How to use the Spektrum smart programmer.

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

Big thanks, straight foward and to the point!

[@RoostedFilms]

Just ordered my programing card today. Well done video. Good info delivered with no BS 👍🏻 thanks

[@Hobby365]

You are welcome I am so happy to help.

[@jeremyhall7724]

As long as I had this I never got it till now thx so much ! 😊😊😊

[@Baldheadnut]

I noticed you have a 160 amp ESC with the factory ESC will the card show which parameter you’re on as well?

[@mikeharris7885]

How do you use the spectrum smart programmer to change from lipo to NiMH batteries that is disable the lipo voltage cut off. thanks

[@mikeharris7885]

I wish I knew!

[@owen8538]

Can you adjust voltage cut off

[@roadrash76]

Thank you for this instructional video.

[@Hobby365]

You are so welcome.

[@davidzizelman2061]

Looking for help. Recently upgraded a typhon mega to brushless. Spektrum 3300kv motor/esc. I had to switch 2 wires because forward and reverse were switched on the controller(instructions said to do this). I only run on 2s(gen ace bashing battery) at 75% for my kids. We get about 5 mins run time and it shuts off as if it overheated. Turn it off then back on and run it for another 5 mins. Fans on esc not motor and neither feel hot. Does it in cool weather also. I was told that this programmer can help but watching the video I’m not sure how it would? Any help would be appreciated. I also have the stock controller and don’t want to upgrade.

[@DEENRC]

Will this work for my capra....?

[@yevsnyder5387]

How do I set the battery voltage cut off I don't see that part please help

[@youtubiano2008]

Gracias por el video, muy explicativo, me ha servido mucho, saludos

[@carlosrubio7455]

No consigo que me dé opción de bajar el voltaje de corte de batería . Es la opción 3 de la tarjeta pero no aparece. Gracias

[@bra1nc417d]

So this will only work with SMART ESCs?

Hi i cant change my punch level setting ...WHY?

[@jeremyrobinette5651]

Great video! Thanks a lot

[@LegendsPizzaCo]

Dumb question but does the programmer come with the cable we need?

Yes

here you go I got a video up for you! Thank you for the suggestion!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bl69d6yQoLdod6M

[@fredE3.5]

Do I need to buy this if I'm getting the spektrum dx5c transmitter? I want to go all smart on my trx4sport! So I'm preordering the new crawler system from them.

[@Hobby365]

The only reason you would need this is if you where programing a smart ESC. A transmitter will not require it.

[@fredE3.5]

@@Hobby365 Thnx appreciate the feedbacks! Still learning new to the hobby! With that being said. One more question if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking into buying the new spektrum crawler system. I'm gonna need to buy this then right?

@@fredE3.5 You will defiantly want it. It makes your programing life so much easier.

[@shaunescarlett.1]

Will this work with the Spektrum 8s ESC ?

[@Hobby365]

I believe you need the V2 programmer for the 8s esc.

Yes you can.

Excellent, I’m a beginner and you really helped me. Thank you

[@Hobby365]

I am so happy I was able to help you.

[@lemugidk8413]

Why did they Remove the low voltage adjustment from the card?

[@Hobby365]

I am under the assumption that was done to reduce the likelihood of a setup error that would ruin batteries.

[@lemugidk8413]

@@Hobby365 oh thank you cause i see everyone having that option

[@yana2008100]

@@lemugidk8413 I have the same question, in the manual of the esc it says you can change it. but in the online specs it does not???

[@marksmola7299]

What is the part number for the connector between the programmer and esc? Thank you

[@Hobby365]

It is a male to male extension some times known as a patch cable. Horizon has a couple including EFLG613 and SPMA3043

[@marksmola7299]

@@Hobby365 thank you

[@georgevu200]

Does the programmer do AVC setting?

[@Hobby365]

No the AVC is part of the Receiver not part of the ESC. I do have a video that goes over the set up for the AVC if you need some additional Help, kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3y4qpJsZs6nhZI

[@ilovejesus973]

Great video , I have one haven’t used it yet.👍👍👍💯💯💯

[@Hobby365]

I hope I have given you the courage to try it.

