Does the weight of the vehicle affect the performance of the ESC?
The Justock will work great. I run one with a 13.5 in my Team C TS2.

Strange I would try to do it by the book again in a calm setting. Report back.

Default Hobbywing V3.1 Stock Spec

Hey guy's. Just purchased a V3.1 Stock Spec. Im curious to know if it comes in blinky mode out of the box? Im running 17.5 blinky class. I calibrated the esc to my radio and it seems like it has timing/and boost beacause my tires turned into pizza cutters. Also can I program the esc without the program box to blinky mode? If so how? Thanks for your time guys.

I'm not sure what profile is out of the box. But the v3 series all has blinky mode. If memory serves me its profile 2. You will need the LCD program box to switch profiles though. Its easily done at the track if you don't have one and a buddy does.

The V3.1 Stock Spec comes in blinky mode.

Hobbywing knows there were a few units that went out that were bad.Hobbywing stands behind their products and will replace the unit. Please fill out an RMA form from the falconsekido.com site and send it in for replacement. Im willing to bet your other problems will fade away also.

I have had my sctpro go out of calibration also but not often. Is it doing it all the time?

Is blinking green light on the on/off switch blinky? I really doubt it set to blinky out the box this thing rips. Or is it just that badass of a Esc?

Is there a contact for HW on here? I pulled it out and installed my 120amp v3.1 for now. I am new to HW, have ran almost every brand out there. I bought a brand new 120 amp 3.1 from my LHS and then found the stock spec 100amp on here, it was new in the box never soldered up. I have pics of it new and the listing. I looked at the RMA form and it requires a receipt, I have my Paypal transfer and documentation from purchasing it on this site. Will HW stand behind it since it's a known issue without me having the original receipt?

I would contact them and ask. They have great customer service!

A green light means either throttle or brake is being applied. If the V3.1 is in blinky mode, the on/off button will blink with a red light when in neutral. If it's a blinking yellow light, that means you have a sensor problem (either the sensor wire or the sensor board in the motor).
