BD...Thoughtful, Reliable, Consistent ,Educational, Informative, Accurate,,, BD Why did you make these videos so entertaining...??? You're a cool cat!

[@BDTennessee]

Thanks Mike!

[@tonywoodproductions]

Duuudddeeeee - that’s brilliant. Now you’ve made me REALLY wanna get brakes for my Tomcat. I’m probably gonna order those JP Hobby brakes now. Great job on these videos!!! See you out at the field.

[@BDTennessee]

Awesome! Thanks my friend,cya soon!

[@ckwlee]

Thanks BD, all ur vids are tremendously informative and totally appreciate it. Keep up the great work. Thumbs up!!!!

[@BDTennessee]

Appreciate the good words Chris!

[@michaelrouser5730]

Good stuff BD. Your videos are always informative and very useful.

[@BDTennessee]

I appreciate it Michael!

[@garyvale8347]

really informative video!!!...I have often thought about how nice it would be to have brakes to help get me stopped when landing a little farther down field than planed...I can envision that in the RC future , wheel brakes will become standard on most tri-gear models...thanks again for showing this great " how to " video.....

[@BDTennessee]

Thanks Gary! Brakes work good for sure! Adds some weight so light weight models may not be as ideal. Cost can be a factor too. However big birds its worth it :)

BD, Excellent video, as are all of your videos. You are a lifesaver on this topic, in particular. There is not much information out there (Internet, forums, publications, etc.) regarding RC aero electric brake systems. Even less, to absolutely NO, comprehensive information on transmitter/receiver programming, not even from the manufacturers. So thank you very much for the great video. Couple points of clarification: I assume that you are using JP brakes with the JP Controller. This controller has resistor pots for adjusting right and left wheel braking pressure providing a straight stop on rollout. As for your tutorial, once again great job! I wanted to point out, specific to my Spektrum NX10, an additional programming step, I discovered, that I found important. I will review and explain in the next three steps. 1. Go to: "System Setup" > "Channel Assign" > "Channel Input Config" screen 2. Set channel eight (8) to "8 Aux3: Ele" as you have instructed. 3. Next step is to is to select the "NEXT" screen (lower right corner of this screen's display). This takes you to the "Rx Port Assignments" screen. Make sure the "8 AUX:" field is set to "Aux 3". Just learning the system but I made this settings mistake and thought I would point it out for consideration. Thanks again Frank...

[@BDTennessee]

JP controller wasnt used.Connected straight to receiver. In the video i didnt mention RX port assignment cause Aux3 is defaulted to Channel 8. Frank, thank you so much for the kind words!

[@harperfw]

@@BDTennessee So right and left electric brake leads are connected directly to Aux3 (Channel 8) with a Y-Harness?

[@BDTennessee]

@@harperfw correct.

[@KenBaum-x7z]

Very Informative. Does it work on the IX14 Transmitter?

[@BDTennessee]

Yes,same process.

[@christophersmythe1093]

very usefull cheers chis in UK

[@BDTennessee]

Thanks Chris in UK!

[@ssaammssuunngg11]

Thanks for the info video BD! Does a Xicoy Brake controller to literally the same with proportional pressure for the brakes? It seems with your setup, there is no need for an additional controller

[@BDTennessee]

Im not sure honestly.I havent used that one...

[@jreshirron]

Have you ever tried to setup a "Parking Brake" function? I'd like my brakes to be active when starting, but need my hands free.

[@BDTennessee]

Setup this way or a switch to flip off with opposite side of throttle. Another option is "I button"

[@michaelrouser5730]

BD, It would be good do a video using the electric brakes.

[@BDTennessee]

I was going to but dont have access to that plane currently.It works very well with this setup :)

[@old-rcplane-phart]

BD: Do YOU have/know how to put SAFE into a NEW reciever? Until the other day, i thot ALL NEW rx's had safe programmed in from factory. Buddy bought an off the shelf ar631. Safe does the 'double dance', but no safe nor as3x.

[@BDTennessee]

You have to go through "first time setup". Until then its a normal receiver. You can follow the AR10360T first time setup tutorial i made.

[@ckwlee]

🤩 Great vid

[@BDTennessee]

Thanks!

[@drmrjon]

What channel on the RX do you plug the brake controller into?

[@BDTennessee]

Any open channel... Channel 7 / Aux 2 or Channel 8 Aux 3 is common...

[@bernardmosconi3313]

I did what this video said but when I toggle switch A it does not move the screen on the mix. I mixed AX3-AX3. The brakes will work as the video said but when I put the first rate to -100 and then offset the same the braking is gone. I am using an NX10.

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

Nice!

[@BDTennessee]

Thanks!

[@MCsRC777]

Hey BD can I ask you to please do a video on how to hook up wireless fpv with the NX 10 and spectrum focal V2 goggles, I follow all the directions in the manual and it still don't work thanks man.

[@BDTennessee]

Id like to but i dont have access to those goggles.

[@MrLew1965]

What type of Electric Brakes are you using sir ?? JP ??

[@BDTennessee]

Yes , JP...

[@MrLew1965]

@@BDTennessee Ok ?? What Controller are you using for this set-up BD ?/

[@BDTennessee]

@@MrLew1965 didnt use a controller.Straight into Rx...

[@MrLew1965]

@@BDTennessee That's the first time I have heard of someone doing this BD ?? So adjusting the EPA you are essentially creating an ABS system ?? This works fine ?? You have tested this ?? No Lock Ups ?? TY for the replies BD !! SUBBED In !!

[@BDTennessee]

@@MrLew1965 i used this same setup on friends Habu 32x that had them. Checkout video on my channel.You will see him slow it down fast without lock up :)
