Hobbywing Apps. program?? - RC-Monster Forums

georgec · 07:24 PM

Has anyone else here loaded the Hobbywing apps. program on their PC yet? I loaded it this morning thinking it would be similar to my castle link but OH Boy I couldn't have been more wrong! It installed two desktop icons on my PC the first is the USB link, after opening it I found it to be about as useful as tit's on a Bore Hog (pardon the expression) then I made the mistake of opening the other link for the speed calculator and Holy Moly it was written in what looked like Arabic which I'm sure was telling me that I was a filthy pig loving infidel and would die by the hands of Allah!!!! Not only that but when I tried to close the program it would not again cursing me and my family. I finally had to power down and reboot to close it. Is it just me or is this apps. program truly worthless?

LOL...you express your feelings very well.

I guess thats what one could almost expect trying to say a few bucks by going w/a inferior Co. rather than Castle ?

Hope you get that figured out.

I own two MMM's already and wouldn't trade them for any other esc on the market. Just wanted to try something new. I only hope that there no problems with the esc or motor because I have found that the skepticism I have read about Hobbywing's customer service is not all unfounded as I have sent two emails and this was their response!

bummer man. There is always Tekin to try out.

I have read that they have pretty much ran all the gremlins out of the Rx8 and have read allot of good things about their customer service so that will most likely be my next new esc.

I don't have anything against Hobbywing, or any of the other Chinese brands, Hobbycity, etc. You just have to accept the trade-off between saving money and getting reliable customer support.

I'm finding that to be painfully true

No problems here. I use the Apps program on XP. I actually sold most of my Castles to run EZRuns. No doubt the Castle products are a bit higher quality and materials, but my EZRuns are smoother and they hold up just fine for what I need. I did keep a few Castles for my "insane" rides.

hi,

I have read some good things about the new hobbywing. 10awg wires, kinda waterproof box/shell, and it seems that the conducting paths are more solid, compared to the old one. further, the box can be screwed onto the car.
at least small improvements to the old esc.

that new ezrun/xerun may be an option, if bought at a good shop w/ customer service.

U managed to update? Anyone knows? Where's the link?

I have not tried to update the ESC, I have only been on a few times to play with the settings. Honestly I will probably not update unless some great new feature is added. I love the way my EZRun controllers drive right now.

I buy anything Hobbywing from Hobbypartz.com. These guys want our business; so of course they are doing everything they can to give great customer service and answer any questions. Hell, with the friendly responses I have gotten, I bet they would answer your questions even if you didnt buy from them.

You really get screwed when you buy from the no-name Ebay sellers. They care not where your product is going or what happens to it at any point after the sale.
