Maclan M32T Pro 160 - Cal issues
 

Hi folks, this is my first of many posts I hope to be making as i get back into the RC hobby. I will try to stick to the specifics and not ramble too much.

Radio/Receiver: Futaba 7PX running in T-FHSS "SR" mode, R334SBS receiver
ESC: Maclan M32T Pro 160
Car: Yokomo MO 2.0

I have been back and forth over email with Maclan (Cameron) on this issue for going on 2 weeks now. We don't seem to be getting anywhere.

I do not have an issue following the cal process for the ESC. The problem is the ESC keeps calibrating neutral to -7%. EVERY TIME. I have attempted recalibrating and collecting log files I would argue at least 30x and am about to call Amain and simply return the Maclan products I purchased and go with Hobbywing (My 1/8 scale setup). I have sent my setup file, log files, photos, even have a video of my cal process. For some reason, even though i recalibrated and verified my 7PX trigger to be dead 0%, the Maclan ESC keeps thinking I am at -7%. The result is I cannot get the neutral (drag) brake to function on the Yokomo. My Kyosho MP9e with an Xerun ESC was super easy to calibrate. Not the Yokomo. I even swapped out receivers, disabled "SR" mode, etc. Problem is not the receiver or the protocol I am using.

I am out of spit with ideas. I have another Maclan ESC coming for my vintage JRxPro SE and am worried I am going to have the same problem. I welcome your advice. Again, I am not dummy with electronics, so I am willing to say human error doesn't seem to be a factor here.

Thanks for your help.

I feel your pain I went through the same thing I eventually went to Hobbywing way easier programming no headaches. I still have a Pico that I use in one of my cars but the hobbywing stuff has just far surpassed them currently in my opinion and has become The Benchmark pretty much

Yeah, tell me about it....I took a chance with Maclan. I am giving them one more chance to make this all right on Monday. Otherwise, everything goes back, and Hobbywing gets added to the cart. I find their stuff is just finicky. even when connecting and setting up....Just too complicated.

I have not had a good experience with maclan. A lot better brands out there.
