Need more info. What ESC is this? And where are you trying to program it from?

The newer LCD program box has a built in lipo battery cell checker.

it does work great when i use it for mod (the reason i bought it) with lots of brake. but some tracks i switch over to 17.5 stock and should be able to use the same esc (zero timing mode)

hoping that the HW Tech Support is answering posts. Or if any of you have a good support number to call in the states, my local hobby shop is of no value.

THanks

You hooked up to the wrong spot, you should hook into the fan port. Unplug your fan then plug in the box.

Just a glance it looked like the rpm range was removed from the boost section....but was still there for the turbo.

Thoughts?
Go back 1 update and you get the rpm range back.

Sometimes 17.5 motors just dont have lots of brakes because of the large gear you have to run.

Looking for setup advice for the exrun 150a/2200 sensored system for a d812 with a rc moster conversion installed. Setup sheet would be great. I do have the program box. Also gearing with the stock 48 t spur. Running on med to low grip track

Dumb question, I need a couple speed controllers, but im deciding between the Stock Spec V3.1, and the Justock club spec ESCs, one is for 21.5 spec TC and the other is for 21.5 Tamiya mini.
Ill never need to run a hotter motor than a 21.5. Will i notice ANY performance difference if i just decide to go with the cheaper justock?

Default Exrun 120a V2.1

does this esc blink in 0 timing mode or blinky. I only run 17.5 stock/blinky. Just want to be legal. Used to run Tekin RS got tired of the on/off throttle control.

Thanks for your responses,
Mike

With an older series speedo (v2.1, xtreme, and justock) they need to have the 508_No_Timing firmware installed. The v3 series the boost and turbo just has to be set to 0. And the ESC will blink. Of course to be truly legal and roar approved it has to be in mode 2. But again if boost and turbo is not at 0 it will not blink in any mode.

Default Boost Uses Lots of Power

My stock spec at 30 degrees boost really draws the battery down quickly. Went to 15 degrees of boost and much better.
