    It should be able to program something that basic with out a computer. Most crap you can "alter" on a computer is stuff one really don't need, like custom throttle curves/profiles, brake/and drive frequencies, voltage cut off points and the like.
    What brand is it, I'll see can I find some help online, right quick.

    I got a 120A ESC from BrushlessHobbies.com it didn't come with a manual. The only adjustments I can do have to be done via USB. I'll take care of it all after work tomorrow.

    Just drove it around here in the basement a little bit, noticeably smoother than the sidewinder and has a lot more punch off the line. Fan spins much faster, and steering servo seems to have more zap.

    Other than getting it setup being a pain in the ass, I'm pretty satisfied thus far.


    That's it for me tonight though, kiddos. Deuces.

    From the link you posted, under programming. This was copied and pasted straight from there...



    Programming:

    ESC is easily programmed by any of the following means (1) Set button on on\off switch (2) HW program card (3) HW 2 in 1 box (4) USB Flash/Programmer...the only way to go and right on your computer screen. The number of setting options presented adjusts to type of motor used and software data base selected.
    Multiple protection features: Low voltage cut-off protection/ Over-heat protection/ Throttle signal loss protection/ Motor jammed protection.

    Splash proof and dust proof

    Looks great how's it run? But again, it doesn't matter which two wires are switched, you can NOT swap any two and not change the rotation of the motor.

    D'oh, didn't see the vid at the bottom. Looks quick, not sure about speed. On another note y'all fellows kill me running on paved surfaces. I would never run my off-road tires a inch on tarmac. I've got some street tires (Speed Hawgs, I think) for that. One pack on asphalt/concrete and a nice set of soft compound off-road tires are shot.

    short course tires are 2.2 on the outside bead but 3.0 on the inner bead to clear all the hubs and what not.

    heres a pic of the pather tires. I already have a set mounted on associated sc8 wheels.

    I knew that, just had forgotten, got schooled at the last "real" race I went to. But the thread part is pretty much the same, correct?
