User Programming options. Cell type / Voltage cutoff Throttle (Auto / 1.1ms to 1.8ms / Hard / Soft ) Brake (No Brake / Soft / Medium / Hard) Motor Direction (Clockwise / Counter-clockwise) Timing Mode Setting (1 / 7 / 15 / 30) PWM setting: 8K/16K
Note: This ESC is OPTO, with no BEC supplying power to your receiver. You will need an extra power source for your receiver. (such as UBEC or Rx battery pack)
HI i need some help guys:
i buy this esc to run whith 2 bateries conected series Turnigy 4000mAh 3S 40C 11.1v Lipo Pack total 22.2 volt whith motor
Turnigy SK3 3659-1900kv Inrunner
this is trooble or works fine ???
i need some fast help please
thanks Best regards
I just bought one of these and hooked it up to my boats motor. The motor does it hello good morning tune, on connect but no throttle. Im powering my rx using a separate battery bec. The tx/rx are talking because i can control the rudder but no throttle. Last but not least the throttle is on ch 3.
Any ideas ?
aka I just replaces my previous ESC because it appeared dead. On connect the motor was playing no tune and no response.
Turn on your radio and hold the throttle full on. Then plug in your battery in the boat. That should give you a few beeps then return your throttle to neutral then it should beep some more. That's how you set your ESC up for throttle range if that's what its looking for. If not it will just do a bunch of fast beeps to tell you it doesn't like the way your holding your throttle. Try that see if it works.
why have they changed the specs of this esc to only 4s max ? it was allways rated upto 7 s ?.weve ran these on 6s for a cpl of years with no issues so whay have you suddenly changed the specs to 4 s?.
Hello
I tried to change the parameters but no way.
I hear the Bip tones of phase 2 (to select the parameter to change ie, #cells, throttle, brake,...) but I can not enter one of these sections.
Can anyone help me?
there not bad for the money . 3x layer boards 54 fets total.pays to sand level the fets and reinstall water block with thermal paste and epoxy on the corner fets before shrink rap.runs cool as on 5s in pursuit 32" after mods
i m using this esc about 4 month without any problem..start from my scratch and built boat by 4s lipo...now i still use the same esc at my genesis rc boat with stock motor and 5s lipo..its run better...for motor and esc is very hot after run..untill now its still can run in good condition..
boats naturally torque to the left due to the rotation if you adjust your weight accordingly you wont have that nasty torque steer on corners and for god sake center your steering trim.
This ESC is only rated for 4s LiPo MAX! You also need to check your cooling water flow. Use seperate water pickups for ESC and Motor for maximum cooling. If it is not running good now you may have damaged it from too high of a voltage input or over heating.
i have two of these one runs fine at 22.2v but the other wont even recognize the batteries are connected im starting to become more and more aggravated that's 3 faulty units Ive been sent 2 80amp speedy's and now another
A good friend has a pair in his Villian.. One seems to have failed for no reason - the other is OK.. I am running the 'fancier' Aquastar 120 with no problems.. Might be worth the extra money.
I follow the instruction to setup. Before turn on the esc, I turn on my trasmitter end receiver, and I move the throttle stick to the full throttle position. Connect my battery and the esc initialize with a musical tone. Afetr a few second the motor start beeping a sequence of tones. When I move the throttle stick to the center position to enter sub-option, the esc exits the menu. Why the esc out? I repeated many time, but I don't success. Does Esc is break?
I have a couple of these ESC's, and they are very difficult to program. Make sure your throttle trim is centered. Also you could try reversing the throttle channel and start from scratch. I have also heard that you can only make one change at a time, power down system, power up and move on to next parameter. Hope this was helpful. Rokcster
Try to select options by pressing stick in brake/reverse (front) position and hold it, then you'll come in the submenue. If you hear the music sequence you want to change, pull to full throttle and hold. After that you'll automaticly fall back in option menue and you can start again.
