I just bought a new Orca program card and it says the software is V3.03. This is old, correct? Isn't the latest V3.3?

if you are running the VX it's ok but you can update. if you are running the VXX you will have to update for it to work.

Tommy. It's really easy to update the program card. The VX you have has the 3.3 on it. I think I mentioned that to you when you bought it. Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks, guys. So will the 3.03 software on the card work with my VX that has 3.3? If not, I'll just need the USB cable, right?

Ryan, the ESC performed great this weekend! Expect positive feedback coming your way.

It will not. The card and VX must have the same software. Buy a cable or borrow a friends!

Sorry if this has been posted before... but does anyone have a weight for the VX1 sans wires?

Trying to compare it to the latest Hobbywing 1S offerings in terms of mass....

Roughly 40 grams. I shortened the rx wire but should give a general idea.

If I purchase a VX-1 and program box online, do I also need the USB cable adapter thing?

Hey folks,

This past weekend I was running my VX in 17.5 TC (blinky). Overall, the ESC performed great, but a couple times it seemed to die. I would still have steering, but the power to the motor would become disabled. After a few seconds power would return after not touching the car and everything would be fine.

Talking to some other ORCA drivers at the event, they suggested I ensure the sensor wire is fully seated. I tried, but the connections were already seated well. Is there any reason this might happen? FYI, it was not following any impacts or anything like that.

- Xray T4 '13
- EAM 5000mah 70c battery
- Killshot 17.5 RPM w/3.85 FDR
- Spektrum 6070 servo
- Futaba 4PL radio

Thanks!
Tommy

The USB is only necessary when updating (uploading) new software to the program box and ESC.. Once the program box and ESC are updated, they will function independantly.. The program box allows you to switch from blinky to mod (vice-versa) and gives access to all adjustable parameters independant of the USB adapter.. hope it helps..!

Tommy. I sent you a pm. I think it has to do with the 3.3 software. Put your ESC in forward/brake mode. Take reverse out. It will solve the issue. I figured it out when I would make tight turns and get on the brakes it would stop completely then after a couple seconds start again.

Another thing to try is a different sensor wire all together. I've had some that are fully seated yet still had issues until replaced.

Thanks, Ryan! I will put remove reverse and try it out. I had a similar issue with the Hobbying ESC in my VTA.

Thanks, ProMod. This cable has served me very well and worked great as recently as a week or two ago, but if the problem persists I have another one I can try.