[@jcallesano]

Why does it skip some parameters? Mine skips #3 LVC cutoff

[@jcallesano]

So what's the point of the manual for the esc is the programming shows the different parameters as different #s than the manual. Super confusing. I can adjust timing from the controller, but can't get to the same menu option if using esc to program manually. Starting to dislike firma/spektrum stuff.

[@Hobby365]

I wish I had answers for you as to the trouble you are having. I don't know why you cant adjust the LVC.

[@gravediggerrc]

HELLO THERE HOW COME DOES SHOW DRAG BRAKE SETTINGS ????

[@Hobby365]

I am not sure I fully understand your question. I assume your programing card doesn't show drag brake as an adjustable parameter? What ESC are you using?

[@malekrcgaming2432]

I have the same programming card,mine won't connect to ESC I have everything connected correctly just stays stuck at Connecting ESC screen

[@Hobby365]

Try double checking the direction you have the cable plugged into. It is very easy to get it backwards.

[@HardScopeHardie]

My programmer is stuck on connecting esc...

[@TrialsOfOne]

Just picked one of these up. I hook it up and it click to start and it just reads connecting to esc

[@Hobby365]

Double check to make sure you don't have the wires plugged in backward.

@@Hobby365 Also don't plug into the Y harness, plug direct to esc,

[@carlr1883]

Hi will this work with the castle mamba 8s xl esc?

[@Hobby365]

No, sadly it wont. You will need a castle link or a castle Bluetooth link. Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXvTYmqBbstsjM0 The process is the same on all the castle esc's

Pretty sure the exhaust pipes are to be mounted under the hood poking threw. Kinda like the blower is.

[@Hobby365]

Those pipes are mounted to the hood in the same way the turbos are in fact they use the same holes! I designed these in 3d and ran them on my 3d printer.

[@oki_m135i]

Save money and just modify settings by holding the set button :) I have the felony and Losi SBR 2.0 and you do not need these cards to make adjustments.

[@Hobby365]

Very true and this is the way I had done it leading up to this video. I had a request to make a video on the program card and after using it I found it is more intuitive than the manual for beginners.

[@oki_m135i]

@@Hobby365 ahh okay, got you :) I just wish my Tamiya could do the same 😂😂

[@H0DAG_ttv]

i have one for the sbr 2.0 because my hands arent small enough to get to the pwr/program button for setting my esc up.

[@kevinchambers4219]

Mine tells me to update the software. I use the PC program and make sure I have the latest version and it does. I try again and it says the same thing every time. Spectrum tech support tried to help me, but they couldn't say why it wasn't working either. I tried two different ones in two different Spectrum Firma Smart ECS from a Typhon 6S V5 and the Kraton 6S V5. No dice....I have an expensive voltage reader now....

[@Hobby365]

It is hard to say what the issue is as I have never experienced that error.

They have two programs card now

[@v.e.7236]

Using the app, via the included USB cable, is much more user-friendly. The programmer isn't terribly intuitive, IMO. I ordered the Dashboard app, w/ BT2000 module and cellphone holder, which displays all the info on the RC systems, like RPM, MPH, current, voltage, motor temp plus you get access to all of the trim menus, eliminating the "hold steering wheel to full right, while holding the throttle . . . yada, yada."

[@Hobby365]

I haven't used any of the app stuff. I will look into it.

[@javii5326]

Do you have any problem contacting the app to the module?

[@v.e.7236]

@@javii5326 Yes. If you don't have your cell phone in the provided carrier, the bluetooth signal isn't strong enough to connect. Once you've successfully paired, it should re-connect when you open the app.

[@GovG33k]

I have the same thing. Unfortunately the Android app is terrible and constantly drops connection (read the app reviews), or the app crashes on my OnePlus7Pro. The iPhone works much better, and doesn't drop as often, though the screen rotating at the slightest tilt is mildly annoying. In fact, when going into settings menu in the app the screen immediately flips over and stays and I end up holding my controller backwards.

[@v.e.7236]

@@GovG33k Agreed, the Bluetooth connection is tenuous, at best. My comment was pre-mature, as I had only used the app once. Subsequent attempts have been seriously problamatic.
