Hobbyking SS Heli Series 70-80A ESC w/UBEC (USA Warehouse)
The Hobbyking SS series comes with a limited range of programming functions and are designed to be plug-n-play. A perfect ESC for those looking for something simple to use and economic.

I have it programmed at 15 on my HK500GT with 4S 3000 mAh. It is recommended that you leave it at default value or middle setting,but you can always experiment with different settings. If you have a watt/amp meter it will help so you can physically see the difference.
I doubt it as these ESC's are very basic and do not use a card for programming,they are very easy to programme via the transmitter stick. Anyone else any experience or views on these ESC's and programme cards?
Thanks Gary, I thought I was going to by-pass the old TX method.......lol. So the TX is the way to program? Well thank you sir, I will give it a shot. Just hope my old brain don't screw up on the beeps and tones.....lol. Take it easy and thanks again.
This esc only has 4 program options not 6 and no instructions anywhere on the site.6 option instructions must not be the same because I cant get a soft start
I have this mounted in a piper cub and it works perfectly. And I have had it in my HK 450 so works in both. Brake and soft start mode are fully adjustable to suit either model
Anyone know where I can find the programing instructions for this. Somehow mine got reprogramed to slow start and I dont know where to start to reprogram it......HELP!
Never mind......I found the instructions. Now can someone tell me why I only have 4 programing options instead of 6 like the manual says I should have. I cant change the timing or anything else past option 4.........anyone????
hey galaxy the reason is the esc is designed to be plug and play fot those who want to fly asap and dont need a lot of mumbo just to get flying..I believe it states that in the description also I believe all SS series esc are set that way. Like I its designed for someone who dosent want to do a lot of fiddling...with just some adjustments if you want. Hope this answers you
I bought this esc for a hi 450 I am building and now I am about to program it. First question - is there a program card or box for this model so I don't have to listen to beeps and chirps? Second-I am using a Turnigy 450/500 H2223 Brushless outrunner 4400KV. What is the recommended timing for this motor? I'm assuming 30 deg. If it matters I'm only running 3s for power to it.
I've been using these for 2 years and they've been solid. Take the shrink wrap off and put esc in airflow cause when these FETs heat up they become pretty intolerant.
