Is drag brake determined by the esc or by the motor?

Both. ESC resistance and programming will determine how strong it is, and the motor construction will determine the peak value that can be obtained at the rpm the motor is spinning.

I just read through this thread and I am wondering do these ESC's work with standard brushed motors.

So i googled, haha and I found that this ESC does not support brushed motors. That is for future reference for anyone shopping for these setups. http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...hed-motor.html Is where i found the information. Post #6 apparently straight from the horses mouth. |

Anyone having issues with this ESC not wanting to go into forward after going into reverse? I can be crawling just fine and if I go into reverse then try to go forward again, I have to push the trigger from neutral to forward SEVERAL times before it will finally go. And then, when it does, it's full throttle. I have tried reprogramming the forward-neutral-reverse sync with my radio as well as changing the CH2 from REV (as suggested by the manual) to NOR then switching two wires on my Holmes Hobbies Revolver Black. It exhibits the same problems, but this time when trying to go into reverse. I have the program card and have verified that I have it programmed for the reverse crawl mode. It's acting like the old "double pump" reverse, but even worse because it's not just once that I have to "pump" it. I'm running this on a 2.2 BMVII that's pretty light powered by a Sky Lipo 40C 2S 1300mah battery. I'm also using a T-Pro MG996 servo that currently does not have a BEC, but has a Novak GlitchBuster (I think that's what it's called) ran off of the ESC. This unpredictability of this ESC is making me want to go back to my Rebel II and 55T brushed. I LOVE the Revolver, but this ESC is another story. |

I have run into the same thing. Sometimes the thing works flawlessly and other times it won't go into forward just like was mentioned earlier. Then Saturday it stopped working all together. The next day I plugged everything back in to try and troubleshoot it... worked fine. I'm done with this ESC, it just isn't dependable. (even though my brother has the same setup and has NEVER had a problem)

| Re: Hobby Wing EZRUN crawler system
I ended up getting rid of my issues by buying a Turnigy Advanced 2-in-1 programmer. This allows you to connect the ESC to a PC much like the CastleLink or TekinWire. From there, I was able to download and update with the lastest firmware. This completely removed my issues. FYI...the Turnigy 2-in-1 is the exact same thing as the Hobbywing unit. I went with the Turnigy unit because HobbyPartz never seemed to have them in stock. HobbyKing had the Turnigy for just a bit less and they were in stock. Hope that helps you all out. |

I bought the program card from hobbypartz and have programmed it several times. Still have problems. Brake works great though.

Do you have this one? LED Program Card For Brushless ESC Or this one? HobbyWing 2-in-1 Advanced Professional LCD Program Box You need the second one in order to be able to download and flash the firmware on the ESC. This is the one I have, but it seems that now HobbyKing is out of stock. HobbyKing R/C Hobby Store : Turnigy 2 in 1 Professional Program Box for Brushless ESC |

I have the first one. Didn't know you could update the firmware. Wish I'd known that before I bought it.

Yes, you can update the firmware using the 2-in-1. Well worth the extra cost, especially if you are having issues. You can also adjust a lot of stuff, similar to the program card through the software. The one big thing that is missing that I would like to have is throttle curves. Appears that biggest issue right now is finding one. At least with HobbyKing, you can register your email to obtain updates on stock. So, as soon as some come in you will be notified. |

The eBay ones don't ship from USA. Just a heads up. I'm still waiting. :(. And I paid MORE than they are at hobbypartz etc. :(

Funny, mine does not always go into reverse...I'll have to try the firmware update. ESC is nice and smooth, but agree that the motor is weak. Torque seems fine, just doesn't have any wheelspeed on 2s. Just ordered a revolver to beef it up a bit.

The motor definitely isn't what you would consider "crawler" grade. I have my 35A ESC matched with a Revolver Black in my custom comp crawler (The Mirage...) and it is a great combo with an ABUNDANCE of torque. Doing a quick Google search for "Hobbywing 2-in-1", I found this site which appears to be in the US that seems to have these in stock.
