So will u be getting a one to one replacement?

just an open question to anyone that has had a failure:
how many of you have had the esc`s firmware upgraded to the latest version before it fried?

[we need to see if the last two firmware updates fixed the issue].

I don't know which version my esc was on. But I had it for only 2 weeks.

I've got two questions for you: 1. How can I tell which firmware my HW 80A ESC is running? 2. How do I upgrade the firmware on the ESC when there is a new version? Thanks

BTW: My HW 80A is still running strong in my Rustler. A little too strong, it keeps killing driveline parts. Thats the type of failure that still puts a smile for some reason. lol

the hw link is pretty much like castle link [for the time being, only the throttle/brake curves are missing].
to use it, you will need hobbywing`s 'program box', which serves as a portable programming card/box and a usb link to your computer [for firmware upgrades,etc].

the program [hw link] will tell you what version of firmware you have, and will also automatically check for any updates online.

It looks differnt. If it's the advanced box that I need, where would I pick one up? Ebay?
