Transmitter control options
Ok so i got the dump working great.
I have a 6 channel tx/rx and want to control the up/down from it. When I attach the dump motor to any channel it only works in one direction and then have to swap black for red for it to work in opposite direction. I tried using white from rx but does nothing. Tried various combos and doesn't work. dump motor is standard 2 wire red/black. rx standard red/black/white. I know it's something simple, but I am losing it. Definitely due to the nut house.

Re: Transmitter control options
What esc are you using??
You do know you need a second esc to control the Dump motor Last edited by bigford; 08-31-2016 at 02:58 PM. |

Re: Transmitter control options
Nope that was the part that was missing. I had no instructions with this. I have been reading and Reg just emailed me.
Just not sure how to set up with second esc? off of same transmitter? |

Re: Transmitter control options
Unplug the red wire off the dump motor esc then plug the esc into a spare channel on the rx. Then you need to splice the power leads together. My dump trailer set up runs 3 esc this way. 1truck) 2dump) 3tarp)

Re: Transmitter control options
I use a dx9 with a right dial knob that I use to raise and
Lower the box and a 3 way toggle for the tarp |

Re: Transmitter control options
uggh. ok so i did the following.
1. connected esc lead to ch6. removed red wire. leaving white/black in correct alignment. 2. cut of tamiya battery plug and spliced the red/black together. 3. made sure switch is in on position. 4. attached esc out leads orange/blue to dump motor. result: nothing. yes turned tx on and truck on. Second ESC shows red power light on but when i move dial it dims and brightens. no dump motor power at all. |

2. cut of tamiya battery plug and spliced the red/black together.
Hopefully you spliced red to red and black to black not red to black. |
