Tested yesterday with LRP Vector X12 13.5T and the temp protection worked... I set it to 85C knowing my motor will reach about 90C. The ESC started double flashing red when protection kicked in.

Yes you just need the 2 in 1 programmer. If you look at the HW website you should be able to figure out what is the latest stock software, this is the one that has all the adjustments that you want for turbo and boost.

Here is link to my post about using the programming box to update the ESC.
http://www.rctech.net/forum/10482415-post8242.html

It should work with any sensored motor that has a temp sensor. Novak, LRP, and a few others.

Both the 120a and 60a have Boost/Turbo enabled by default. You can program it to your liking with the programmer card or set it to blinky by pressing the button sequence.

where can I purchase the new hobbywing xerun v3 in canada ontario, thanks

www.teamcrc.com they are in the states, but they are in upstate NY so I would think you could have the V3 in a couple days time.

When I look at info on the v3 of the esc, i find this:

" External Programming Port (EPP), easy to connect the LCD box. This port is also for the cooling fan. No need to disconnect receiver plug.
"

Does this mean that I will need to unplug the fan everytime I want to program the esc from the programmer box?

Does this esc use a differant programmer box than my v2.0?

Can I use the v3.0beta software (which is required for computer programming the v3 esc) to program my v2 esc?
Can I upgrade my v2 esc to v3?

thanks,
tim

How much AWG wire i can get away on xtreme stock ESC. I am using 12AWG wire on esc, it is bit too thick. Can i go thinner like 16AWG for motor<>esc and battery<>esc ?

Team CRC from New york Usa will take over the Canadian market .Frank calandra will from today be the distributor for Canada .

Retail stores and end users wanting the hobbywing product in canada please contact crc

Dear Tim

No you do not need to unplug the fan to program the 3 pin connector is for programming but can also be used for a motor fan plug in .Not used for the esc fan esc fan has it own dedicted port for the fan

Same programming unit is used but you cannot use the same software say the 2.0 etc you must upgrade the software to the v3 version .soon we will have a programming box that will have more memory to caterfor both the v2 and v3

v2 esc cannot use v3 software as we use a different ic unit .It will not work and even if someone did crack the software it would only kill the esc .

Hi Guys

Just some info you all need to be aware of

we have seen some issues that the esc being the v3 wont switch off but when it does switch off it switches on by itself again sometimes through the button well two things can cause this

1.extreme heat above 125c

2.shorting out the programming pins will also cause the the switch circuit to fail so please keep anything like screw drivers anything metal away from the pins.I have seen guys removing there motor fan connector with a flat blade screw driver to wedge it up and short the pins causing this problem .

any other infor you guys need please email me

[email protected] or [email protected]

good point i have been using an un pinned plug in the v3s program port so i wont have any issues:)

Or using a metal cased temp gun on the esc and shorting the pins..
*holds up hand!* :lol:

[QUOTE=COBRARACING;10652219]Regarding the programming box, you can still use a V3 enabled 2in1 box to program a V2.1, but it cannot be done by the box itself, rather using the box to connect to a pc, then using the V2.1 software.
Need to use the V3 software to program the V3 mind.

HiH
Ed

For covering the pins on the V3 esc and taking away any risk of shorting them out, I recommend using a dust cover typically used for receivers. It also protects any dust from getting into the esc:)
