Radio Calibrate, press and hold MODE. ESC will being to chime after about 3 seconds, it will beep/blink on the center LED, find neutral and go to the far right LED. Pull and hold full throttle, wait for chime. It will then switch to the far left LED, push and hold full brake, wait for chime. You should get a confirmation chime and when you let go the ESC will go to neutral.

To change the neutral width onboard, press the MODE once to enter program mode, then 3 more times. LED should be blinking on the NW setting. Press INCR to enter the NW setting, then keep pressing to adjust the value. The further right you go, the wider the neutral width setting. I would put it so that LEDs 2&3 are lit at the same time and try it there.

Thank you Ty! That fixed the problem!

Edit: Late post but update the ESC of you have not yet.

Calibration is in the manual, its easy and the manual can be found on the rx8 page if you don't have it.

If you don't have hotwire, you need it. Update to the new firmware from like a month ago, its a lot smoother. Neutral width is in hotwire as well. You can probably do it with the buttons but you need the hotwire connector to update anyway so get that asap.

Awesome! Glad that's all it was! And yes as fq06 said, grab yourself a HotWire when you can, it lets you tune in more fine increments but you can do most of the programming onboard the RX8 without needing a laptop.

Can somebody from Tekin explain to me what changed with the throttle handling in the latest firmware? Both the RX8 Gen1 I updated and the Gen2 I have seem more "squishy" than the Gen1 used to, almost as if things are delayed a bit or have a ramp up time. The vehicles/motors haven't changed for the RX8 Gen1 that I saw this with.

I've been using linear throttle profiles on both my radio and the ESC's at all times (both before the firmware update and after). I'm sure I can get used to this, but with the initial change it has made me less consistent with jumping accurate distances (sometimes shorting, sometimes overshooting because I tried to correct what I thought was going to short, etc). Knowing exactly what it is doing different to be "smoother" would likely help me understand how to adjust my throttle finger behavior more quickly.

Where are the team driver esc settings found? Looked on the website and keep getting an error. Looking for RX8/Pro4HD. Thanks

Sorry the other end end bell ty
? Was can sc4x end bell fit on pro 4 It's on now. Getting tested tonite

I seem to remember someone mention a way to clear the data log memory by pushing a button but couldn't find the reference in a search. How do I clear the data log before making a run?

Is there any problem with keeping the hot wire plug in the port while running (assuming I'm not running a fan of course)?

I add them as they come in, it's still a new controller so I'd imagine the Team are still dialing in their setups!

You press and hold INCR to clear the datalog memory and yes you can leave the HotWire adapter plugged into the ESC, I've done it so I can plug in without removing the body.

Tnx! Between narrowing down a setup & the data log, I see the lap top being a fixture on my pit table for the next several weeks!

The throttle was smoothed out. Also the defaults are different so make sure your setup is the same as it was before. Current limiter, throttle min,etc.

What does "smoothed out" mean? Different throttle curve? More steps of resolution? Some sort of maximum rate of change rate added?

It was the culmination of a lot of small changes. In the past we've given out far too much information in the name of clarity. Sorry what we're improving upon in detail will be somewhat guarded and held close to the chest. Hope everyone understands.
