King Hauler

[bigpipespete]

Hey guys , just wondering if anyone else has this problem with reverse on their King Hauler. In forward the truck can be started off slow or fast , but when I reverse the truck you better have lots of room cause it is full throttle . I added a dump box from RCP57 so the guy at the hobby store installed an HPI Racing esc and it uses the Futaba 2.4GHz S-fhss system. Otherwise its stock. Any ideas how I can slow it down would be appreciated, thanks.

Get a different ESC or re-calibrate the one you have..

X2. Sounds like you have an ESC setup for racing in a dump truck. You need to reprogram the one you have or buy something really cheap like the $10USD ones that Hobbyking sells. They work great for the truck and dump bed and don't break the bank either.

People think they have to have high end stuff for these trucks, it just creates problems. I too use the $10 dollar hobbyking esc’s . Haven’t toasted one yet. Also make sure your trims are set correctly, I have a habit of bumping mine.

I run old Novak's that nobody in racing or crawling uses any more. Dime a dozen on flea bay and work just fine. As Kent said, check your trims, they are easy to bump.

another option is the hobbywing 1050 esc there 20 bucks and can run lipo both 2 and 3 cell it is what i run in my king hauler on a 2s pack works liek a charm an have two other of these escs in scale trial trucks no issues at all.

Ive got a lot to learn about the electronics in this hobby, if anyone on here is from the Vancouver area or knows of someone that is and doesn't mind teaching , id be happy to speak to you. Thanks
