I still find peoples attitude to so called "cheap Chinese" products strange.
They bitch about the price of products but will buy a esc twice the price as "it must be better"

Most esc,s are manufactured in Asia. most companies use a manufacturer like hobbywing to make there esc.
i think if people seen were there "twice the price" esc was made and how much the companies pay for the manufacturing of there esc,s they would come to realise the hobbywing is not a "cheap Chinese esc" but a esc that's made by the manufacturer cutting out the big company name and advertising costs and selling at a realistic price.
imo the fact there is not a new thread every week on "my hobbywing esc wont work" unlike some other brands speaks for itself on how good a esc it really is.

I love my 120a 1s. It does everything my "name brand" esc does, It just does it better/ with more features/ easier/ faster......I could go on. I just ordered my second 120a 1s for another car. I am hooked on hobbywing. The price,features and now with product support, how could you go wrong?

Yes, those are the two things you will need. you will need to change tothe "stock" software as I believe that the speedo is pre set for "mod". Also just a word of warning the stock software needs to have the voltage cutoff turned OFF. if you change the software and dont turn it off, you will need to hook it up to a 2s battery to get back into the programing. Most of it has been covered here. I run one in my Xray 12th scale with a D3 17.5 and it is the fastest car on the track. CRC has some very good setups posted as far as starting points for settings.

true yes voltage cutoff turn off only if your running spec class 508 zero timing with miod and stock it works fine just we havent upgraded the 508 to work the same way as the mod and stock completly forgot about it as we thought that non one would run zero timing on 1/12th scale but i guess we were 100% wrong .sorry guys for 508 we will sort it out after the 2nd of february

The price wont increase ill make sure of that but the support will be better and our reputation of just another cheap chinese product will start to fade .

it all about building an image and becoming more known as a high quality high performing brand to the western world and not just another cheap brand as known today .
I only hear great things about hobbywing...I find it astonishing people are willing to pay 2-3 times the price for the exact same controller...perhaps only the firmware is different.

Get the V3 out the door quick and you can have your first customer!!!!

I am sure this has been asked, but have the dimensions of the V3 been released ???

Going to try my xtreme stock in my 4x4 buggy and hope it holds up (10.5 turn motor) as i dont want to have to buy a new esc at the moment.
but if i need a new one it needs to be small (see pic)

Just order it online from CRC. They race with it and have a ton of knowledge on the products. Been a big help.

Had a search through and can't find an answer. Which current firmware is the most powerful in terms of turbo/boost timing?.

Depending on what motor you are using.... (not the answer you are looking for, but I don't want to lie to you)

But the latest available should normally be the best, except for LRP X12 motors.....

930 Stock is the fastest boosted software version for the Hobbywing.

Hobbywing is fast in Blinky too! I used the 120 amp 1s to win World GT and 17.5 12th scale at the Sweep Challenge at Middle River Hobbies this past weekend!

CRC has speed controllers in stock!! To order or if you have questions, log on to www.teamcrc.com, or call 315-338-0867. We will get you set up.

Also, Team CRC will be at the Snowbirds pitting down by the track, if you want help or just want to check them out. Feel free to stop down and talk to Team CRC/Hobbywing drivers Brian Wynn (me), Frank Calandra and Mario Ficco for anything you might need.

The hobby store at the Snowbirds will have Hobbywing speed controllers in stock.
