Default Re: dump trailer hookup

What do you mean " i activated the flap mix on my radio"? No need to mix this channel with any other channel. Just plug the esc into the Aux1 port in the rx.

What esc are you using for the trl dump?

Pulling the red wire from the esc's rx plug is so you do not add more current to the rx than what the mfu's BEC is already supplying. So being the dump esc is powered separately from the trk, going to a 12v batt to power dump esc is not going to affect your trk's mfu. Is your dump esc capable of 12v? Yes, 12v will make screw motor go faster & give it more torque too.

The speed going up should be the same going down. If it's slower going down, then either your neutral point is not precisely centered, but rather favors towards the lift side. You did go through the correct procedure to program your esc, right? If so, you need to go to servo adjustment, then sub trim to adjust. Or go to travel & up the epa # (-125 or whatever) for down to make screw motor go faster.
