The TS160v2 doesn't seem to like 4.5T motor in 4wd. Installed a new TS160 with new V3 4.5T, and after a few pulls, the esc shutsdown. Temp of both ESC and Motor are very low, and not even close to overheating. Now the esc doesn't seem to be working with any motor, even my 5.5T now.

I will go up a tooth as well on gearing from the recommended gearing in the manual. I will do this manually rather than screw with Turbo or Boost on the ESC.
specs clearly say OVER 4.5 turns. you fried that esc

Yup. However I learned that the 4.5T will work when timing is reduced on the endbell from 30 to zero. I got a replacement ESC on the way now.

according to the manual:

0% compress will give the most linear response. the higher the compress, the more responsive the throttle will feel at the bottom end.

soften value -- higher the number the more mild the throttle feels on the bottom end.
soften range is where the effect ends. so higher the number is higher the throttle percentage where it ends.

I ended up finding a video Masami posted about the esc and I translated it , gave me the gist of what those settings do anyhow lol
Took these screenshots too. helped a bit to have a visual.

I've hit up my contact at Surpass via Alibaba, he got me 1.05 previously. I'll give him a few days and chase him again, hopefully hes as helpful as last time.

You can share via Dropbox or Google Drive if you have those or use one of the online ones like Mediafire or Mega. Be interested to try it, strange its 6MB, the 1.05 update files were very small.
