1st heat software problem car has max drag brake, managed to reset.

2nd heat batt died, I used a 4s 5000 zippy set 4s manually on d esc but still one cell died. Dunno izzit batt problem or esc

3rd heat completed with no problem

At the Main batt pop out becoz it was a 6s n was not secured properly, fix n tried to run then found out d switch was cut by my spur gear. Tried to connect the black n red wire but can't start d esc. Din want to try d white wire in case the esc gets burnt.

So far I m ok with d esc change all setting except punch, esc ran cool. Need to find out how to undo the drag brake though.

Did you play around with the timing? how did you get the lastest firmware version?

mine 150a ezrun esc is running great so far on my e-revo.
i have tried with 4s and 6s with a feigao 9 xl on track and lately i tried a sensored novak hv 5.5. and runs great too.
in my opinion beat the mamba monster because is much more easy to use and program.

that's good to hear, I m currently running wo a switch, my spur rip d switch off. Just be careful with the temp of feigao motors recomended not over 80degrees

my feigao it runs a litlle hot but nothing too hot until now.
the esc runs cool all the time.
here in portugal i have 4 friends with e-revos and all with these esc´s(thank´s to mee!!) and until now none brun or broke and two are 80 amp version.

so for the great price they are real good.

the service is good too. I fried the motor during the first test run. It was kinda hard to contact them, but with help from superek4 I managed to get a hold on Jack. After showing the pic of the magnet and telling the story they offered a new motor for free. I only have to pay for the shipping which imo is very reasonable.
So great service!

Mine 150A just died today.Lasted 3 weeks.
First motor stopped ...then go ....then stop again...loaded a fresh lipo pack...then puffff.... lots of smoke comming from the esc.
Thats great,at first 80A smoked then 150A smoked also.
This was powered by 4S lipo and recently I've loaded latest firmware from HW.
They should rename their escs to Hobbywing Fireworks

I believe I will pay a little more and get a Tekin.

thank´s for the tip but i have a race next week and i need the esc, i will try to fix it my self with my litlle experience.

Yes, I m using a medusa in fact it's better just remember not to set d punch to zero, no drag brakes n put a fan on the motor.

my batteries are not much strong on discharge capabilities and i really like the novak hv 5.5 sensored i´ve run on track...
now i am on a indecision in what motor to choose....
i still continue with novak, feigao or medusa in my mind....
but for 4 s and weak batteries and longer run times on track what you advise?

I burnt 2 feigao they r cheap but 2 poles can't last in high temp. Medusa is a better n cheaper option compared to Neu. I race with my medusa n they hv lasted n r good in customer service.

I run 10mins heats n 30min mains no problem with my 4s 5000 zippy. How long r ur race n wat car r u using?
