Thanks for the summary. I have pinned it.

Thank you! I ordered a Fusion SE to put in my Sendero SE. As have multiple 1080 program cards, I didn’t order a program card for the SE. I was under the impression, Hobbywing included a decal to apply to tihe 1080 program card? Well no decal was provided, so your video was exactly what I needed to get it up and running. Thanks again! 👍🏼

[@BigSungHobbies]

Ahh that must be the cost cutting on Fusion SE. I know that the more expensive Fusion Pro includes them. Additionally if you look for the manual, they should include include the information as well.

[@dezfan]

@@BigSungHobbies manuals? What’s that? 🤣. Thanks again. Keep up the great work.👍🏼

[@BigSungHobbies]

Hehe! Thanks and happy RC'ing.

[@RCPropaganda]

I always liked the easy programming from hobbywing.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yes, they definitely make it easy especially on 1080 and Fusion, plus they include the programming card in the package.

[@PhilBrindley]

Nice work! Really clear and well explained. Happy trails. 🤙

[@BigSungHobbies]

Thanks! 👍

[@lees9068]

Great video, very informative, I'm new to all of this electronical stuff,does this process come before or after binding a flysky gt5 with truck. And if rebinding is needed for whatever reason do you need to reprogram setting's again?

[@BigSungHobbies]

They are two separate actions, ESC vs. Receiver. That being said, if it was up to me, I would bind the receiver to the gt5 transmitter first. Then program the ESC. Good luck.

[@lees9068]

Thx for responding, I definitely need all the help I can get!!

[@brianonthego]

Thanks so much. Trying to get more to my steering servo.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Thanks 🙏

[@harry7726]

I use 1 steering servo and 3 micro servos. The steering servo is a high voltage servo. What is your suggestion for item number 6 (BEC VOLTAGE)?.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Most micro servos are capable upto 6.0v, so there is really no option than to just go with 6.0v, unless you have micro servos that can handle 7.4v. For my setup where I also use high voltage steering servo, I set it up as direct powered, but on BEC Voltage, I select the 6.0v.

[@pedellbills130]

Great work!!!!

[@BigSungHobbies]

Thanks 🙏

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Great video and information on how to program.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Thanks for watching!

[@zacf85]

Does the program card for a HW1080 work in a Fusion Pro?

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yes, it does. The program card is all the same. The only difference is the sticker attached to the program card. Fusion Pro comes with a sticker that you can use...that's what I did with mine.

[@zacf85]

@@BigSungHobbies thank you!

[@BigSungHobbies]

You are welcome.

[@catchingthecasp]

Ty for this

[@BigSungHobbies]

Thank you for looking at the video!

[@elbutchos]

So this is a question about the HW Fusion 1800. I have a strange issue; not sure if issue or feature but here goes. So I set the drag braks ( setting 7 ) to the max 9. It seems though that anything I set on Drag Brake Rate ( setting 8 ) has no effect .. or only partial. Even set to 1 if I shortly blip the throttle, instantly as I let go the wheels lock up again. Only if I full throttle it for about a second and let go it will slow down gradually to a stop. Again ... only with throttle blips ... it immediately locks up as soon as I let go. As a comparison I also have a AXE 550 R2 and that behaves much smoother while braking even if I only blip the throttle. Can you confirm this behaviour on the Fusion system ?

[@BigSungHobbies]

I am not sure exactly, but I found that having drag brake too strong didn't work too well, so I set mine to more moderate drag brake, and that provided enough drag brake for crawling. Might want to try changing that first and see.

[@lifethroughalens2000]

Did they discontinue the 1200 fusion pro and 1800kv?

[@BigSungHobbies]

They have discontinued the Fusion 1200kv. The 1800kv version is being sold SE version (a bit simplified version, but a much lower cost). And they have added the 2300kv version sold as Fusion Pro.

[@brianonthego]

Do you recommend 1800 or 1200? Ever fit one in a Capra?

[@BigSungHobbies]

Personally I prefer the 1800kv, but I am not sure if it will fit in Capra unless you mod the skid/tray. It might be a bit too long, but I haven't tried it on Capra, so not sure.

[@brianonthego]

@@BigSungHobbies thank you. I ordered the 1800 for my scx10 ii. I guess with the Vader skid, it will fit in the capra.

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yes, with Vader skid, it should fit...I haven't tested, but I have seen few folks that made it work.

[@P_double_H]

Only order the 1200 if you are going to do rock crawling only. The 1200 packs a lot of power but the speed is very slow to bash around.

[@DanP100]

Thank you. 👍

[@BigSungHobbies]

You are welcome!

[@818sfastestrc]

Great video! Don’t forget to calibrate

[@BigSungHobbies]

Good call!

[@lees9068]

I'm new to this stuff, how do you calibrate it?

[@rccrazy7495]

Just bought the Quickrun fusion SE... CANNOT get motor to reverse rotation.. The video was no help..

[@BigSungHobbies]

Setting 5 lets you choose motor rotation on Quicrun Fusion SE, option 1 CCW & option 2 CW. You can download the manual here: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0109/9702/files/Manual_HW-SMC319DUL_QUICRUN_Fusion_SE_20220722.pdf?v=1669157586

[@glennjthompson332]

Wow!!! this is too-easy for progam set-up. (B+)

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yes, you are right.

[@Mr.Titanium1911]

Now in 2300kv 👌

[@BigSungHobbies]

Yes, can't wait to get hold of one at some point.
