KO Guys:
Any chance of some support !?
I have a ESC giving up less than 2 minutes into a regional Final and if theres something that you know which might be able to help, ie the power caps blown, shotki is kaput, then it'd be nice to actually have some help with the matter!
Having seen posts on here from you, i figured if there was an issue it'd be resolved pretty quickly, not just ignored for 4 days as if it isnt there.
Ive seen replies in the Helios area, and figured you'd get to here eventually. I saw the reply in here a few hours ago, and figured rather than jump to conclusions, give you chance to reply to my post incase you were doing that first, instead it seems like a knackered VFS-1 is acceptable?
Highly doubt thats the attitude taken, but ignoring my problem doesnt seem all that optimistic of anything asside from that does it!
'Its ok, he has 2, were alright lads'
come on, Giz some help ey! otherwise its back to inferior speed controllers where crazy priced shotki diodes arent required to be placed onto the motor each time you want to swap em over.
Surely some help isnt too much to ask for!

He guys just another question on vfs-1
I loaded the 19T high speed setting from the Ko site into my VFS-1. Problem now is that when I go to neutral on the transmitter (ex1 R) I don't have any breaking what so ever. And I like driving with some breaking in Neutral throttle.
Can I set breaking effect in Neutral throttle with Nutralbrake or Breakfreq settings?
What is the difference?

At this moment, I don't know. Last time the VFS-2000 with the carbon fiber looking case was a limited edition.

Don't you think that you should be email KO directly if it was such a big issue?? I try to help people on this chat forum when I can. This is not part of my job. Don't want to sound rude, but hey come on this is a chat forum not a service request forum.
Soldering the shotki on backwards damaged it. It's done and will need to be replaced. You may have also damaged the transistor and/or brake FETs. So you will have to send it in for repairs to your local KO repair center. I think the closest to you would be Helgar Racing in the UK.

Setting the neutral brake to 100 is equivalent to 50% of your brakes on. Yes the 19T motors do have less drag due to having bearings rather than bushings. You may want to start small in the setting until you find the drag brake that you are comfortable with.

No the servo will still need power from the receiver to turn on. The blue wire is just to get the 7.2V to the servo. The servo lead wire still needs the 6V coming from the recevier to the servo.

I think you didnīt understand me the right way. mcsquish wanted to know if his FET-servo isnīt switched on if he solder the blue wire directly to the battery without a switch. Iīm saying basically the same as you but maybe my words were not a perfect choice.

Sorry, I ment to reply to mcsquish not you.

I think that someone posted the instructions a few pages back. Try a search.

Thanks to V12 and KO PROPO Staff. I will try a new speedo this weekend, I hope. If the magic smoke comes out of something I'll let you know. lol..

Hi, i am thinking of getting a vfs-1 and program setting adapter set when i've got enough money, but does the servo lead from the speedo (red,white and black wire) go straight into the setting adapter, or do you have to get another lead to connect it or does it come with everything to set it up
