Not very sure , but it's atleast 60 kmph
@devangflyer
Easy to estimate.
Standard conversion is 30mph=44fps=48kmph
So if it is going over 60kmph, it must be covering about 55ft every second...

Thanks sir , I'm taking it to a proper track on Sunday , i will try it there .

What tx are you using? Please explain how you would setup reverse if at all the ESC supported, with a normal tx, not those ground transmitter. My nephew wants help on converting a Maisto static model to RC. Thanks in advance...

I'm using a Futaba t8FG Super , it is actually used for planes and helis . A ground remote usually has a spring attached to the throttle stick to keep it in the middle and so if you want to use a reverse esc , just keep the stick in the middle or add a spring there .

This must be a very basic question for a car guy but, how do we setup a normal plane/heli tx to use a brushed ESC with reverse function? Any help? Yes, I ve seen some toy cars where the throttle stick is in centre for neutral, back for reverse and front for normal drive but here, we are talking about mode1/2 style transmitters... Anyway we can achieve this, or there's no way? Thanks.

devangflyer

There's nothing different , you do everything same as you would do in a plane & heli

Mode doesn't effect anything only throttle would be on right side in mode 1

intorc

But throttle is 0 or 100 right? How to go reverse is my question...

devangflyer

You calibrate the esc with the stick in the middle , so the esc takes  50 as 0 and 0 as -50

intorc

I will be great if that works. Thanks... By the way, nice mod of the car. Post more vids...

Put the car ESC plug on the elevator channel, which is already centered and calibrate it to those stick limits. Use the rudder/aileron channel for steering.

That should work too. I bought a used brushed ESC with with reverse from one of the forum member but the throttle wont at all, however, BEC seems to work because a servo connected for steering works fine. Nothing on the board seems to be burnt. Devang I apologise for hijacking your thread, I was unsure if I should start a new topic.

you do not need to post an apology sir , the main aim of every single thread of this forum is to help each other .
