Get the v3.1 if you want all the fancy adjustments that make you car feel amazing. Get the v2.1 if you want to spend a lot less, have a speed control better than what you have not, and not have too many adjustments to mess up. The v2.1 can still feel great in a buggy, just the v3.1 has more stuff and almost double the price.

+1. Pretty much exactly as i would put it. If you would consider yourself a 'hardcore racer' then the v3.1 is definatley for you. if you dont have the cash or can handle not having all the awesome adjustments go for the v2.

Hey guys,

Little problem with my 120a hobbywing pro sct with 2250kv motor... After 5 or 6 min of run time the esc had intermediate shut offs. I would press the trigger and the rc8.2 wouldn't go and then it would take off gain. Checked all the wires and the sensor Cable, everything is good. Running a Reedy 5500mah lipo with 16t pinion. The servo is a Futaba s9351. Temps were around 160. Never had this problem before, the esc and the motor been great.

Any ideas what coul be causing the shut off?

I am going to get a 14t pinion and take the program timing to 0. Hope this will help..

Also the timing is at setting 5 on the controller. Putting at 1 makes the timing 0. I am right?

Thanks,

I noticed that both of my sct pros had loose sensor wires. The first one acted like urs and then smoked on me, the second I checked closely and found that if I used a small screwdriver I could actually push the sensor wire conector further into the esc and wigled it back and forth til it "snapped" into place. Now it is good and tight and no issues at all. Hope this helps

Thanks.. I thought the sensor wire was good but will try your suggestion. I hope the sensor plug on the ESC is good? Thanks.

My esc went up in smoke and i'd rather not repeat it again. Can someone tell me what to do to prevent this from happening with my replacement? I really hope my sct-pro was a dud.

There's 3 screws on the pinion side. And 3 on the sensor board side. You will probably have to give a tug on the pinion shaft to get them apart.

Hi, I have just purchased the Justock ESC and would like to update the firmware, I heard the ESC is quite good when updated. I never have updated any HW ESC firmware, so im a novice to this.

Could anyone tell me if the V3.3 software will work since I can not find the V3.2. I noticed that the Justock was listed under the compatability "EZRUN Series Car ESC (Version 2.0 and later)"?
So I assume it is compatibale with V3.3...

Where can I find the "508_No_Timing" firmware?

Finally I have the 2in1 Professional Program Box and not the Multifunction LCD program card. So please keep this in mind.


I guess my questions are:
After I download the V3.3 software how do I get it onto the Program Box and onto the ESC and where do I get the 508 firmware and is it the most current and best for the Justock?

I have a Sct pro from Falcon that I bought the middle of May. The green light blinks constantly when it is turned on. It seems to run fine but the green light is always blinking. About 10 battery packs thru it with the light on. I thought the light meant temp too high? Motor is the 3656sd 4000 kv.

What does this do, is it even a upgrade?







Is this correct so far?
Where do I get the 508 firmware for the Justock Clubspec ESC. Is this the best firmware for this ESC?
How do I get the firmware on the ESC?
