The reverse function can be used with other brand of Tx and Rx's ?

So, How do you do it again?? Since you did not tell us any thing about setting it up just look at how cool we look.

I've tried it on my conscendo advanced, and it's great for dumping energy and shortening the approach, especially if you can't use spoilerons/flaperons. The catch is you have to let the motor stop completely, then throttle up in reverse, otherwise it makes an awful grinding sound. I think it's specific to the motor.

I like that idea for an EDF jet!

Me too

I would like to see this on the F18 Blue Angels rc jet, if it is possible. Plus is it only compatible with Spektrum?

Will a smart ESC work a AR636a or do you have to have a smart receiver to get reverse.

Did you have to carve any foam out or leave off the plastic vent cover that sits over the Viper's ESC? I've considered installing the SMART 80A ESC in the F-16 and Viper for longer flight times based on actual battery voltage, but am concerned about the space. The SMART ESCs look to be about twice the thickness of the stock ESCs while the stock ESCs already look pretty snug. I'm not used to doing foam mods and don't want to do anything to harm the air frames.

Coolest thing ever!

Wow that cool.

can a hobbywing brushless esc used for my rc car be used with the brushless motors found in these rc planes ? thanks

I love the reverse trust!!, I use it on my A320!!!

Can you do reverse thrust on the new turbo timber evo with a Dx6 if you as3x bind only? Like on the gear switch?

Hi guys. Would this work on the e flite A10? I use an old WW2 runway and it’s short. It would be a deciding factor. I use a DX8 gen 2 transmitter. Does the A10 have the smart ESC? Thanks, Ant

Ok how can I get this in my su-30 twin 70mm please tell me there is away because other wise ill have to get breaks

I got the 50mm Habu and can't get reverse to work with my DX7 the transmitter witch is up to date please help

is it possible to use reverse thrust with another receiver than a smart recieiver. I use Graupner Hott.

I purchased turbo timber evolution pnp installed spectrum ar620 cant get reverse is it because of receiver?

Sweet can wait to do some real quick landings 😆

If it were possible I would use it to slow down my Dynam ME262 when landing. Plane has no flaps, no brakes, lands fast.

Will this update work on the DX9 black? I know it will work on the ESC. Dose the DX9 get an update?

Haha, that’s kool guys I just ordered two of the 80amp Brushless Avian Spektrum ESC for my 1.2m T-28 Trojan and P-47 Razor Back and was wondering would it be an issue with connecting any of the Connector or Lead wires to the motor receiver or batteries?

Does the normal viper esc habe the opertunety too reverse?

So if I have a (gen1) dx8 from 2008. I can NOT use the reverse?

Is it only for nx radio, I have an Ix 12

Clarification on updating esc firmware, do you have to use the stand alone esc programmer first to get it to the version that allows the transmitter to do it?

Keith, the newest batch of ESC's in our warehouse will start shipping with this firmware. However, any pre-existing ESC's will in fact need the update (which requires the programmer).

Which you had a130 amp one to slow my 90mm edf’s

Ive Updated my receiver, esc and radio and i still get no option for reverse in esc settings. The firmware list for the 80amp does not even come up as an update???? Im using an IX12, 637t, and avian 80amp esc

The APP from the store give a V1.0.3 need update to V1.0,7 you would think they would do it before telling there customers.

Also can u do full span ailerons and reverse power with the nx6 at the same time it would complete my life to the max

Kyle...I'm intrigued by your Turbo Timber with the Smart logo on the side. Specifically, what tires did you put on it and did you upgrade the motor/ESC to get that incredible takeoff performance. Thanks

I finally peaked someone's interest! Those wheels/tires are from the Carbon-Z Cub SS, but I did have to modify the struts and axles to accommodate the larger dimensions. The ESC is a Spektrum Smart 60 Avian ESC, motor is stock, but the propeller is the Timber-X two-blade prop (which made most of the difference).

How hard is it on the actual motors?

I'd like to use this on the ec1500. Already build it and didn't realize I couldn't..

I will try that for my rescue airboat .

Well, nice... But how about a firmware update to unlock used capacity telemetry readout with non smart batteries? For me, this is the main reason to buy a telemetry-ESC. I would love to buy more avian ESCs but if they won‘t read out the used capacity, then they are pretty much useless because that’s the most important thing to know via telemetry.

Twin Otters. Can it be used with reversed? It will be perfect for float flying.

No, just because smart ESC's don't really work with a twin setup. If the stock ESC's are Y harnessed together, you could split the two leads over multiple channels for differential thrust, which would also be useful on the water.

I would like to see what'd happen in the air if the reverse switch were accidently thrown. Maybe show us both a prop job and a jet at full speed being thrown into reverse? Thanks.

It gets a bit weird. It terrible disrupts the airflow over both the airframe. There really aren't any benefits/positive outcomes as a result of doing it...

@@horizonhobby Thanks for the reply. I'd still like to see what happens even though what happens might vary greatly from one to another.I imagine the planes attitude and perhaps even wind conditions could very well vary results.

i tried to do it on one of my planes using a avain 45 amp and its not working, when i flipped my 7th channel on my DX8 it wouldn't switch motor direction . besides telling it what channel you want the switch on is there another spot to enable the motor reversing? Thanks

You need to change the "brake" setting to reverse (in the ESC). Also, make sure you assign a channel to Reverse WITHIN the ESC as well.

One of the best uses is when using floats.
