I just calibrated mine to my radio. Held set, turned on. Release the set button as soon as you see the red lights. If you don't release it soon enough, it goes into programming mode. Leave the throttle in Neutral, hit set, you get 1 beep. Hold full forward, hit set, get 2 beeps. Hold full reverse, hit set, get 3 beeps. That's it. I had to try 3 times before I got it. I held Set for too long the first 2 times.

Yea, been trying that and that worked on the original set-up, now red lights are flashing and motor is twitching and does nothing when you hit the set button again.

Have you tried to recalibrate again?

Also wondering if the batteries in my radio are a little low? Radio isn't beeping at me yet but may be low enough to effect something???

Solara: Any news on a new 1/8 ESC? are we looking to have something for this spring / summer season or later? Same question on a true 1/8 motor?

any help would be awesome !

First thing...

Is that the ESC fan I hear? I can't really tell on my smartphone. If the answer is "YES" then it needs to be unplugged when doing any programming.

Also I noticed when you say you're going to calibrate you start by going full throttle and pressing the button. The proper step is to set neutral first by pressing the button while the radio is in neutral. Then you move on to full throttle and brakes.

Also what servo are you using? I know in the past people have posted and I have seen strange issues with Spektrum RX and servo combinations. I believe using a RX capacitor solved those. Spektrum makes their own RX capacitor exactly for this reason.

Its hard to know when to press the button for programing when I cant here any beeps, I am using a airtronics servo, I will try unplugging the fan again but it never made a difference when I tired it before...I also can try a airtronics raido if they really dont work with spectrum.

ok new video with the fan unplugged and trying to calibrate again with a cap on the reciever so there is no brown out issues

hopefully someone has the answer to this question.

i was told that the cool sound from the orion speed controllers on braking,is from the multiple caps on them.

if this is true,i see the carbon pro has the multiple cap pack on it.

does the carbon pro make this sound?

and does the extra caps,provide for better braking?

Just checking...

Does the battery have a decent charge? I want to eliminate low voltage protection.

When you are in "calibrating mode" there should be a blinking amber light next to the red one as you move through each step. In your video I cannot see that. Is the button on the ESC switch being depressed fully?

I am not familiar with Speed Passion ESC/capacitors making any "sound". The capacitors allow ESCs to run a little cooler and also filter out voltage spikes. A cooler ESC will have better functioning brakes.

From looking at many of our team driver setups, many use the included capacitor on their Reventons. Adding the option 4 row capacitor is exactly that, an option.

High ambient temperatures, low turn modified motors, and other variables come into play.

the caps make no noise. i know what you are talking about. i think its mainly the motor that makes that noise not the esc.

Yea its a good battery, and the lights are not lighting up like they should, and the motor is not making any noise.

I adjusted my neutral point from 6% to 9% at practice yesterday and recalibrated the radio to the esc. I had no problems all night with reverse or brakes.

Is there a way to change from Stock "blink" to Mod2 without the programmer of having to connect it to my laptop?

No...
