Don't want to rip it out if it won't tell me anyway. One thing I do know is it has no brakes.

The other glitch I had, is I had a transmitter fail - possibly just low batteries - and I had a runaway F1. Luckily the bushes weren't that far away and I missed the rainwater drain! Never had a runaway before. I thought I set all the fail safe right, neutral throttle, etc, but I guess I'd better check them
Even though there's not much to adjust in the Justock, it would pay you to get the 2 in 1 LCD box, as that would allow you to not only change the settings more easily but also update the firmware in the esc.
I think you can program the esc via a flashing led menu system, but it's a huge pita.

Plus the latest software & firmware fixes the "soft brakes" issue with the Justock, Xtreme Stock and 60 & 120 amp 2.1 esc's

Cheers
