anyone know if I can run the esc with out the LEDs? I just received the 120amp ESC and its missing the LED light bulbs. Theres just three empty holes.
I plan on getting the tunning card but I guess binding will be a issue since you use the light to indicate when to bind?
Meh, Ill just send it back. You get what you pay for . I guess it might not be worth it .

Definately get the programming card, very inexpensive and nice to have. Simple to use also.
These are the instructions I use to calibrate the esc. I didn't write them, just copy paste from one of the file tabs off hobbyking.
Calibrating
I’m not sure if the instructions in other comments and in the files section are inaccurate,
or simply written for a different firmware revision than mine.
On my ESC the LEDs would start out being SOLID (not flashing) they will flash while
programming the different positions. Yellow for neutral, Orange for full, Red for reverse. Step by
step instructions go like this:
● Hold the set button and switch on the esc
● Solid Yellow LED indicates ready to calibrate NEUTRAL
● Leave throttle neutral, press SET, yellow LED flashes while reading NEUTRAL
● Solid Orange LED indicates ready to calibrate Full Throttle
● With throttle to full, press SET and the Orange LED will flash while calibrating
● Solid Red LED indicates the ESC is ready to calibrate reverse
● With throttle in full reverse, press SET and the Red LED will flash while calibrating
● When the esc is done calibrating full reverse it will flash all three LEDs in sequence to
indicate programming is done.

ok, thanks for the help . Ill power it up and see if it has lights. Looking down the holes doesnt look like it so Ill have to put power to it.

I also run the v1 it's also gold , one of my favourite functions with both v1 and v2. Is the turn off ---- just finish your run hold the trigger to brake for 4-5 sec and boom the car is turned off ✌️
The v2 esc is slightly smaller

Back story...I got the 1/8 scale trackstar combo a couple years ago. The 120a Esc malfunctioned and they sent me a 150a for the replacement. I ended up buying the sidewinder 3 1/8 combo for my stampede so I had something to use while I waited for the replacement process to work itself out. I finally got around to placing the combo in my sons rustler a couple days ago and the esc won't calibrate. When I turn it on it flashes green and won't do anything else. I followed instruction manual but no luck. Side note...I decided to try the 120a that wouldn't work before and somehow fixed it with no instruction manual.