Im having the same issue,first, after repairing a dry solder joint in mine "from factory".. 3 cell Lipo ok but anything else no go and the sub menu's in program mode just exit when throttle is returned to neutral???? frustrating..
Make sure your throttle trim is centered. Otherwise this ESC will NOT work. And, I dont knew why, mine is just working up to 4 cells!!! 5 cells it is dead no chance.

i am upgrading my triple motor brushed 550 motors boat to brushless. the brushless motors require an 80 amp esc. Will this work and power them on 12volt nimh batteries.
you will need one speed controller fore each motor.
this one will handle your motor if it is rated at 80 amps no problem but it would be a bit over kill.
just watch the motor temps.
and if your running brushless i would recomend lipo's a brushless motor can kill nimh packs fast and i have had some catch fire in off road trucks running brushless and nimh 12cells.
i would look for a 25c 4 cell to replace your 12volt nimh pack in the 5000mah range.
if your limited in space go with a smaller mah pack but with a biger C rating.
I also purchased two of these one was faulty one was not, the faulty one will only run on 11.1v but not 22.2, where its healthy counterpart is not worried either way. i have since completed a warranty claim and are STILL waiting for a reply
it is not the same as the HK 7s 30 dollar regulator I'm on 7 s (30dollar) controller, the water-cooling (48Dollar) on it and a 5 volt fan on the other I have in my motor speedboat with leopard 4074 1500th it works good (motor ca 130A), the actual water regulator 200a hk I'm using air cooling in the buggy 4s
Manual has directions on how to program ESC with your TX. A fan will not work to cool this ESC because the unit is sealed to help protect it from water damage and it is set up for water cooling only.
Is this the same as the air cooled SS, but with a water heatsink and reverse? Also, can a fuel pump and a good bit of tubing suffice for liquid cooling in a car (or does HK have a radiator)?
You would be better off running a car speed control with a fan. I know that it's a cheap control, but it's a pain in the___ to program, the cooling pipes are very small diameter, and by the time you add a pump& radiator you added to much weight and more components to fail.One of the best brushless car, truck ESC's is the Traxas Velineon. ROKCSTER
The right program for esc ss 200 a. I've added it to download (files) of the controller can only have 4s and reverse . long time to discover this. lg david
If you tell me what you need help with, I can answer specific questions. I cannot, however, write a whole manual on this ESC in this comment section. So, ask a specific question and you will get answers.
Is this a speed boat, is it meant to go fast or is it a motor boat type, for cruising? It doesn’t sound like a boat you would put a brushless motor and ESC, and this is a brushless ESC. If I am right you will need a seven hundred type brushed motor and a brushed motor ESC. All depending how fast you want to go, you may need gearing on the motor to cut the revs down. The ESC, I have run more then 14.8v/ 4s, through the blue 50amp ESCs you can get on eBay.
Será* que fica bom com o motor 3660SL 3060kv Brushless Inrunner (Watercooled) - em uma lancha Princess com eixo rí*gido e helice 12x48 - cl 08B?
Is good with the engine 3660SL 3060kv Brushless Inrunner (Watercooled) - in a boat Princess shaft
drive and propeller 12x48 - cl 08B?
Have not received this item yet. Sounds too good to be true, 200 amp for 40 bucs. I'll let you know when I get it. Rokcster

Nice esc, but remove the cooling plate before use. I bought 2 and both had wrongly assembled cooling plates.
1.the fets that the cooling plate should cool had no contact to the plate in about 50 of them. fets had some epoxy or something like that on them and gap between fets and cooling plate.(light shined whel looked from side without the shrinkwrap)
I recomennd that you block sand the fets down and the plate also so it makes good contact.
be careful when installing the plate , the power/motor wires should NOT contact solder joints or it will smoke.
2.seal the water inlet/outlet well so it wont leak. (mine did not leak but were loose)
3.the programming menu does not have 30 deg. timing option for some reason. no biggie but something to know. ( this is the ss 200A air esc manual that i belive is the same as this boat esc www.link )
4.Happy boating!
