OKay. That Update feature is only to look for a new version of the windows software. V1.64 is the version you already have.

The first thing you need to do is update your LCD Programmer. (2in1). Plug the 2in1 into your computer and select 2in1 Program box. You should see a message on the LCD saying Connecting to PC And a tab with display beside the "About" tab inside the HW software window. You then need to select the most updated version of the 2in1 software. Click the Update Button, which will start the update of the 2in1. If it fails half way thru the upgrade dont worry. Just click upgrade again.

Once that is done, hook your car upto your LCD 2in1, and select "ESC Speedcontroller" under the device tab. Turn on the ESC (Which is connected to the 2in1 LCD Programmer, which is still connected to your PC). You will see a "software" tab appear (as well as the settings for the speedo) the last tab will have the firmware versions you can upload to your ESC. Select which ever version you would like (508, 930_stock, etc), and click upgrade. The program will send the data to your ESC. Again, if it craps out half way, just keep clicking the upgrade button until its sucessful.

Also, I always use a 7.4V Lipo when uploading the firmware. I dont think it makes a difference, but it makes me feal better. And I always upload the software twice.

Cherry2Blost once posted acouple of good videos to YouTube. You might want to take a look for those.

Perfect Shawn. Thanks for your help... Worked a treat

Hey guys

I've searched the forums so perhaps someone can please help me out here

Just bought the hw 120A SD, 2 in 1 programming card coupled with the tenshock sc411 4600kv.

I have the Durango desc410r short course truck, medium size indoor wet dirt track.

Can you guys help me with what software I should use for the program card and esc. In addition, what settings should I try out?

Thanks guys.

does anyone have a problem HW esc can't go into calibration mode?i'm using HW xerun 60amps v2,1.tried everything but it doesn't worked

exactly what are you doing to calibrate it?

supposed to press and hold the red button... while holding the red button, turn the esc on and you should have a beeping sound... let go of red button.

press red button once for neutral. full throttle on transmitter, press red button. Full reverse on transmitter, press red button. and u r done.

Hi , many thanks for taking the time to answer me. I actually had not seen your answer and thought my questions remained unanswered and had disapeared in the depth of the forum.

For a starting point I followed the advice of a friend of mine who has fiddled a fair amount with this ESC. He told me to keep the motor at zero mechanical timing since it was kind of (I quote) " lying to the speedo". So my endbell is on the zero marking but I could'nt tell how many degrees that equates with, since it seems every motor on the market has some timing buit into it even at the zero notch. Anyway, I will follow your advice on ESC timing and go up in steps of 10 at a time.

My motor is a Orion 13,5. LIke I said my practice track is really small. The one I usually race on is a bit bigger. Let's suppose I find a nice setup at my practice track, what should I change in order to race the larger layout ? Just a higher rollout or other settings ?

I'm not sure i'm following you. I think that is 0 Turbo... right ? if I misunderstood the way parameter work, please enlighten me ! Like I said I was told not to put any, because this would be pointlessly more complex to setup, and not any faster, on such a small track with a straight under 45 feet. But you seem to think I should add some regardless ? Again, not sure what you mean. Thanks still !

i've just changed the tx into dx3r.doin exactly as the manual and you've said, no beeping sound and no changed on the light.

Had this problem with a DX3R when I changed radio.

It needed to have the radio recalibrated in the main menu.

Cant remember what section of the menu but there was figures that went positive when you moved the throttle forward and negative when you hit brake.
Once these end point figures (throttle and steering) where recalibrated everything was fine.
Check the radio manual.

Has anyone got a set up for HW esc/Team Power 17.5T motor ?? in touring cars
i'm using HW xerun 60amps v2,1. carpet track, fairly tight infield, 35m straight.

We have been having problems with it cutting out when you go onto full throttle and then seems to have reset itself to a sorta blinky mode.

Runs absolutely fine with our HW 17.5T motor but we seem to be lacking a bit of punch compared to the others so tried the TP motor cos it has end bell timing

Been running it with FDR 6.5

Any help would be appreciated

I won a big race meet with these settings, they might help someone.
It was really fast with good pull through the infield and accelerates all the way down the straight.

Speed Passion MMM 21.5 motor with timing set at middle setting about 15 degrees
FDR 4.23
Ver 930
4: level9
9: 12
10: 24
12: 30
13: 3000
14: off
15: 550

To start with I tried the fdr around 5 with higher boost and turbo but it just didnt pull low down. So I turned the turbo off and went up pinions until it pulled well for the first 10 meters then added turbo in for straight line speed until it started to get hot. I didnt measure temps but the motor had 2 tornado fans on it and it comes off very hot.

Oops.. Previously posted in wrong thread..

Hi all,

I have 120A V2.1 with Speed Passion MMM 13.5, Xray T3, Sorex 36, not a particularly technical track, medium grip, 30m straight.

Looking for a decent if somewhat conservative ESC setup as im returning after a 5 year absence and dont need max speed.

Can anyone make a suggestion? Dont want to cook motors etc.. Running yeah racing twin fans if that helps?

Thanks guys.
Mike.

I replied in the other thread...

new to electric rc just brought a crc ix pan car and a hw 1s esc and a program box running a 17.5 revtech motor revtech 6200 mah 70c 1s lipo looking for a good setup for the speed control untill i get the hang of the programming of the esc. i need a good starting point with esc setup,gearing and roll out

Boost 50, Turbo 14. 100units/step, 1000Rpm Start. Fastest Turbo ramp, .1 Delay. 5% drag brake on tight tracks. Rollout 80-84mm.


If you are worried about temps, then turn the boost down to 35 or so, and approach in 5 unit increments.
