using my aftermarket servo for about 4 years now and it still strong with a good turning radius. My truck flips when I turn at high speed so the servo works well with holding tight turns. Besides that, this truck is good in its stock form.

[@TODD0626]

I have the same esc and the fan doesn't work anymore, im unsure what the issue is, the fan looks to be in tac so im clueless. Any tips

[@ItsRCTeng]

Yes this happen to me before. Sometimes hard impact on the truck from bashing will cause a slight movement or even a broken arm that holds the fan in center. Tap with your finger on the fan and see if it spins when you tap it. Or, take off the 4 screws on top of the esc and take a look at the fan. Also, look at the connection plug that the fan is connected to the esc. Wiggle it around it can also be loose connections. If all that don’t work, then most likely the fam motor is burned out. My problem was, one of the arms broke so I super glued it back while trying to keep the fan as center as possible so it don’t rub the side walls when spinning.

[@TODD0626]

@@ItsRCTeng ive also tried your tutorial for the max punch speed and brake force, my traxxas slash becomes a real weapon

[@TODD0626]

@@ItsRCTeng but for the fan, so far it looks in tact, ive blew an axel so ill fix 5hat then ill have a closer look at the fan. Is the fan connection cable located inside the esc or on the outside

[@ItsRCTeng]

@@TODD0626 it should be a plug just like all the other plug on the receiver but the fan plug is connected to the side of the esc.

[@TODD0626]

@@ItsRCTeng the fan had alot of dirt inside of it. All good now. My car is now backwards, reverse = forwards forwards = reverse. Help

[@sounafortugno4743]

What is the best setup for a 2S lipo ?

[@ItsRCTeng]

For what kind of car? This truck only runs on 4s because of the two wire deans connector and two battery trays.
