More Control! How To Program The 1080 ESC In The Redcat Marksman RC Crawler - Holmes Hobbies

[@chrishazim1167]

I own a few of these prog boxes. You can actually make all of your changes and then hit the confirm button. Settings are retained during the program of each item as you go down the list. 2 cents for ya. Great work!

[@frankg3428]

I use solder, I've never used sodder 😉 Cheers for explaining item number 15 on the program card 👍

[@patrikmoller3643]

First proper video I see of the functions in the HW1080 and it comes from another company, you keep impressing med John :)

[@kevinp2820]

You gotta bring back Bob Rocks to do another show! Great info.

[@RubyS.1]

Very handy. I have a few of these esc don't think I ever used the box thing.

[@theirishaxe9405]

Same i have a few kicking around never new you could program them

[@robertrosson5476]

Try using the program box you might be surprised at how much different your rigs respond

[@edsadventures3575]

THANK YOU soooo much!!! Just got the hobby wing 1080esc and wanted to make sure my settings were good. Love the channel!

[@fishnrc294]

Thank you I just programmed my Marksman & taken it out tomorrow.

[@bapasrcadventures3619]

Thanks for you teaching videos. Helps us newbies a lot.

[@keithcerce8445]

THANK YOU. I love knowing why.

[@Aykutreyes]

polarity is not the only thing we can get wrong sometimes when gluing on tires that are directional I'll wind up putting them all in the same direction so left right doesn't match up correctly

It's because your name

[@rkd350z]

that your best shirt! thanks for showing how to program 1080 to ideal setting. I might pick up one soon with crawl mstr sport for gmade buffalo kit I want to build,

[@GeezerGramps]

I took the magnifying glass off my 3rd hand as it was useless. Thanks for the 1080 settings.

[@meirdeaph]

Channel rocks i learn a ton an fun at the same time

[@RTmadnesstoo]

Thanks for going through this since I just installed one. A couple things. I understand that if you have a heat problem you should lower your frequency. Also you need to check your receiver voltage before you turn your BEC up. My receiver will only run up to 6.5V although I have a high voltage servo. Thanks again. After watching you solder plugs on I now just automatically add a red JST(?) plug when I change them. With all the lights, winches, servos, etc. I might start adding two!

[@WillB.6759]

Right on, thanks for programming specs.

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

Your explanation of the settings, pwm and freewheeling especially, are super helpful, thanks. I also like your soldering tips and seeing how u do it.... I have too many rigs and airplanes on Deans to switch over at this point...lol... they haven't caused problems for me, but I have been considering starting the changeover to XT60s and just using them on any new projects until deans fades out of my fleet...? I took the magnifying glass off my helping hands and am close to removing it entirely from my soldering kit...

[@chadlunsford6730]

I've always wondered what the esc programming lingo ment. Thanks dude!

[@ShadeTree_RC]

yup thanks for uploading this a lot of good info here brother

[@slackreviews]

I've heard you should always cover the iron tip with solder especially when putting it away. It supposedly prevents oxidation that causes pitting and tip wear.

[@jaredgreen502]

Thanks for info. I have 2 of these. Now I'll turn freewheeling on thanks to you.

[@rabidbobcat1621]

Sweet bring that rig out too capen let's test it out

[@sammygonzalez7627]

Love watching your videos John, very informative 👍 got my og scout ll with 1080 ESC and Trailmaster Sport 21t and exactly same setup on ESC... works like a charm... Thank you buddy

[@briansrcadventures1316]

Thank you for this video. I recently upgraded the ESC in my cheap and cheerful FTX Mauler to a Hobbywing 1080 ESC. I was a bit unsure about the best settings for crawling, so I'll make a note of the settings you used :-)

[@briansrcadventures1316]

Now rewatching to set the Hobbywing 1080 ESC on my new TRX4 Sport kit.

[@chainsaw7887]

I've run the redcat 25 kg servo on the higher voltage of the 1080 with no failures at all

[@slysplasteringsly1012]

I love your show . .

[@themountain59]

Always very entertaining!

[@markvasseur961]

Thank you John, very informative!

[@T0x1c0v3r]

Thanks for a good step by step guide. Would you recommend the same settings for a gen8 v2 with a stock motor?

