I've programmed tekin and castle ESCs no problem, I don't understand why I'm having issues. (Unless the ESC is D.O.A.)

Edit: I see you posted the answer while I was figuring it out. These PDF instruction manuals aren't the best.

the link I provided for the SP software works fine. The USB is identified as a hobbywing.

Neat.


I got a brand new 8.5 motor. Anyone want to trade it for a 17.5? I ordered it a month ago when I had a car I wanted an 8.5 in. Now that truck is long gone.

I'd appreciate some suggestions. I have three builds I'm putting together and I need motor, esc and servo for each. I'd like to go all HobbyPartz or HobbyKing.

1. Hot Bodies D8T - Electric conversion. Which motor/Esc/Servo?
2. Jammin CRT.5 - Electric conversion on "pro" conversion chassis (allows for full size servo's)
3. TLR 22 Truck -Which motor/ESC/Servo?

Thank you very much for your time and suggestions.
