I’ve already got a DX5R for some of my other boats and going to be picking up a sonicwake soon so it’s great to know I’ll have these features. Thanks for another quality video mate. Easily the best and most informative rc boat channel on KZread.

Thanks for this Big B. I just bought a DX5C and a bunch of SR315 receivers so this was really informative 👌 👍

Your gonna love it lots of options. Fast response.

I got the DX5c from your recommendation. Thanks for the info

Very informative video well done sir. Keep up the great work. 💪💪

very good ，，i.m.china dx5 no chinese book ，this very good

Dude, i love you’re vids.. but the correct way to callibrate youre transmitter is by learning the positions in you’re esc. The same way with all other rc vehicles like planes, cars and copters. Just some beeps and no engine turning. Read the manual, page 11😅 just try it! But i’m learning a lot of you. Going to get myself a dx5 for my blackjack and sonicV2. You’re channel is the reason i buy these boats! 🎉

Hmmm. That's odd! Every time I've calibrated my dx5 it's always revved the motor. Well there has been a few exceptions. I'll look into it. Thanks

@@IRONCLADRChats cause you use the transmitter menu settings. But this works without the TX menu. What to do is set the esc in callibration mode (not programming). The esc beeps first for neutral position, then give it full throttle, then is beeps, en then reverse, it beeps. Done.. no rev of the engine. U can even unplug one cable of the engine to be safe. Wait, i copied the text of the manual below: ESC andTransmitter Calibration 1. Begin with the transmitter and receiver binding complete. 2. Set your transmitter’s throttle channel to 100% travel and trim to neutral. 3. Turn on your transmitter and connect a battery to the ESC but don’t power it on. 4. Press and hold the Set button while turning on the ESC. When the red LED begins to flash, release the Set button. The ESC will enter programming mode if the button is pressed for more than three seconds. TIP: The red LED should be fl ashing when the ESC enters calibration mode. If the green LED is fl ashing the ESC is in programming mode. 5. Leave the throttle trigger at the neutral position, then press and release the Set button. The red LED will stop fl ashing, the green LED will fl ash one time and the motor will make a tone to indicate the neutral position has been accepted. 6. Hold the throttle trigger at the full throttle position then press and release the Set button. The green LED will fl ashe twice and the motor will make two tones to indicate the full throttle position has been accepted. 7. Hold the throttle trigger at the full brake position then press and release the Set button. The green LED will fl ash three times and the motor will make three tones to indicate the full brake position has been accepted. The motor will operate normally after calibration is completed.

Thank you very much

love the rpm

So informative, Currently running the Spektrum. FHSS to be able to get waterproof receivers and great range but It looks like I need to get this on all my boats. Are the receivers waterproof How heavy are the smart esc‘s? Do they run plenty of amps?

Yes there water resistant. The spektrum esc's are boss I like them

Does it retain the telemetry if you don't run Spektrum batteries in the boat? I mainly would buy this rugged for the ESC temp alarm feature..

Partial telemetry everything but ⚡️ voltage. Fairly positive

I want to use the DX3 remote with the module. How would I set up the rollout? I know with a car you can count the turns on the pinion as you roll it but with a boat you cannot do that. I know it's a four-pole motor but baffled on what to put in for the rollout for accurate speed.

Does the voltage telemetry only work with spectrum battery's? Going to buy the boat myself but they have a package with other brand lipo's.

Yes, only spectrum smart Battery's

So I just bought the DX5 not the DX5 rugged. So the binding process for my V2 should be about the same correct? And I can buy this to my blackjack 42 as well correct? Thank you in advance

Ne er run the dx5 so I can't speak for the binding process, & yea fairly certain you can bind to the bj42

I use futaba telemetry TX for all my planes cars and boats. Would the spectrum smart ESC work with it,

Not sure. I wish I could help. Spektrum uses Spektrum specific batteries and transmitter for telemetry

I just looked at the link, the receiver is not waterproof. Not very SMART for a boat 😁 I wonder if it could be filled with epoxy Now I’m wondering if the ESC is waterproof

I use corrosion X on all of my receivers water proof or not.

I’m sorry but what do you mean by over discharge the battery’s does the esc not have lipo cut off or are you just one of those guys that doesn’t like hitting lipo cut off?

Do you need to use spektrum smart batteries for battery telemetry to work? Specifically I’m just interested in total pack voltage?

@IRONCLADRC

Yes, anything dealing with voltage you must use spectrum battery's. You'll get rpm and other odd & end readouts with a regular lipo pack.

If your are using batteries other then Spektrum smart batteries, you will get just battery pack volts, if you have the SPMA9570A pack voltage senor. It is a two wire sensor . Solder it into the the main positive and negative battery leads at the Battery side of the ESC and then plug it into your SR6100RT receiver at the voltage port. Works great.

I can see pack voltage by going under Smart ESC under telemetry and setting voltage and tone. Nothing else needed to use this on the Rugged.

Dude! Do you or would you see a pimped out model?? Please

What screen shows the speed? Or do I need to get the dx5 pro for that?

@IRONCLADRC

Жыл бұрын

You'll need to use spektrum lipos and firma speed controls to get speed. You'll need to program the roll out in the dx5 to get a round about speed reading. IMO I'd go with the pro for speed read outs.

Can I get that remote and it’ll give me all the telemetry with my blackjack 42 also?
