Hobbywing 1060 esc HELP
« on: January 20, 2022, 06:50:23 pm »

Hobbbywing 1060 esc, help needed in setting up. Sounds daft and should be really simple I know but can only get motor to run in one direction whatever I do, has anyone experience of these?

I think the default setting is forwards only
You will need to consult the instructions to alter the setting options.
Having read the instructions you may need to double tap reverse to get it to go backwards

  Many thanks, have tried that but instructions are a bit cryptic, hoping to find someone who has successfully set this esc up.

I’ve used several of the brushless version without problem. Just read the instructions repeatedly until it makes sense

To set it to forward/reverse is quite simple. Remove the jumber plug from the connectors furthest away from the edge of the esc. These are labelled mode, this position doesn't give the brake so you can go straight from forward to reverse. Make sure the other jumper is correctly set to the battery type you are using, NiMh or LiPo.

The most common reason for 1060s not working properly is using a ratchet throttle rather than a sprung to neutral type. Without a reliable return to neutral, especially with the speed control set to Forward/Brake/Reverse mode, you can usually kiss goodbye to reliable reverse!  In this mode you really need to use a sprung throttle stick, or. get inside the set and file a deeper 'vee' into your toothed ratchet on the inside of the stick. If you are in Fwd/Brk/Rev mode, best take the jumper out and re-set to just Forward/Reverse.
