Help with radio & ESC combo

[bogdi1988]

So I am building the Cybertruck RC car that I recently saw on YouTube: https://www.printables.com/model/700939-rc-cybertruck

The designer did a decent job outlining the parts list etc and I got the whole car built and somewhat wired.
The electronics I have chosen are as follows:
Transmitter: RC6GC v3
Receiver: R7FG
ESC: FLYCOLOR 130A ESC

While the designer called for the 100A ESC, I found the 130A on a decent deal and figured why not overspec it .
The designer did not go through the wiring/ programming of the car. The issue I am running is with reverse.
I found out that the ESC has a reverse signal and does not support reversing on the same input like normal RC cars. I guess that comes with the territory of picking an RC airplane ESC instead of a car one. I was able to figure out that by putting the reverse signal on CH4 and then pressing the CH4 bound button on the transmitter I could trigger the reverse of the car - hold button, squeeze throttle to go "forward" and the car goes in reverse. Is there a way I can set the channel mixing in the transmitter to auto hold CH4 when I push the trigger into reverse (opposite of squeeze).

Sorry for the beginner question.

to have forward instead of reverse... you need to switch any 2 motor wires.this is a 5 cell to 14 cell esc.. to me kinda puzzling...and no bec so you had to add a ubec to get power to rx and esc and servo.

I have zero experience with radiolink radios.can't help.. but if you can mix channel 4 into ch 2 your good then you can for get all what I said above about switching the 2 motor wires

Don't use any aircraft ESC with a surface unit, they don't offer braking capability which is kind of important if you don't want to crash into something or someone

I've got a video here demonstrating some of the mixing capabilities with Radiolink:

So the issue itself is not the channel mixing, but that I only get half of the throttle movement. Center to handle is forward. Center to forward of the RC is nothing - dead. I am trying to figure out how to enable the reverse signal in that part of the throttle.

Let me try to word it differently, do not use an aircraft ESC for surface use, replace it with a surface controller and everything will work as intended

Let him have fun. I've used air in surface models many times ..no issues. just some radio adjusting...mostly in deadband the width had to be increased..
