Can anyone explain the different characteristics of the mod softwares? I think there is 3 that allow timing and boost. Im curious what the differences between them are?

When using the HW programming card do you just plug the esc into it and power up the esc??

The differences are just that some allow timing and boost and the others don't, I am not sure on all the number since I just started running the Brushless Hobbies ESC's but I do know that 508 is a mod firmware and should not be ran with any timing or boost when used with Tekin Pro 4 or Tenshock 411 motors ( per Stan recommendations) I really dont ever use any boost anyways. I ran 503 with a Tenshock 411 in a SCRT10 and it was blistering fast cant wait to get it into my SC10 4x4

My SCTE is the only one of my 4 that I did'nt switch out to the 120amp. I was'nt sure how it would hold up but I've read a few that have used it with great luck so I may be buying a 4th one soon.

Also has anyone tried to get this to fit in a B4.1? The only way I can get the body on is by removing the fan. Im geared pretty conservatively where my temps are usually in the 120's so im not to worried about it getting to hot. I will keep an eye on the temps just to be safe though.

I am just waiting to find the part number for the servo horn for the SC10 4x4 and I will be able to drive this thing finally,....... I have been looking for a servo horn for a month now with no luck.

Would these fit into a b4? Its seems to me like that fan would hit the body. Can you run it without the fan in 13.5?

Lol, what esc are you running? I am currently using the AE ones that come in a pack. Same as the sc10, b4 and t4. My horn has not broken with some crazy wrecks.

Lost an old castle esc due to old age the other day and these got my attention for the price and the reviews. Which one would be best suited to my SCB? The 120 or 80?

I vote 120a. Only because if you sell the SCB, you can use the 120a in bigger cars Plus the price difference is negligible so why not get the 120a at that point??

The 2 in 1 programming card? That's all I need to do and everything fires right up.

Sell my SCB!? Never! Lol!! That's what I thought but I figured I'd get a few suggestions. Sometimes when it's feelin funky, i pop in a 7700 and blast up the gnarliest hills I can find then put a 10 turn in and dominate the off road circuit. I just want to be able to keep that on and off track ability that makes the SCB so sweet to me.

When I make changes with the programming card do I have to recalibrate? Or do you just do that when you switch software programs?
