How do I factory reset my Hobbywing ESC?
Restore the default values with the SET button Press and hold the SET button for over 3 seconds anytime when the throttle trigger is at the neutral position (except during the ESC calibration and programming) can factory reset your ESC.
Are Hobbywing ESC any good?
Very powerful and small esc. It is not waterproof but the circuit boards inside can be waterproofed with some conformal coating. Runs well with no heat issues on 2s and a 4600kv motor in a clodbuster (two brushless systems) but it sucks the battery down fast.
Why is my Hobbywing ESC blinking green?
The GREEN LED keeps flashing indicating the thermal protection is activated, please let your ESC cool down before using it again.
Why is my Hobbywing ESC blinking red?
The ESC will monitor the battery voltage all the time, it will immediately reduce the power to 50% and cut off the output 10 seconds later when the voltage goes below the cutoff threshold. The RED LED will flash a short, single flash that repeats (☆, ☆, ☆) to indicate the low-voltage cutoff protection is activated.
How hot can ESC get?
But there are ESCs that can work just fine with hotter temperatures. For example, Castle Creations ESCs can handle a sustained 70-82°C and will have issues around 100°C but most ESCs will have lower tolerance levels and may have issues above 80°C.
What is throttle PWM?
A PWM (pulse width modulator) is installed between the battery and motor and is used to improve the efficiency while giving you proportional control over your speed as opposed to having only the typical 2-5 preset throttle settings.
Do you need programming card for ESC?
Most ESCs have default settings that will work just fine out of the package. Most can be programmed via the transmitter, but that’s a pain and you need the manual if you can download it. So you don’t NEED a program card. If you plug it in and it works, forget about it.
What is a programming card for ESC?
RE: what does ESC programming card do? Its an easier way to program the speed controls adjustments. Like drag brake, reverse power, or Lipo cutoff voltage. You do not need a different radio. Your brake should work the same as usual, but you can change how it works with the programming card.
Why is my ESC flashing red and green?
If the Low-Voltage Detection (LVD) is “ON” when a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery is used an ESC may show the over-voltage alarm, indicated by a flashing red and green light.
How do I program the ESC to work?
Holding the SET button and press the ON/OFF button to turn on the ESC, the RED LED on the ESC starts to flash (Note 1 the motor beeps at the same time), and then release the SET button immediately. (The ESC will enter the programming mode if the SET button is not released in 3 seconds, then you need to restart from step 1.)
What kind of motor is in a Brushless ESC?
Sensored Brushless ESC Product Number:30112102 Current: 80A Input Voltage: 2-3S Lipo/6-9 Cell NiMH Best Combination: XeRun AXE R2 Motor Applications: 1/10thRock Crawler Press Release HobbyWing and Bruno Coelho will renew their contract for four years.
How do you turn on a beep beep ESC?
Turn on the transmitter, move the throttle stick to the top position. Connect the receiver to the battery, ensure the transmitter and receiver are well bound, and then turn on the ESC. After the motor emits two short “beep-beep”, move the throttle stick to the bottom position in 3 seconds.
What to do when the ESC fails to start the motor?
The ESC will shut down the motor after it fails to start the motor normally in 2 seconds by increasing the throttle value. In this case, you need to move the transmitter throttle stick back to the bottom position and restart the motor.
