HOBBYWING TECH SUPPORT 1/8 & 1/10 OFF ROAD
i accidentally touched the pos and neg on the program port. Now the esc power button doesn't.
Has anybody ever sent in their esc to hobbywing to get repaired?
How much is it to get repaired?

Hi guys
I just picked a used V2.1 for one of my kids' cars. I ran some a few years back as well as the xtreme stock. Great speedo, still in 2018! Not as adjustable as the V3.1 (which I ran until a year or so ago) or my XR10 (which I'm running now) but will do the job well enough
My question is: what is the firmware version that offers boost, without the pesky "start RPM" feature? I believe I recall there was a "smart" version that did away with that adjustment, because it was doing more harm than good if you aren't exactly sure of what you're setting it up at. I'm pretty sure my V3.1 was using a firmware that had gotten rid of it, but not sure if there is such a thing on the V2.1?
Thank you for the help

Any one have this happen before? I have a couple new xr10 pro 160amp Speedos. Have tried both in my mod tc. This is what they do. Both have softening, timing,boost,turbo running a 5.5 motiv. When you first hit the track it feels like they are in blinky mode. No boost or turbo for like 5 laps then it's like a switch is turned on and it's there for the rest of the run.???

For 1/8 buggy usage, are there real world benefits that the full HW 1/8 speedo has that the SCT version won't have?
And does the full 1/8 esc have issues being used on 2S power? (example, you use it in a 4x4 sct)

If you mean XR8-Plus, it should work with 2S fine. Just like my Quicrun 150A does even though it's technically for 3-6S.

Boost isn't just for bottom end if you know how to set up the speedo..
Justock
I am looking for a new esc for a 17.5 stock buggy. I was thinking about getting the justock. Are there multiple versions of the justock? On the hobbywing site it lists XR10 JUSTOCK SPEC ESC and does not appear to have the wires presoldered. Another site lists Hobbywing XERUN XR10 Justock with presoldered wires in the picture. I just want to make sure I get the latest version if there are differences.
Also do I need the card? Is the LCD the correct one if so?

The multifunction LCD one is correct, and I would strongly recommend getting it. You don't "need" it for stock racing as the ESC is obviously blinky only, but it is pretty helpful for adjusting punch and brake force (among other things). This is also the only way of updating the ESC if/when future firmware is available.

Max 8
I just put a max 8 4274 combo in the new e revo and if I'm rolling up to a jump at a few mph and punch it it seams to lag hard and you can hear it delay anyone have this problem or know what it is? It didn't seam to do it on the first run but quarter of the way into run two it started doing it
What’s a good setup for HW v3.1 esc .for 21.5 tc Blinkey.large asphalt track thanks
EDIT - I figured out my issue at the last race. I ended up putting the justock ESC into my new B6.1d buggy with a 17.5T s-plus and it runs great. I put a new HW 10BL120 ESC into my 22T and still had issues. It ended up being the 13.5T LRP motor that was given to me. There is something wrong with it that after a few runs turned into ratcheting. I pulled it out and put in a hobbywing 17.5T motor I had and it ran fine the rest of the night. So no issue with any of the hobbywing stuff. It is all working great.
Need help with a Xr10 justock ESC.
When I start the red light quickly flases as expected for neutral but after driving flashes green single long flashes.
After running for a few mins the motor is still cool, can easily hold finger on it but the ESC light is blinking green. Per the manual this is for ESC overheat. The ESC feels cool to the touch.
The vehicle doesn't run slow or anything. I also factory reset it and that did not stop it from flashing green.
The solder joints and wires are good. I re seated the sensor wire.
Any ideas? I gave up after a bit and ran for 10 mins on the track and actually ran 3 of my fastest laps in a row so I'm not seeing any performance issues..
Will I damage the ESC if I keep running it with the light blinking green?
Setup:
TLR 22T 4.0
13.5T LRP Vector K7
78/22 gearing
Orion 3200mah shorty 2s lipo
SDRC raceway (indoor clay)

Okay I have tried and tried to get this thing to connect to my ESC. The light shows on, I am connected to WIFI, done the password change. Click to connect ESC and it won't do it. I am trying to connect to the older blue Xerun 150A ESC. It does not have the external fan connector for me to tap into. I tried the supplied Y connector that has 3 wires on one side and 2 on the other to no avail. I also used a standard Y connector. ESC wire on one end. WiFi Express on the other and plugged into the RX. Get it powered, and connected to wifi, but not to the ESC. What am I doing wrong?
Stupid question since Im new to electric, does the radio have to be on while doing this?
