I received this speed control and the first day I took it out I ran it on 6s lipo and then after one successful run I went to plug it in again then my battery connecter was welded to the esc the there was fire coming out the side so I threw it in the lake on the first day out.

got this one, using the standard set up with the genesis boat and 4 s lipos, the esc gets very hot with in 5min using, water cooling is working, any sugestions, thinking about getting a turning 120 esc would that be better
 homzaracing 17 points
I would double check water cooling first.check motor too
 scott 9 points
run twin water pick ups instead of single,also drill out water jacket holes to increase water flow.
 hank74 69 points
the esc say 115/125 i would think that would be Continuous Current: 115A Burst : 125A that could be the reason that its getting hot or i could be wrong

Hello, i got this ESC, but i can't programm it. If i do it like the instrucions, the motor make music and a long beeb, 3 times and then 2 long beebs. So it is in the first mode to choose the options. If i go back to the neutral position with the throttle it makes music but no long and short beebs. When i turn back to full throttle the motor start running. I must programm it because i have to set up the reverse and the breake and the timing. What should i do?

Will this handle 22.2v cause im sick of buying falsely advertised esc on here..
 speed maniac 63 points
I'm using it on 6s (22.2v) and i never has problem ... No overheat and perform very well ... don't be affraid
 thomasito 107 points
I'm pulling 100A on 22.2 and it holds nice.
 Martin 4 points
how did you do to 6cell? me only on 4cell, and hobbyking answer only to 4cell.
UweK-DE  53 points - 6/12/2012
 
For what is the Medium Cable? So what's just a controller WITH BEC?
 speed maniac 63 points
You plug the medium cable to the receiver . a controler with BEC is a controler who give power to the receiver .... If you don't have BEC you have to use a battery pack for the receiver and servos.

Hey guys* I have two of the hobbyking 125a ss boat series esc.my ? is*is there a programming card for it.I am using two for my genesis cat,which has been twinned.Lots of work to do this.But I made it,except my hands.All scratched up installing the motors. Thanks
 thomasito 107 points
no there isn't a programming card. you have to do it with you transmitter

The manual says it will not do more then 20.000rpm. Is this true?http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/images
/em_rolleyes.gif
 thomasito 107 points
it isn't true, I use it on a 1800kv motor on 6s lipo. so 22.2x1800= 39960 it runs fine, no problem

Have anyone been able to run this ESC on 6 S? I have many of these and none of them works on more than 4S. Even programming does not work.
 Jetter 1 points
If it says 2-7 lipo in the product specs it should be able. Contact customer service. I know many that have this and run it on 6S, dont know if they did anything special to do so.

The right program for esc ss 200 a. I've added it to download (files) of the controller can only have 4s and reverse .

Anyone else having a issue with there esc and the soft acceleration? when i put my boat in the water the prop just barely turns. When i take out of water it runs great. Tried programming it with no luck to take it off. please help.

Olá Colega ! Eu Comprei um esc Destes e o meu eu configurei apertando o gatilho do Radio e não houve necessidades de manual, hj ele esta Funcionando perfeitinho inclusive e muito bom Este esc. Espero ter ajudado
 gouldie 401 points
iv had that problem with a boat before i had to re program as the soft start just could build up enough speed to disengage and it was causing over heating on the esc and motor. you can program pull off on some controller or do as i do and just be gentle on the throttle or give the boat a helping handed and throw it in

hi does it really has a Revers? so my boat can go Back-Front?

Yea they have revers. But only some times.

I could use an explaination on the reverse function of this ESC. I would like to use it in a scale boat that requires an instant reverse with no delays or other silly stuff like pausing in neutral for a few seconds. Can anyone advise?

NO MANUAL !!! I CANNOT USE IT WITHOUT MANUAL !!!!!!!

 Prop-er 37 points
I've been trying to program this ESC using the above mentioned SUPPO manual, and found that for some reason the "centre" and "lower" throttle position are switched. In order to program, Move throttle on TX to wide open and connect battery to ESC. Once your choice appears, select it by closing the throttle all the way. Once you are finished programming set throttle to middle position, and it returns to it's normal state. Throttle only works from the middle position to full position. I've solved this by using a subtrim in my TX. It works fine now. BTW: I'm using a Graupner MX-12 TX.

Have anyone been able to run this on 6S? If so, please tell me how to do that!!! I have contacted hobbyking about that this ESC only works with 2-4S, but they don´*t seem to understand what the problem is, f*c***g retards!!!

Does Anyone know if this works well with hobbykins genesis boat (stock) I've heard the stock one it comes with runs to hot.

I am using this ESC with 3656 2200KV 4S 5S 6S lipo without any problem, no heat, even not warm... but when I first receive ESC, I noticed water cooling was not working, so I removed outher shrink than water nipples and cleaned selant in the inlet and outlet holes. And one more advise if you remove shrink check that, if the transistors all contacted to aluminum water block perfectly for cooling. In the past I have seen same problems in most of chinese ESC, because they are spreying resin on tran

dear hobby king i buy this esc with the brushless motor : Turnigy 540L V-Spec Inrunner w/ Impeller 810kv. i dont receive any manual and i can't work it the esc does not have reverce and does not give power to the motor i use a 6v batery with 12amper power. does any one know how to work this esc with this motor? can you give me a manual for the esc? sorry for my english i am from greece.
 RCER88 57 points
Are you running a seperate UBEC? many of the high amp ESC require a ubec or seperate battery to operate the servos and esc. I remove the red wire from the servo connector plug and use a 4.8 volt battery or a seperate ubec then I can run off the lipo. If it is not powering up you probably need a battery or UBEC to operate the receiver and servos.
 ilias1908 2 points
Hi ,yes i have seperate batery for the servo and the esc. i dont use ubec.

with factory settings, esc drives most inrunner watercooled motors well, but if you will use with an outrunner you will have to program by transmiter for timing etc.

Looking for a ESC for my Surge Crusher, would this be a good option? Without having BEC, what part would one suggest I need to install this ESC in Boat?
 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points
You will need a receiver pack or a SBEC. Check out the SBEC's in the related items.
 magg992001 30 points
OK I would get the SBEC, other than that get this ESC or hold out for stock on the Turnigy 120A? Thanks again
 Frank 1 points
If your Surge Crusher is a truck or buggy, you will need a large supply of continuous cold water to keep the ESC cool via the two water fittings or it may overheat in use. As for the BEC, you can run & - wires from your battery to a 5Volt (7805) or 6Volt (7806) voltage regulator with the outputs through a 3 pin plug to your receiver "battery input". No other components are required if running upto 7.4 volt batteries.
