Easiest Way To Program Castle Systems *remade*

[@JayQuint87]

This video made programming Mamba X for my rock crawler so much easier. I am waiting on the CastleLink to come in mail.

[@ryanjofre]

You mean the b link Bluetooth? I have one on the way. Awesome bring able to keep it hooked up and make changes on the fly without a pc or laptop on our phones!!!!

[@Otiesh]

Great this has so far been the quickest getting started guide to Sidewinder 4. Nice video

[@mikegent2676]

Great video explains how to set esc for any body that's new to rc or experienced keep them going

[@SternLX]

Great video for adjusting the Basic functions in Castle ESC's. However if you want to get into further fine tuning, I highly recommend getting the Castle Link Programmer USB adapter. There are many more adjustable parameters in the software. I run various Mamba's in all my models now because of it. By the way, All new Castle ESC's that are Link compatible come with a Coupon code for a free Castle Link(you pay Shipping) from Castle.

[@billderas3420]

Super job of explaining everything. Thank you very much.

[@felshar3877]

Very good video. I am new to the RC world and this was a big help. Thank you

[@GenesisRC]

Your welcome my friend! Enjoy the hobby

[@CaydenMcook]

Helped a lot, thanks!

[@imando7464]

Quick question I have the b link and set my rakes to 100 and my brakes still don’t work. I have to turn on the drag brake

[@user-dj2xx4ts6d]

Help. How to recalibrate esc? I mean calibrate 2nd time. Pls reply

[@pierrejeanes]

Excuse me sir can this we sone without a controller but with a motor tester???

[@nicholaskuijt2530]

Thanks bro !!!

[@colebradley87]

You fucking rock, thank you so much

[@ryanjofre]

I got a perfect used Mamba max pro for $40shipped! I got a b link Bluetooth for $35 shipped

[@jcallesano]

What if you cannot get into that calibration mode. I've tried this several times and I still can't get into this mode

[@alexanderorel2956]

Thank you. Very helpful!!!!!

[@sparksgarage1114]

Mine isnt making any noise

[@truckingfamily2834]

Video very helpful thanks for taking time to help the ones that need. So I need little more help but first a question- Can It be used for drag racing? If so could you just send me a safe number set-up? Something aggressive not so much to damage motor. I have a 5200mah Zeee 50c 7.4 Or 5000mah Vernon 30c 7.4 Lipo's... Witch battery

[@GenesisRC]

You can use it for drag racing yeah. However, the initial strain on the motor with all the torque needed will generate a lot more heat. Definitely use batteries with higher C rating for this kind of harsh use, so the Zee 5200mah 50C or better. 1:1 2:2 3:1 4:4 (most important setting for your application) 5:1 6:3 7:2 8:1 9:1 I would've responded quicker but youtube didn't notify me of your comment, argh!

[@Gravyspoon]

My mamba x sensored motor is faster in reverse......how do I get it to go that fast in forward?

[@GenesisRC]

Sounds like you have forward/reverse inversed. Here what I would do: (if you want reverse to be slower as intended) Figure out how to invert forward and reverse on your transmitter. It should be in the manual. Next swap any 2 wires going from esc to motor. That should fix it. If you dont care about reverse speed then just increase reverse speed to 100%

[@SternLX]

Set Step 6(Motor Direction) to Option 2 in when programming. That will Reverse motor direction. Set your Transmitter throttle to normal, not reverse and leave your wiring alone. A to A, B to B... etc. You can also set Motor Direction in Castle Link(which I highly recommend).

[@tyesmithiii2793]

Thank you so muck it worked!!!!!

[@everythingyouneedtoknow5793]

Thanks lots of help

[@josett7759]

Can we use any receiver or transmitor

[@GenesisRC]

Yep

[@Trent-xq6mj]

after i program the esc the throttle and reverse are backwards and i dont know how to fix it

[@GenesisRC]

If it's a sensorless system, you can swap two of the three wires going to the motor

[@Trent-xq6mj]

@@GenesisRC ok thank you it worked

[@ka4172]

Basic setting for crawler?

[@derka5581]

what if i have no beeps?

[@spud6365]

Same....

[@Ander-SomFilm]

Boa tarde tenho esc mamba micro pro ele desprogramou só vai para um sentido já tentei calibrar mas não em modo de calibração alguém sabe me dizer se tem outro meio de programar.

[@GenesisRC]

"Good afternoon I have a micro mamba pro it deprogrammed it just goes in one direction I tried to calibrate but not in calibration mode can someone tell me if there is another way to program." You can buy the castle link card from castle. I believe you get a coupon for it for free when you buy a new system. Translated: Você pode comprar o cartão de ligação do castelo no castelo. Acredito que você recebe um cupom gratuitamente quando compra um novo sistema.

[@91TurboSedan]

does this affect the settings if you have to swap the wires to get it to go forward?

[@GenesisRC]

No it does not.

[@bluemachine6238]

How do you adjust the castle bec manually? Thanks

[@GenesisRC]

From what I looked up you can't change the BEC voltage from transmitter programming. You need the castle link to change those settings, which is a shame..

[@ahmadfaris8044]

It's a shame you can't program servo output voltage using the transmitter...

[@mackuuby7173]

If it’s spektrum you can adjust that

[@1991LooseChange]

Awesome. Any recommendations for a transmitter/receiver? I have an Axial Yeti with a Mamba Monster X/HH Puller Pro bl 540 standard 3500kv. What do I need to look for when choosing a Transmitter/receiver? Thanks again?

[@GenesisRC]

The best thing to do is look on forums online to see what people have the best experience with. Based of off others opinions you can pick a combo that best suits you. The only thing that matters past your initial research is how many channels you need to operate your vehicle. That includes the amount of channels on your receiver AND your transmitter. You'll always have Ch1 for your servos that correspond to the wheel, and Ch2 for your ESC connection which corresponds to the throttle. If you just want the rig to work as a moving vehicle, you don't need any additional channels. But if you wanted to operate a dip switch on your transmitter that turned lights on and off on the machine, you need a extra receiver channel, along with a switch on the transmitter.

[@1991LooseChange]

Genesis RC & FPV Thanks man

[@BeMobile414]

I just put in a sidwinder 8th ESC and already the fan isnt spinning. ANy clue why?

[@GenesisRC]

Make sure receiver plug is in correct orientation. Otherwise I'd say the fan is dead

[@BeMobile414]

@@GenesisRC I figured it out actually. I read on a forum that the fan doesnt start spinning until the esc reaches 150 degrees. I ran it up on the stand and after giving it throttle for a little bit the fan clicked on when it got hot

[@GenesisRC]

@@BeMobile414 Ok good to hear its working properly

[@BeMobile414]

@@GenesisRC thanks for the quick response I saw the last posts were from years ago I said oh shit who knows if this guy will ever answer

[@fabiosouza8039]

Perfect!!!

[@acerig4675]

Hay, I have a question. What if the car goes straight to reverse instead of break?

[@GenesisRC]

That'd be setting 1; brake reverse type.

[@acerig4675]

Thanks so much, that's working now. But when I program I get the finishing beap tone's after 6. I pull yes for 6-1 and get the ending tones

[@acerig4675]

I can't get to lipo cut off mode.

[@acerig4675]

Is there a light to indicate lipo or nm

I'm still lost..need help

[@GenesisRC]

What are you having trouble with?

[@brianharris2175]

I have a mamba monster system from 2011 can't seem to follow u, maybe it's me skipping steps or something I'll watch u set up again....I'll pause video a few times..thx for getting back with me
