I always set throttle and brake exponential to zero before I set the ESC. Otherwise I don't get a clear idea of what the radio settings mean from race to race. That's the same reason I always set the ESC to 100% brake and 100% reverse when I load new software.

Well something odd happened today. Was just working on my car when all of a sudden a puff of smoke & a nasty smell from around the esc. When i noticed the smell/smoke I immediately pulled the lipo connection. I noticed one of my two capacitors fried. Puffed up & popped.

No idea how so I triple checked all my wiring & it's correct so don't know what caused it. As soon as it happened the green light on the esc started blinking which I assume was "overheat protection mode." I removed the one bad capacitor & went back into normal running mode.

So my question is it safe to run with one capacitor while I wait for my replacement to come in? I went through all the functions & everything is working properly.

though not recommended...you can run them without the capacitor bank....i had something worse than that happen.....last year i had not only the capacitor bank blow, but had not only the esc fan smoke up, but a motor one aswell.....came home changed the caps and fan....good as new but am using it as my backup esc....it all happened after a huge shunt with a mod car...

Your cap would have burnt to save your esc as it seens either your motor was producing massive ripple current causing heat or your battery would have had a large voltage spike .

replace your cap dont run your esc without one .

Please help...

I downloaded and upgraded to the newest USBLInk V3.2.

I then upgraded my LCD box but I selected the wrong firmware, I have got V1,1_120301_V3 displayed on the screen but I only make use of XeRun's V2.1 ESC's.

I need to downgrade to the correct firmware on my LCD Box but now my PC doesn't recognize the LCD box any more.

I have un-installed all HobbyWing versions from my PC, re-installed V1.62 run the installation app as "Administrator"
When I plug in my LCD Box is still says unrecognized device.

Strange thing this only started to happen after upgrading to V3.2 and flashing the V3 software on the LCD box.

How do I go back to a previous version on my LCD box if my PC doesn't pickup it up?

Nm it was my USB cable that went faulty.
Tried a new one and all is good again.

That must be the new box since i have the LCD box and it does not have the battery checker which i do like the idea of but i to would also like to know if you can have multiple software versions on the box to be able to change to(only need it to do it on 1 of my ESC's since the SCT Pro doesnt have any other software)
