Dunno how to re-set the ESC with the DXs

 

I've noticed that with the trim button in the neutral position, the motor wont fire up till its reached one of the lines on the gimble. Maybe 5mm ?

I'm wondering If at some stage I have inadvertently adjusted/re-calibrated the sticks somehow.  I can of course bring the throttle down with the trim bit im wondering if ive lost 10 % power as it is. 

Try this - most ESCs are calibrated this way or something very similar.

1. Prop off if inside or secure the model firmly if outside.
2. Tx on
3. Throttle to max
4. Connect battery
5. Wait until beeps cease, then throttle to zero
6. Unplug battery
7. Retest motor to see if it has picked up any RPM

I popped a 4 bladed prop on it. It goes like crazy now. LOL 

Had some great fun with it today flying into wind, with flaps down it was barely moving and landing on a dime

And I just bought a NX6 so that should be here Monday.... now the tough part of choosing the next model

Make sure you check the current draw with a wattmeter - your new prop could add significant load and increase current draw beyond the specs of your motor and esc.
