usb for hobbywing 150

I just purchased a hobbywing 150 from RCM today $99.99
I was wondering if it required a special USB cable or used a normal one like the mamba max??

Thanks in advance for any help

It will need a program box.RCM has them for sale.I dont think it has a USB port like the Castle Mamba Max.

i was waiting for an exchange from nitrorcx for my ezrun 150a, but after seeing that the price on this site was reduced, i will get a refund and buy 1 from RCM. the cs is much better here.

don't get the "normal" programming box. there is a better one available, either on eb*y, or at speed passion.

the "better" one allows you to connect the esc w. the internet, so you can get firmware-updates. I know one who had cogging probs w. his losi 4-pole motor, which disappeared after the update.

Thanks for the quick responses and info. I'll look for that better programming card.

Thanks again all

The "better" programming box has a LCD display. The "normal" box is just LED digits. I only have the "normal" box, and it works great. But I do hope to pick up one of the "better" ones if I can find a good price on them.
