Spudski RC How To: Tamiya TBLE02 ESC Wiring and Calibration

[@liondoctor47]

Thank you for this. It seems like nearly every “Tamiya complete build” video skips all of this, and I for one needed this exact explanation. Great job, thank you!

Video was very helpful. Thank you..... I haven't had an RC car been over 30 years.... A lot has changed

[@schuttrostig5729]

Verry good video. I always forget how to setup and this video explains the important settings. Now when comes the advanced tutorial: - change the voltage cutoff to a higher, lipo correct value - modify the circutes to run the servo at full voltage (HV servo) - use two speedcontrolers on channel 2 and 3 (for whatever reason)

[@mark-1rc502]

Hello Thank you so much for this demonstration. I noticed my RC car does not have drag brakes. It goes backward if i release the throttle while going uphill (neutral maybe?). Any idea how I can engage drag brake with this ESC if at all possible?

[@spudskirc4458]

Hi, you’re welcome. The esc doesn’t have a drag brake feature unfortunately.

[@SonnetGomes]

@@spudskirc4458 Oh no...such a shame. It has advanced feature EV features like sensored brushless motors, yet it can't stay steady on a hill. I have to invest in couple of Quickrun 1060s. Thank you for this video though.

Yes you can use an alternate ESC. Hobbywing 1060 is a good choice if running brushed motors.

Hi, I’ve done a hot build and have a stick receiver. The car goes faster when going forward than reverse as expected. But the I need to pull the stick towards me to go and forward to break. Opposite as expected. Would the end point set fix this do you think?

maybe you can try to reverse the throttle channel setting on transmitter?

Great video, Can you run 2s lipo on this ESC ? As I want to start running lipo battery on my Blackfoot

[@spudskirc4458]

Thanks. It isn’t recommended to run lipo as it doesn’t have a low voltage cut off so could risk damaging the battery. If you went and did it anyway use a separate lipo alarm to keep an eye on the voltage.

Can you help me troubleshoot my esc, Rx is bound, servo working set in channel 1, esc in channel two, no throttle at all, flashing green light and alarm beep when motor connected? Any ideas? Does flashing green mean it’s nit connected to receiver? But servo steering is? My brain hurts

[@spudskirc4458]

Is it a brushed motor? Which wires have you got it plugged into? Also have you tested channel 2 is working ok with a servo?

[@joreldoherty4772]

@@spudskirc4458 yeah brushed motor, tested motor it’s fine, haven’t plugged servo into channel 2, I’ll try this and see what I get, I assume it’s not intelligent and the servo will then just operate from the throttle control.

[@joreldoherty4772]

@@spudskirc4458 So, I think channel 2 is defective, when the throttle is plugged into channel one, the green light and alarm drops away and I had forward throttle, but with servo in channel two I had no steering, as soon as I plugged throttle into channel two, green flashing and alarm again which means it’s not picking up the receiver. This is annoying as it’s all brand new kit. It has been 25 years since I’ve built an RC though so I figured it must be something stupid, unless my radio controller channel two is defective but I doubt it?

How do you find the Core 21 brushed motor? Looking for a fast motor than my torque tune one.

[@spudskirc4458]

They are good motors for the price but the standard ESC has a 25T motor limit for brushed motors so you would need to change the ESC if using a 21T. I would recommend a Hobbywing 1060 for value and quality.
