To me it sounds like the throttle potentiometer is bad in the first transmitter.

Just to clarify, you only mention binding the new radio, did you re-calibrate the ESC to the new radio as well? If not then that's probably your issue.

Very important to have the throttle trim set to zero when calibrating the ESC too.

Good Luck!

Are you sure you didnt flip a switch to reverse the throttle channel on the first transmitter?
0 becomes 100%

Is it the stock DHK ESC? If so, they are extremely finnicky, and prone to issues. Try recalibrating it, and see what happens.

It sounds like he tried another radio and it worked fine but it is the stock radio that is giving him issues.

Sorry guys there is only the one radio. Can you tell me how to calibrate the esc and where should th trim dial be. 12 oclock right

On transmitter the th is not reversed

 

[bill_delong]

Yes, set throttle trim to dead center, if it's just a tick off center then it will never get to zero to calibrate properly

I can't find any instructions for that even in the user manual which is typical with Chinesium brand RCs. If that video doesn't get you there you may want to email DHK and ask them for instructions.

My transmitter is same but my esc is different its a wp-1060-rtr

Thats a brushed Hobby Wing. This is the direct page for it: https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/products/quicrun-10-esc-2-3s-brushed?variant=753399705 There is a link on there for the manual.

Thank you i believe i did it right. I set thr to reverse then put st and th dr to 100 but left the steering trim then power on esc and it beeps 3 times which is for 3s lipo and the car will just sit with no steering and no motor until i hit throttle but i accidently hit the set button on my receiver and i dont know if this is binding or not. can't i unplug the th from esc and bind transmitter and have steering work?

Steering cable is reversed. The signal wire is yellow on the steering cable, and white on the throttle. They should both be inboard on the receiver. So throttle cable is correct.

 

[Greywolf74]

Steering cable is reversed.

THIS! The orange signal wire should be on the other side.

I changed that what i noticed is if i plug steering into th channel it would just sit there with servo trying to constantly go to one side. Its binding and steering works but the th chsnnel is still messed up. Anyone have any other ideas other than replacing receiver and transmitter.

Replace the potentiometer connected to the throttle trigger, but it would probably be cheaper to just buy a new radio system. I had a Flysky radio that had the potentiometer for the steering take a dump once, you would plug in a servo and it would just spin the servo until the servo died.

Jenny's RC is probably going to be your cheapest option to get a low cost radio system if you are in the US https://jennysrc.com/collections/ar...et-spektrum-slt3-3ch-2-4ghz-granite-ara4312v3

Fun fact... RTR stands for "Ready To Replace" electronics

Over the years I have learned to stay away from RTR's and have found it far more cost effective to build a kit and install quality electronics from the start

I am no longer affiliated with PR (used to be a team driver with them) but they are the best quality you can get for the price IMO which would get most people in the same ballpark for a quality setup for about the same overall price they would spend on a RTR + replacement electronics:

I went by the cheap transmitter and receiver, and it works so I may order just an OEM receiver, but it also could be the radio it’s bad

I always said ready to rebuild because the Chinese don't give a flying fudge when they put them together.

I have never hear of that brand before, they look like nice kits. The VB-10 looks like something that I would want, everything else is mid motor and would require shorty lipos.
