Hobbywing 1080G2 drag break setup

[Martin trj]

Got one for my trailrunner because of the drag break adjusting from the controller capability but I gotta question. How do you guys program it from the card, is it all the way up or opposite? I connected mine to the 4th channel.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure you want the Drag Brake set to 100% (default) on the ESC. The channel that has the single orange wire from the ESC... you'll use that knob/dial/switch to adjust drag brake force.

Have you tried that CH4 toggle switch to see what happens? I'd try plugging the orange wire into CH6 on the receiver and use the transmitter's CH6 knob to adjust the drag brake force.

I plugged it yesterday but realized, when I got home, that I had plugged it the wrong way. I will try again today or tomorrow.
Thanks

Done! This is pretty cool. You can actually feel the drag break increasing as you turn the knob. I’m using channel 5.

Sweet! Did you try the orange signal wire plugged into CH4? I'm curious to know if the transmitter's CH4 three-way toggle switch puts the drake brake setting at something like Off/50%/100%.

Actually, I plugged it to CH5 so I can really fine tune the drag break, it’s really awesome. I tried it today and I had a blast!
