Any Help

The reason i bought the 150a hw to run 2s is because on hobbypartz listing it says 2s-6s so i fig it would work but after i got it had no luck wit i i read the forum then looked on hobbywing site and It says no recommended for 2s . they need to get on the same page lol

Have you tried to contact Angelo on here? He goes by cobraracing and I believe the address to send in for repairs is in his signature.
why does hobby wing state that this esc is 2s-6s but its really not

Same reason they state on the programming card that the TIMING is for sensorless motors in fact when its not and actually the timing works for sensored motors also. Just went through this with hobbywing as the guy told me he was having the site changed since that was not wrong and thanked me for pointing it out and just went to the site and they did fix it..

Before and after shot of the programming card options if you notice on the first pic the option #9 for timing it states about sensorless and then the next pic its gone...Kinda bad the customer had to point it out but atleast they admitted the mistake and fixed it right away

alot of people have had problems with it so share what you know and run so they can compare...that seems to be one of the biggest HW complaints is that it says its not recommended for 2S but help em out if you kno anything
