This shuts off and never restarts until I power down and then back up.
have you got another receiver to try also check your pins and connector to receiver

If I release it again for second(as if it is coasting, wheels not coming to a stop) then pull the throttle yet again, it gains even more RPM, to a level that feels like it is the correct full RPM for the 4.5T motor.

I have gone through the settings, boost on/off, timing up/down, and cannot seem to figure out this issue. Thoughts?
calibrate your radio to your esc and your problem will dissappear please follow the instruction manual for calibration procedure.

I do have other receivers but when I changed the esc the problem went away. I will try to install in another car and see what happens. Why do I have voltage on both the bec and the outside wire? 6v bec and 5v outside wire?

On casterracingparts.com they are selling an esc that has Bluetooth from a smart device to change settings.

Will we see this available from hobbywing ?

Hello,

This question is regarding the Hobbywing LCD Program Box and the Hobbywing Xtreme ESC.

Is it possible to swap between multiple ESC firmwares at the track using only the LCD program box without a computer hooked up to the internet?

For example, I was curious if I could run the blinky no timing firmware, and then plug my esc into the LCD program box to change to a firmware which allows boost/turbo.

Thanks in advance. Also if this is possible, any tips on how to achieve it would be great!

Pretty sure you would have to be hooked up to the internet.

you do not need the internet but you would need the pc with the usb link to change firmware.

v3.1 Boost controlled by throttle setting:

I have a start point of 4000 and a end point of 18000 and its set to linear with 10 degrees.

How does the throttle control the boost if its already set to liner? isn't it just liner progression regardless of throttle position?

How does having the boost by throttle setting on or off effect how/when the boost is applied?

Hook up to your pc and every setting you look at will have a detailed explanation. Its really quite helpful. ....

Hey guys, loving my hobbywing stuff, I have a 10.5 blinky xerun in my short course and a 10.5 v10 boosted in my b5 and it's insane how much better the v10 is!

Xerun power band is weird compared to the v10, v10 feels the same no matter where it is in the rpm. Xerun has no mid end pull at all, seems like it's a torque monster at the bottom, mellows out in the midrange then just takes off on the very top. V10 just pulls and pulls and pulls lol

Xerun comes off 160 is degrees and v10 comes off 12o is boosted and has WAY more power. Can't believe an 85 dollar motor is this good, for 67 bux the xerun sucks 😮
