Punch! How To Change It! What Does It Do?

#Arrma #rccars #rc
I'm back! In this video I show how to change the punch setting on the Spektrum Firma 150 ESC that comes on the new Arrma models. This one just happens to be on my Notorious. I also show what the different punch settings do. I hope this video helps you out!

[@Basherqueen]

That's a very helpful video, you do awesome explanations in very good detail. Thank you so much and happy holidays to you!

Good information. I'm with you...I find a happy medium for punch to save diffs, and drive cups :) The Spektrum program card is worth getting if you have a lot of these systems

[@outsourcedrc]

I'll look into getting on of those. Thanks.

[@3Point_virtuallyrendered]

@@outsourcedrc so much easier to get to the menu when you have the spektrum SPMXCA200 program box. Done this both to my Big Rock V3 and typhon 6s V5

[@DashzRight]

Wonder why they don’t do this by default, with that low punch from stock it is big mistake, it lowers a lot the perception of power and quality of these cars.

[@outsourcedrc]

because the drive train can't handle a higher punch setting. I break diffs all the time on this thing.

[@liquidfluidity8061]

That's interesting at the least. Back in the day, they didn't have all of this available user programming. This punch setting is a nice addition for some as it takes the violence out of the acceleration of an electric - kind of like a stall converter in a hot rod. Nice learning tool for sure. Thanks for the content. I always love watching your channel - new or old vids. Thanks again!

It takes some experimenting between gearing, weight, motor, torque, battery, plus what you want. After 4 years I finally have my favorite basher dialed in. It doesn't end. That's the fun!

[@Custnam]

The firma ESC is a bit different on how you program it than the BLX 185, but once you figure out out its not hard at all. And I like that it has a lot more options you can tweak. Love my Notorious V5!! PS: RPM 81642

[@badermohamed32]

Hey bro it's 100% those backflips standing backflips are ruining your diff I've learned a lot from watching you guys since I haven't even got my notorious yet. You really have to know what are you doing otherwise you just break it the first 2 minutes you get it. And plus it's Chinese product man what do you expect.

[@BullyBreedRC]

Throw on an rpm wing mount and you're set. My v4 is almost all stock mechanically except that and a front bumber. Added the 160a firma on stock blx motor until it gets cooked. Glad you like this one. Seems to have fixed the v4 issues out of the box

[@outsourcedrc]

Yeah this one is better.

[@charlesedinger3063]

Just picked up my notorious v5 today its awesome I've been messing with the settings some and man this car can really handle well for such a short wheel base I was pleasantly surprised always thought I had a big yard till I tried running a 1/8 through it couldn't imagine running a 1/5

[@tonysmith7989]

Get RPM81642 and or warranty so you have spare. They should last longer and be TOUGH, the screws broke on mine too. Just doing wheelies, no backflips either. I fixed with the rpm and took the wing off. It's what catches and twist the wing mount and wheelie bar off.

[@nickrooney6206]

So it seems like punch six is much better than four and punch nine is way too much. I’m gonna get the Kraton 6X and probably put it on the punch six

[@bighossgaminghd8473]

Broke my wing mount and wheelie bar and front bumper off the same day I bought it then broke off a 2nd bumper and bent the rear shock tower on the 2nd time I took it out and on the 3rd day I spent $700 on a list of M2C/hot racing parts along with a new rpm wing mount

I just got into RC and my first one is a purple Vorteks and I am Extremely happy 😍. Thank you for this video I changed the punch setting from level 3 stock to level 4 and what a difference. It does Willie's now with ease and I think it's perfect level, I think 5 might be to much. What do you think should I change the pinion to the other one it comes with and maybe even raise the brake setting also? Please let me know. Thank you

[@outsourcedrc]

I run the stock pinion. It’s quick with that and it’s really fast. I’m not sure about the break. I just run it stock. I really think it needs different tires though

[@MadNessDED]

[@jeffmaxwell8790]

An esc program card is so much easier to use then messing with esc itself its cheap too save the hassle and buy an esc program card. Plus definitely get the rpm wing mounts because you will brake the stock ones again.

I'm not sure. My guess would be that the wheels turning slower lets them get traction. A higher burst probably breaks traction too much?

for max punch you also need batteries with high C rate at least 50

Awesome video. I have a question if you can help - I feel like my notorious v5 has more power in reverse. When I hit the brakes it comes to a very fast & violent stop. When I try to reverse it wheelies in reverse. I've switched the TH/R switch on the transmitter, and now it seems faster going forward and pulls wheelies and less violent in reverse but now the problem is that my throttle/reverse control has been reversed. Any idea how to correct this? Thanks

Do you have the wires reversed? check all your connections. Also, check your settings in the ESC and make sure everything is set up correctly. The manual will tell you how.
