There is a bit of confusion on the naming convention, and whats what, but this is what you need;

USB Software - V3.2_121204 which includes;
LCD Program box - V1.11_120331_V3
ESC - V3.1_121129_Beta

I now run a V3 with a SchuurSpeed in my EDM and I have it turned off.

The voltage cut off setting makes the esc do some weird stuff at times.

Without trying to sound rude, but more often than not, problems with the esc are down to user error, mostly by reverse connecting or overheating (I know this, as I have done it myself). Blaming these issues on the esc is a bit rich. I've heard of very very few issues with the esc itself from normal running, and by all accounts normally handled with quickly (again, also my experience).

From all the information out there, Hobbywing actually seems to have the most reliable product... lost count of the number of issues that have come to light with other well known manufacturers. Just look at a few of the competitors threads to see what I mean, you won't have to look far...

I ordered and received a Hobbywing Xerun v2.1 120a 10.5t combo.

I started to get it ready for my car. I got everything soldered. I then set my neutral, full throttle and full brake. I thne tried to connect it to my program box, but it doesnt do anything. All it says in connecting ESC. That didn't work, so I tried to tune it by connecting to my PC, and that didn't work.

Can someone please help me out. I have tried every possible way to connect it with no luck. I plan on calling Hobbywing North America tomorrow.

You need to turn your transmitter on (setting all values to 100% to get full calibration), then press and hold the button to get into the set mode. Then you'll hear the beep and flashing light.
Leave the throttle at neutral, press the button once and it should beep once. Now move the throttle to full forward, and press the button again. You should hear two beeps. Now move the throttle to full backward, and press the button again. This time you'll hear three beeps, and the motor should now respond to throttle inputs.
As far as I'm aware, all the latest firmwares are fine and work well on track.
