not mentioned, but does this esc have reverse?
 Thomas 29 points
NO REVERSE!! no programming parameters for it. reverse would be nice on an ESC this size ... most boat models benefit from having reverse. get the hint H.K.

Can I use this ESC in my original SURGE CRUSHER?
 dr. Lex 94 points
It depends on the motor, too. But if You use 3656motors as the manual sais, you wont have any problems
 Mats 6 points
Yes you can ,mine works perfectly.

Is it possible to run this ESC also with NiXX-cells?
 andreas 7 points
Of course. ESCs can be powered by any battery type, provided it is within the voltage range specified by the ESC maker.

I have just ordered one of these assuming that it comes ready to go. I've read in the manual that it comes with a usb adaptor and cd rom but some reviews have said that is not the case. What should I expect?
 johnmac 9 points
Answered my own question with a call to HK. The ad does not say specifically that it comes with programming devices only that it can be programmed with thse devices. So, don't bother ordering one of these without a programbox/USB and or the appropriate connectors to match battery etc. . .

Aslo, contacting online support was a fruitless endeavour because you only get a sles person not a technician.

Igot this esc and the downaloafd manual indicated a USB linker and a CD are included but it is not.Have ordered the usblinker and a progrmaming card but they re on back order. I tried connected the esc to the recevier but it only make some music sound and nothing moves.Any idea on what I can do to make it work. The back order some times takes more than a month to get it. Thanks and really appreciated any help.
 danny 30 20 points
I got the same problem. No way to make it work.Please can you tell me where you download manual. I just tryed to conect it right now and i have not investigate the question for the moment If i find a solution i will let you know.
 chilisoling50 41 points
The manual is in the file section of this page site. There is alos some exe file for the programming but u ccant transf the data until u get a USB linker.
 johnmac 9 points
I spoke with someone at HK last night and they replied that the manual is nt put out by them so it is not a reflection of what is included in the purchase. So it looks like I'll be hunting for a turnigy program box if I want to set up my new ESC.
 johnmac 9 points
Finally got my ESC and installed it. It acted the same way. Read through the manual several times and successfully programmed it with my transmitter after several attempts.
I understand the program box or card makes the process a whole lot easier but doing it with the transmitter is not impossible. Trial run with the boat seemed to go well with the ESC running quite cool. But I had done the recommended modifications eg. removing the water fittings, and re-sealing them.

Is it possible to use this product with a seaplane ?
 T.rex.450 175 points
Hi.

It should not be a problem using this ESC in a seaplane.

Of course, you will not get any water-cooling wile in the air with the plane, so I would be carful drawing a lot of amps if you cant get sufficient cooling.

Could someone please advise me what throttle range: 640uS means?

This ESC does not work. It beeps two times that's all. I send it back it's useless.
 johnmac 9 points
I felt a similar frustration when I first bench tested my setup. . . . Glad I persevered until I successfully programmed the unit. Up until then I thought HK has sent me a dud.

just set your trottle to the lowest then plug the battery and you will hear a beep and accelerate the trigger r stich and you will hear another beep and it ready. you can now adjust the trottle response.

5 thumbs up!
If Aqua Star and Super Brain series use same programming card then is it possible that hardware is also the same and it is possible to update firmware from Aqua Star to Super Brain?

This product is not waterproof like discription says.It also leaks at intakes causing circuit board to fry.This is of poor quality construction and it only lasted 2 outings.Not a good product unless you do some repair work before you use it