[@markhinkle3234]

Can’t wait to see it on the rocks!

[@rcintro1489]

Great info John!

[@slysplasteringsly1012]

Velcro is amazing . Human strength . I struggle with bubble wrap.

[@andymerc190E]

Thank you for finally explaining what some of those settings for the 1080 are. The explanations in the manual aren't the greatest

[@dunlop64]

Have that same servo, been running it at 7.4v for a few years. Mines just not hexfly branded

[@sammyboswelldirtybrc7580]

Forgot to say the little my scx 24 has the 1080 in it kinda heavy but it’s awesome in it crawls slow and Will ride Willys

[@jebrc]

i always spray my solder joints with rubbing alcohol gets rid of any flux residue and cools the joint

[@TheCleaner6969]

This looks like a good esc. Can you run 2 together using a Y harness (red wire pulled on one) each using a 6 cell Ni-MH (as you said lipo only)? Also can you calibrate it using a Futaba 4yf stick Transmitter or does it have to be digital?

[@RCJesus420]

Finally, you've broken down and solder the fast and easy way. lol I always tin the tip, it's so much faster, and as you said, they're cheap. :D

[@ryurc3033]

Like he said time vs. Money....sometimes time wins

[@ninotocka]

What would be the optimal frequency re: startup smoothness and efficiency? Assuming I don't mind the noise. Also, I sometimes use a higher initial startup power. The lowest setting won't spin some motors up initially so it's just wasted trigger travel. Esp with expo dialed in on the radio.

[@HolmesHobbies]

8k is a good all around

[@thepaddychannel]

Thanks for the explanation of the settings, Could these setting be used for any rig, ie TRX4 Sport?

[@ketilwikstrand7847]

Thanx 👌

[@daltongoddard8814]

How did u get the transmitter to pair with the ecs been having issues connecting mine to my redcat everest 10

[@SwampersRC]

I built a 2wd truck with an RC4WD R4 scale transmission, 4:1 gear reduction and a Gool RC 80 turn rebuildable (brushed) motor. I was running it on 3s (brisk walking speed) when I smoked the motor! Should I get a better brand high turn motor or should I get a lower turn motor with that gearing in mind?

[@velko2433]

Quick question - can i use this ESC with brushed motor?

[@robertgoudy9305]

i have one of these but cant get it to work with the redcat rcr 2ce controller . I have tried 3 controllers . Is there not enough controller to pair with this esc ?

[@dirtrider88]

what about heat with the pwm?

[@skidog7440]

If I'm running a Crawlmaster Expert 540 16T and a SHV500V3 servo in a Wraith on 3s would you change anything? Love your products by the way. Awesome stuff!

[@vicferrarisgarage]

What watch are you wearing? I collect watches.

[@sammyboswelldirtybrc7580]

Hi John been watching u for a while and subbed to u have been crawling for about six months now but been rcing for twenty five years or better was wondering what motor u recommend for a good slow crawl and something that still has enough wheel speed to pick them up off the ground my rig is trx4sport I want to add the two speed but haven’t yet I have a mamba x and one or ur crawl master brushed motors running on 4s but I want some speed so what’s the best of both worlds in your opinion and was also wondering if u mite have a motor in the works for scx24 axial love to have one of your motors in my little guy to

[@rabidbobcat1621]

I have a sport with an 1800kv revolver and a sw4 it will pick the tires up on concrete

[@mikej8832]

I checked my list versus his and most of mine already matched.... Lucky guess

[@Jrod_FPV]

Active freewheeling... Crawlers best kept secret for beginners! Turn it on!

[@Jrod_FPV]

Note you should always follow the parameters in the ESC manual, don't rely on the programming card as those settings are likely to be incorrect. ESPECIALLY when mixing brands of program cards and ESC's.

[@slysplasteringsly1012]

Your mind thinks like mine. Not exactly. Maby it's your style. . You rock . No Teril

[@speckledjim_]

Anyone else getting Dennis Raider vibes?

[@tobydyes]

Does not look like has a lot of steering

[@jameshankssr466]

I found a little trick when soldering plugs on! I always plug an empty plug in the other side so if i do over heat it a little it holds the connectors straight so they dont move in the housing from overheating

[@HolmesHobbies]

great tip!
