No idea why it would say you have version 223 once in hotwire and plugged into a Gen2. Some have said theirs don't show a version at all and it sounds like a bug but does not affect anything. But they haven't said it shows the wrong version from what I recall. That was mentioned a couple pages back.
Only the 9.6 238 will load to the RX8 Gen2 & RS Gen2.
And likewise, only 224 will load to RX8 Gen1.
Only 223 will load to RS & RS Pro.
I don't know of a blinky mode in these, their 1/8 scale so there's no stock blinky class to need that even with 4x SCT, no stock class.
If you click the "download" button, that's where you load the firmware. If you click hotwire on any Tekin page it takes you to the hotwire page. If you click RX8 it takes you to the RX8 page, click RS Pro and it takes you to the RS Pro page and so on.
On occasion my ESC will not be found. Close program, unplug hotwire and start over. Some computers only like to use one of the usb ports, try a different one. Also make sure you push the mini USB into the hotwire hard, it takes effort or it may not be fully plugged in.
I would remove hotwire from your computer and click the download button that is above the text that I pasted below on the hotwire page to reinstall it and go from there.
