Do you happen to know if you have your anti-lock brakes turned on? That is a no no when calibrating.....we will put our heads together collectively and get you fixed up.

Yes you need to hook up to your pc and update your card........

I am considering getting a Tacon 3650-540-8.5T 3 Pole Sensored Motor for my 2wd SCB.

I am keen on a HW esc but i am a bit confused on which one would best suit my needs?

I will only ever be running 2s, and wouldn't go below the 8.5t motor.

Can anyone give me some pointers please?

I would think it would work great. I run one in a DEX410.

You would do well with the 2.1, why not just get a combo?
It comes with the program box. It will run blinky and if you choose you can boost it and put in timing.
You can picknone up at Falconsekido.com

does anyone know why my stkv3.1 would lose its settings? i had it the buggy/sct profile last time i used it. i switched it to a different car and itsnow back in the modified profile. i surely dont think i hit restore defaults, if that would even do it.

Can someone please help. I have the 150A Esc with the 2250 KV motor for 1/8th scale ebuggy. I am running a 4s lipo. The other day while at a race about 5 laps into my first run. the car stopped moving everything powers up fine now but when I apply throttle the motor will not move but the wires connecting the esc and motor physically move. The motor will turn freely by hand but will not move when throttle is applied.
