I’ve been playing around with a motor driven tail on a Trex 500 with a spirit pro, can anyone tell me the frequency and pulse settings in the wizard’s servo set up page??

Please specify what is ESC that you are using.
This is the most important thing for motor drives.
The most ESCs are not sufficient for tails, because they can`t handle more than 120Hz or will ignore higher frequencies.

I will be using a HobbyWing 60A platinum v4 ESC in airplane mode with a BrotherHobby Avenger V2 2507 1750 Kv motor , I got the motor detail from
https://grabcad.com/library/500-size-ga ... ron-duct-1 and sized the esc according to motor Kv and using a 6 cell lipo.

You can try to use 120 - 200Hz there.
Pulse is 1520us.
Please dont forget to set Rudder Control Type parameter to Motor in the Advanced - Expert settings.
