DumboRc X4 and X6 control setup plus end point adjusting for channel 3-4

Hi welcome back,in this video I take you through the setup and function of the X4 and X6 control with receivers.
The receivers setup in the same way except for one feature the Gyro.
The X4 4channel control is paired with the X6f receiver.
While the X6 6channel control is paired with the X6FG receiver the G signifies Gyro function and can't be used with the X4 control.
I take you through a basic setup and a problem solve solution if what you see happens. Then I take a look at how to set end points on channels 3 and 4 on both control.. you may find this bit interesting if you run rear steering or have E-brake function on your car.

One thing to add, there are apparently 3 different versions of the software, each with different ways to get into settings or to change the mode from mixed/tank mode to standard controls. Yours are the most common: settings: from off, hold left and full throttle, turn on, release, then push #3 to enter settings... light will start flashing, and #3 again to save mixed/tank mode: from off, hold right and full reverse, turn on, release both, then pull full throttle to change modes, light will change from blue to red to indicate it is in tank mode. older ones: settings: from off, hold steering full right, no throttle. turn on, release steering, push #3 to enter settings... light will start flashing, and #3 again to save mixed/tank mode: from off, hold throttle at full reverse, no steering. turn on, hold full reverse until light starts flashing, then pull to max forward to switch modes. red is tank, blue is standard my X6 is slightly different, and doesn't match any instructions i've seen anywhere... settings: from off, hold left and full throttle, turn on, *keep held until light starts to flash*, then release, press 3 to enter settings and 3 again to save when done mixed/tank mode: from off, hold right and full reverse, turn on, *keep held until light flashes red/blue*, then release, press 3 to enable changing the mode, then full throttle to switch modes, then 3 to save.

Thank you so much for this video, my friend, all the way from Pontiac, MI USA. At first I was having some hiccups. I was doing all the calibration correctly and at first had throttle but no steering and thought my servo was crap, then I didn't even have throttle and couldn't figure out why, so I put everything away for the evening and watched your video again. Then the light bulb went on over my head and it occurred to me that I had both proportional control dials turned to zero. Now I can sit and enjoy the evening knowing it's sorted out. Thank you again for this clear concise video on the DumboRC X6 package.

Have you tried EPA less than 100% for throttle and steering by not going to stop points on the controller? Just a thought. That way you could have les than full beans acceleration without affect on braking…

if you watch the video, when you dont hit maximum EPA, It seem to put the steering into a rage. So acceleration might be sketchy too, other than that you can adjust everything on the control.

I had set up my crawler with a winch. Used channel 4 first. But it would slowly "drift" and pull in the winch line(already snapped it once) Not positive this is the info I need but I'm going to try it. My transmitter is almost 4 years old now, and without touching the steering at all, if you lightly shake the controller, the steering wheel is loose enough to let the steering servo twitch all over. Been happy enough with it up till now, but I think it's time to upgrade to something where I can adjust the deadband.

Go for a flysky remote try something different. DumboRc haven't got complete end point adjustments for steering or throttle. Just channel 3-4 can be altered. So like I say try a flysky or something abit more crawler friendly

Hi, first of all, geat video, very educational. I was wondering can you help me. I have a problem with my Dumborc x6 transmitter. On channel 4 I have a winch motor, and when I turn of the transmitter (ch4 button is in the neutral position) my winch motor turns on and I can turn it off, only if I unplug the receiver for the power. I have done some research online, and it seems to me that there is a failsafe on ch4 that activates when I turn the transmitter off, buy that failsafe is not setup to be in neutral position. Do you know how could I solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

[@mehimrc1314]

Use the duel rate dial on the remote, turn your wheels fully one way. Hold the position and use the dial to decrease steering angle. Just untill the wheel stops moving, now turn the wheel to the opposite side, repeat the process untill your happy the car isn't over steering I to the arms.

I have a problem with it i noticed the throttle trigger is being so touchy and makes my rc run itself i have throttle at 0 and when i shake the transmitter side to side it flicks the rc with its wheels and also in trying to go in reverse. I would tap it alot to get it in reverse. I tap my transmitter to make it stop. And also goes forward and im holding brake and if i let go goes forward and its frustrating because i spent nearly 42 dollars for this remote. I tried the steps on the video but my car kept going off on me and made it frustrating to do it.

[@mehimrc1314]

I don't believe channel 5&6 have endpoints, only channel 3&4 can be set like that. I don't fully understand you last part, are you using a button version control (no dial). If so the buttons only act like on/off switches.

Not just nitro, but I grabbed two old traxxas models that have the 27mhz systems. They need to go, so with this radio setup, I need a third channel for reverse. And I need end point adjustment on throttle and brake and reverse servo. But I wanna be able to do it with the servos active, so I can fine tune it for the throw.

