What instruction do you need? And what exactly do you mean by a hobbyking link? Web link? USB to program box link?

When it's completely hooked up, sensor cord and all, set throttle and brake epa both to maximum, then you're ready to setup the esc to the radio.

Hold little button on switch as you turn it on.

It'll beep.

Keep throttle at neutral, push little button on switch.

It'll beep couple times.

Pull full throttle and hold it, and push little red button on switch.

It'll beep another couple times.

Push full brake and hold it, push little red button on switch.

It'll beep more.

Wait a few seconds, and you are done. It is programmed. If you want any more programming than that, you should get the program box and tune it with that.

Hope that helps you out, they are great esc's If stuff isn't working, make sure all your wires are properly connected, nothing backwards, no solder blobs on the motor tabs. Good luck

anyone got older firmware files?

Hi guys, do you know any compatibility issue with trackstar gen2 and sanwa tx-rx? A friend can't get it to work with Mt4s, he can't enter the calibration mode, so Hk replaced the esc with a new one, but some issue.
Opinions?

Try in systems throttle type make sure it's on 50/50 not 70/30

no only program box from hobbyking

hi
it's for check the timing on your motor
connect the program box on your speedo
connect the battery
power on
and push the button on the smart box
your motor run (don't use pinion) and the program check the timing motor
if you want to change the value for timing it's boost timing and turbo timing select the value in function of your motor

There is a usb hookup system that allows you to hook it up to a pc and program it that way. I use one and it works with my Gen2 120a speed control with no issues. Here is the ebay link to the item I use.......

Guys using the 80a Trackstar Turbo, what settings are you using for initial brake, punch profile, drive frequency and brake frequency? I'm asking specifically for a 1/10 4wd buggy.

120a Trackstar Turbo. Use the esc fan or no? With the fan it's making it difficult to fit into the car, but I've always used the fan?

Is it a buggy? What motor? I've run em both ways and not had a problem. Never ran a big motor without it though, so I can't tell you how that works out.

If the ESC isn't getting hot, then no need for the fan. Not that particular ESC, but in general. My two 2WD mod SCTs both have 120A ESCs, one an X-Car and the other a TrackStar gen2. Neither necessarily needs the fan.

I had the same pb. In my case it came from the radio receiver. I changed it and now the esc and Motor are working fine.

Looks like several people here are having a problem connecting 120A ESC to the programming box. This is a firmware issue - the two are no longer compatible and HK has not corrected the issue. Currently the only way to adjust the settings in the ESC is to connect using the USB port (on the programming box) to a PC and the 'Software V2.06 OK' version.
I really hope HK fixes this issue soon. These ESC's are great otherwise.
