I'm pretty sure that is not compatible with the program card we use on the TS 150a... Our smart program box is only compatible with the current generation of the TS line of Toro esc's. I have only ever seen that esc you have for sale on eBay from a sketchy looking seller. Where did you purchase it? I'm almost positive the only program card compatible with that esc is going to be this one:

Matt you are correct the TS lcd programming is for the TS line of esc's only.

I progammed the esc with the prog box, before it smoked, it worked.
I hope I get a replacement.
As far as I can see, the software and the manual is the same as the ts.
I have ordered the bluetooth dongle and the PC interface as well.

the normal toro program box does not work.

funny thing is I haven't found much about the S8 in the internet.
ebay seller is goodgamex

Can anybody read the FETs?
Why is there no normal timing as with other ESCs, or am I wrong?
many thanks

Florian - I really don't think your esc is in the same family as the SkyRC TS ESC's. I seriously doubt the Bluetooth module is going to work. Sorry bud. There doesn't seem to be any online support for your esc.

Program box software is updated to 1.07 and it works. I just used it on my v2 TS 150a. Go get it. BTW, this is for those of us that are using the TrackStar TS 150a v2 ESC's

I want to know if anyone has run a tenshock 812 motor with the TS150. I know the TS150 works with sensored and unsensored 4 pole motors just fine and it even runs 6 pole unsensored fine, but the tenshock 812 sensored 6 pole just blew out 2 TS150 sensor ports. I'm going to have skyrc and tenshock review this issue I'm just looking to see if anyone else has tried this motor.

One download says it's for Windows 7 and the other Windows 8. FYI, I tried the Windows 7 software and it appears to work with Windows XP as well. Just wanted to let everyone know.

Short feedback about some progress:
I was able to run the programming software more or less, sometimes it shows a bit of the functions, sometimes nothing at all, sometimes some funny things... :flaming:
-pretty frustrated, I ordert the usb thingie and the bluetooth link.
-could not get the usb link working after some tries
-but surprise: the Bluetooth link worked after I linked it with my Huawei Ascent mobile phone, the app works great. :ha:
Hurray, I changed some settings, and it seems it worked! Curious if it still works next weekend...:rolleyes:

In an other forum I have read that the Gen II ESC sometimes has problems to get connected.

Did not update the ESC, as I am afraid that I get new problems...:sneaky:

Man, some years ago we didn't even have some proportional breaks for 1:8, and now I can change settings with my mobile phone. crazy.

I got a replacement for the Programming Box, which seems to work. Did not try to connect to my olt t41 Thinkpad yet.

Still I have one question: why is there no setting for the timing? :confused: I am into 1:8 brushless for some years now, and timing always has been an important feature. the normal 150a esc has of course timing settings. Thanks for some input.

I just got an 8S too. Skyrc have no product page or information on this ESC on their web pages, but they show a picture of it in the heading when you click the "Speed controller" menu item... strange...

Havent connected it yet, but will keep you updated when I do :)

Turnigy Trackstar 10th Scale Sensored Brushless Car ESC 120A 10th Scale
 

Turnigy Trackstar 10th Scale Sensored Brushless Car ESC 120A 10th Scale Sensored Brushless car ESC. I hear a lot about this off-road has anyone used this one yet on-road to give input. I have been told that on this ESC. You can install the HOBBYWING software and it operates like an ORION R10 120a. With the same braking force in blinky mode. You have to use the HOBBYWING box is all. I guess they use the HOBBYWING box because it has a lot more adjustments to it. If anyone can add or not to this.

This is the 150A Gen II thread.

Sorry guys couldn't find proper web page from lap-top. Founded.

Does the Skylink Computer interface module (SK-600013-02) work on the Trackstar 150A GenII esc to be able to program the esc via computer?

Not compatible. SkyRC/Toro only works with SkyRC/Toro. TrackStar only works with TrackStar. They are not interchangable. You will need to use the TrackStar smart programming box to interface with a PC.

Anyone know when they will have a firmware update for the TS120sc and TS150a? Installed a TS120Sc and it has very weak breaks.. You can't even re flash the firmware...