Sir my Traxxas Summit was working properly with DomboRC X6 but now i got a big problem. Its throttle is now moving with channel 4 button, not the throttle trigger I have done its calibration too, but not working Kindly help

[@mehimrc1314]

Put the control into calibration mode with the blue light flashing. You'll have to play about but it's a matter of pattern with the buttons. With the light flashing do steering first, full left/full right then centre. Next flick channel four left/right then back to centre. After that do your throttle, full throttle/full brake then centre... hit channel 3 to complete and see what your RC does. Work the button untill you get them right, factory reset should of worked when you done it first time.... Hope this helps please let me know your outcome 👍

It think that's possible depending on how your lights are set up. If you have three wires going into channel 3 ect. So if you have a micro switch on your lights channel 3 Should work as ON/OFF.

[@shred__dad]

Great video, really detailed. I might have a good question for you. Got a weird thing happenning with one of my dumborc receivers. Fail safe settings are the issue. After i turn off the transmitter before switching off the ESC, the receiver applies throttle to the engine. I cannot find any info on the web how to reset or turn off these fail safe settings. The receiver is a X6YC(G) if that makes any difference. Funny beacause it doesnt happen on my other receivers (x6f & x6fg) while using same x6a controller ( i already followed your instructions to reset the controller ) Any help higlhy appreciated 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mehimrc1314]

Wow that was well wrote, great to understand someones issues and what they've already noticed. Personally I have ZERO knowledge of this (X6YC) you speak of, but from what you've wrote I'd say the receiver could be faulty. BUT you do say you turn the control off before the receiver, that's a no no you should know better 🤣 Maybe your getting some residual power from the cap packs of the ESC that's powering the receiver and with no control it will do as it pleases. Turn the car off first, then the control see if it still happens. Electrics cars can still have run aways but only in my opinion if the receiver has gone/faulty. Hope this helps and thanks for an easy read 😊

[@shred__dad]

@@mehimrc1314 Thanks ;) Haha yeah i know i know its a nono ;) i do it only on the bench ;) but this realy got me surprised. It's a nono indeed, but imagine loosing signal or battery power in the transmitter while driving, default shoult be that it swithes to neutral, in my case the rc would drive itself forward. So far i managed to find some info that it's the fail safe settings. But no instruction or knowledge how to deal with it ( reset receiver settings or change to neutral on signal loss )

@Me Him Rc greatly, I am building a injora trx4 clone and the shift servo( after centering the horn with channel 5) has too much throw forward Into low gear but not enough in reverse its like it only sees 25% of the range in one direction but not the other 🤷‍♂️ hopefully this fixes it when I get home 😁

[@mehimrc1314]

Hmm I'm not used to hearing channel 5 being used for servo function. Channel 3/4 can be adjusted for servo throw using the setting as I show how to adjust. Maybe ill have another look into changing channels like channels 5/6 not sure how much adjustability they'll have. Your clone sounds interesting and I hope you find a good combination of functions for lights ect.

[@dante319]

@Me Him Rc I took the servo horn off, put it in channel 5, put it at as close to the middle as I could and aligned the horn to the middle hoping I could set the channel 4 switch for high/neutral/low like on my WPL c24 but the throw on this receiver from factory is like 15-25% and the one for my WPL (X4 radio) was 50% and just perfect for the shift rod length out the box, this one...not so much 😂

[@DisisSnake]

How do check the built in FailSafe? I cant find info anywhere

[@mehimrc1314]

The fail safe is set by hitting the bind button once light will flash, then within 5 seconds press once again. So car on, control on. hit bind once now choose full throttle, neutral, or brake, now hit bind within 5 seconds. This should put the car in your preferred safe position 👍 and if it doesn't work write a strongly worded email to Dumborc 😂

[@mehimrc1314]

Channel 4 is just a 3 position switch, I can't see how you would connect to the trigger/brake. Could you not run the Y from channel 1 plug the steering servo in and one other and see the servo works? Honest can't see how channel 4 would play any role for what your asking. Unless I'm missing something the signal would have to come from the correct Channel. See what I'm trying to suggest?

Hi, a very good explanation of the Dumborc TX for something that is not easy to decipher from the manual, do you know anything about mixing of channels 1 and 2 in regards to controlling 2 motors? as my understanding of the manual you connect 2 ESC's (and 2 motors) to channels 1 and 2 which will give you differential steering which is fine for a tracked vehicle but I would like the TX to not only control 2 motors but also control a separate servo to control the steering as well! I don't think this is something that the 6 channel Dumborc can do but hoping I'm wrong LOL what are your thoughts on this? thanks in advance.

Rule 1 of RC, every time a new control is used with a receiver, you MUST bind the receiver to the control. The receiver doesn't know that control it's still thinks it's the Tqi control.
