Calibrating the Electronic Speed Control (ESC) on your HORIZON Hammer Rey 1/10 4WD Rock Racer ensures optimal performance. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Begin by ensuring your transmitter's throttle channel travel is set to 100% and that the throttle trim is centered.
- Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
- Power on your transmitter.
- Power on the ESC while simultaneously holding down the SET button. Release the SET button when the red LED begins to flash. This indicates that the ESC is in calibration mode. Note: If the green LED is flashing instead, the ESC has entered programming mode. In this case, power off the ESC and repeat this step, ensuring you release the SET button when the red LED flashes.
- With the throttle trigger on your transmitter in the neutral position, press and release the ESC SET button. The red LED should stop flashing, the green LED will flash once, and the motor will emit a single tone, confirming the neutral position has been accepted.
- Move the throttle trigger to the full throttle position and press and release the SET button. The green LED will flash twice, and the motor will produce two tones, confirming the full throttle position is set.
- Finally, move the throttle trigger to the full brake position, and press and release the SET button. The green LED will flash three times, and the motor will produce three tones, indicating the full brake position has been accepted.
- Once calibration is complete, your motor should operate normally.
Important Note: It is crucial to calibrate the ESC each time you power it on, and whenever you replace or change your transmitter or receiver to ensure proper function.
