How to Calibrate ESC with RadioLink RC8X Transmitter?

How to calibrate ESC with RadioLink RC8X Transmitter.
Actually, the ESC calibration has nothing to do with the transmitter. The transmitter just emit an order. The ESC calibration methods are up to the ESC. Different ESC may have different calibration methods. You can check the detailed manual of the ESC for the calibration methods.

Since HobbyWing ESC is popular in the market. We’ll take HobbyWing 10BL60 ESC as an example to show the calibration methods. Here is the switch of the ESC, with a SET key next to it. Connect the ESC to the throttle channel, channel 2 of the receiver. The video is only to show calibration, so the other servos are not connected.

RC8X transmitter is powered on now. (The binding is already complete)
Hold the SET key, and switch on the ESC. We can see Red LED flashes and the motor beeps all the time.
Now the trigger of RC8X is left in the neutral position, then press SET key once. The motor beeps once.
Move the throttle trigger to the end position of forward, hold it and press the SET key. The motor beeps twice.
Then move the throttle trigger to the end position of backward, hold it and press the SET key. The motor beeps three times.
Let go of the trigger. The ESC calibration is complete.
Then you can move the trigger forward or backward to check the movement. If the movement of the car wheels is reversed, you can enter the basic menu--Reverse, set the channel 2 from NOR to REV. Then the movement of the wheel is correct.

There are other HobbyWing ESC that has no SET key. The calibration method is different. For some of hobbywing ESC, After you power on ESC, you may just need to move the trigger to full throttle, full brake and then neutral position, the LED flashes means the ESC calibration is complete.

Here is RadioLink COOL 9030 ESC. It has a switch, but no SET key.
The binding is already complete, and the ESC has been connected to R8FG receiver. Battery is connected too.
Move the trigger to the highest position and hold it. Then switch on ESC. After a long tone, the motor beeps twice.
Then move the trigger to the lowest position and hold it. The motor beeps twice again.
Let go of the trigger, in neutral position. The motor makes a series of beep sound, means the ESC calibration is complete. Then you can move the trigger forward or backward to check the movement.

Note: If the ESC calibration fails when the trigger is at the highest position at first, you can change the order of the throttle position when calibrating. Move the trigger to the other side at first. Keep the trigger in "the lowest position - then the highest position - and finally the neutral position" for calibration.

So we can see there is no need to set ESC calibration in the transmitter. You need to check the detailed manual of the ESC for the calibration methods.
