Once you d/l the program. There will be a box. Up in the corner it will say device. Pick LCD program. The hook up the LCD. Then you can flash it. Press upgrade if I remember. Pretty easy.

THANKS for the info!!! :-)
Please help UNDERCUT. Our ESC is very well known of the BRAKE, and when you guys tell me that our ESC has no brake, the 1st thing I know is the reverse is off.

There is a reason why our ESC is not the super compact small design. Anything has a limit...you want small ESC, you gave up something. We want performance over the size........thats why we won the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2 times, and going for the 3rd.

Hey guys, I have a 10.5 V3 motor with bad sensor board.

The motor cogs when it starts going. Unplug the sensor cable and it works fine. Plus the LED on my Tekin RS shows that only 2 sensors are being picked up.

Where can I find a replacement sensor unit ASAP? I looked into ordering from SpeedPassion, but they aren't in stock in the US. I've even tried eBay, but it'd be shipped from Hong Kong.

Default Strange issue - SP GT 2.1 EX

Hello!

My esc is mounted in a 1/10or-car. When I stop the car, release the throttle the engine will not start again, the car will not go forward. But a small (barely noticeable) boost from another car and it will start again.

Have tried this without pinong, the same. When I turn very lightly on the pin it go again.

Have tried different sensorcables, and diffrent engines. Have change capicator also.

Before i had the esc in a 1/12 pancar, then i put it in my OR, drived about 10 rounds then this problem apperead.

Broken or Software? Or something else strange?

Just got an used SC10 with a speed passion combo for a stealing price, but I have no programming card.

The ESC is a SpeedPassion GT Competition Brushless ESC v1.1



Does anyone know where I could find this programming card?

If you weren't in Belgium, I'd send you the one that's in my living room. If SP doesn't have it, try HW site.

Thanks! I managed to bind my radio to the ESC but I'm wondering if the cut off is ok. Don't wanna burn my car because I had no cut off set up

Default setup of the GT1.1 ESC is set at 2.6V/cell.........but if the ESC was previously setup by someone, it will be different. I never use cut off on my lipo so I will setup to 0.......

yeah but you get free batteries!

My advice, as SOON as you notice that the power of the car is fading, pull it off and stop running that battery. If the previous owner changed the cutoff to a lower number it will be the best way to keep from overdraining the battery and causing irreversible damage. It's a good rule of thumb to go by even with the cut -off.
