Hi Brother. I hope that all is well with you and your Family! Wonderful video, as always. I will send you the User Manual for the Hobbywing Program Box to your Messenger Account. Looking forward to the next video in the HW ESC Series. I've heard different things... should I use the Governor from my iKON 2 FBL Unit (more have recommended this) or use the Governor on my Hobbywing ESC? Cheers,Stay Safe and Stay Healthy Freddy and your entire Family ❤🙏❤. Talk to you soon! Larry.
Align motors don't have any info on motor timings .I'm running stock 1600kv motor on a 500x with hobbywing 100a esc on 15 degree ,motor seems tad warm .is that ideal setting,maybe you might know answer.
A friend of mine gifted me an XL Power 550 from Arizona, another friend of mine completed the final setup/curves etc.etc., and after flying around for a few minutes the ESC. Overheated, went into heat sink mode and I've not flown my heli since, I have tried to use the programming box with no luck ??? Help please ?
Hi mate can you run this in a 5th scale car? Or is it just mearnt for the helicopters, also I did not see the on/off switch like the rest of Hobbywing staff, how do you turn it on? cheers.
The esc is activated when powering on the main pack. Ummmm as for a car??? honestly I am not sure however I would say probably no because they have there Heli line of ESC that have Heli specific features like this one.
Thanks mate I have programmed the esc same as you and updated the firmware via my pc. Now I plug in the box and a screen full of squares? Even when I test my Lipo screen full of squares? Any advise would be fantastic - Geoff
I would try to do the update again, if you issue keeps happening I would revert back to the old versions and see if it still happens. If it does you may have to call them to see if there is a tec issue :(
I was just curious as to what you might suggest for timing if I can't find the timing specs for my motor. I just got the new Align Trex 650x and it came with a 800mx 440kv motor and I can't find the timing specs for it anywhere.
I did find the specs for a scorpion 5025-440kv and it has the same number of poles and stator arms as the align motor. It says 5 degrees for the timing of the scorpion motor. Do you think that’s a good place to start?
Hey Glenn so sorry for the late reply me and my family have been moving to a new home. So usually if you cannot find the spec just use the default timing. Do a test flight and then check motor temp, if its to hot you can lower the timing and if its super cool you can increase the timing for better performance. But honestly I have very rarely had to change the timing.

@@33forsaken thank you so much for getting back to me and no need to apologize, I completely understand. I will give it a try then do as you suggested if need be. Thanks again
Hi buddy, thank you very much for your very nice info. I bought a Trex 550X super combo with ESC align 100A. I am learning the autorotation maneuver and I noticed that the engine does not restart immediately (at the end of auto) : if I make a mistake there is the risk of crashing. So if I understand correctly, I can disable the function at point 10 of the menu, so i can immediatly restart the motor and avoid crash. It's correct? I hope for your advice. Stay safe. Greetings from Italy
yes so there is a timing delay to where if you hit throttle hold you have so many seconds to come off and the head will ramp back up to the RPM within a certain speed. Once throttle hold has been on after that set amount of time, then it will default back to slow start up.
Its brilliant you doing this as was able to understand and check my HW 120 that came with the 550.. Can you tell me I bought a beastX and separate Spec rx Was told that the AR7200BX which I wanted was not available anymore? thus, with the Beast X it suggests with a separate RX you can NOT get the beast X and speed controller to work as governor, , even though I bought a Beast X/governor adaptor cable is this correct? Thank you again look fwd to more
Yes you would have to bypass the HW gov and use an external gov for this situation. However the HW gov is one of the best I have ever used so I recommend using it for sure. I will have the calibration and GOV setup videos done soon.
Freddy; User Manual sent. As I explained to you in a different video, my Pulse Defender didn't come with the Pulse Battery and they didn't have any in stock so I bought a Gens Ace 450 mAh 20c Battery. Will this affect my values when the ESC shuts down? Thanks again, Larry.
Great video Freddy. I'm also running the HW 200 on my 700X. Just wondering if you've had any problems where if you're using the governor, soft spool wont work.
All good stuff love it . I wish you could hold programer so we could all see it . Rest it on a stand so you do not have to move it and camera can read it.
@@33forsaken On most esc's the (PMW) Pulse width modulation is programmable for use with different motors . 8KHz / 12KHz / 18KHz etc. On my Hobbywing 130amp Hv Platinum esc there is no such adjustment?
Hey Freddy how you doing ? Thanks for putting this video out there, I am new at this, setting up and recalibrating the throttle curves on the platinum ESC with the programming box, I have plugged in battery and then the little plug in from the ESC to the programming box but the programming box does not light up, am I missing a sequence ???
Hey buddy. Been about a month since my last comment. Your somewhat of a minor celebrity at the airfield(Markham Park) where i fly my helis. I tell fellow pilots to try and promote your channel. I know UA-cam pays. But do you have merch shop as to where i might purchase a shirt or bumper stickers if they are available. Please and thanks from a fellow pilot student and fan.
Hey bro thanks so much for the comment and kinds words. I am in the works on the rest right now, I will have some FreddyCanFly blades available for 550 size helps, some magnet tool trays and shirts and stickers here soon.
@@33forsaken please keep me posted. My one heli i fly the most out of(you can basically fly it anywhere) is the Blade 230s v2. Man if i can get the Freddy Can Fly logo on my blades. That would be the ultimate upgrade. Also just found out they discontinued the 360 cfx. I like Blade helis. Well I'm thinking about stepping it up a bit. I'm thinking between the 300 or the 470 bnf Align. My Dx9 is on order as we speak. Your thoughts. Thanks for all your helpful videos. A loyal fan.
Great video series! Looking forward to part 2 of the esc setup. Will be a big help in the next few days when I build my T-Rex 760X with the same esc
I am working on it and trying to get it up. If you have any questions feel free to message me on FB or on here brother.
Very nice info Freddy, I am learning a lot from this build.
Thanks buddy I am working my butt off the keep up the content.
I have that hobbywing programmer for my rc cars. Wondering if it will connect to the hobbywing esc in my longboard.

They both work very very well, however I would still use the HW all day.
@@33forsaken Thanks Freddy, good to know! ❤🙏❤
Do you have info on hobbywing and vbar neo setup using vbar governor I’m completely stumped on the setup

Is this only for Helis? Or can I use this on a fix wing aircraft??
Yes, it has a select menu to go heli or aircraft.

@@33forsaken Thank you Freddy for the info will research external gov
Freddy are you on Helifreak? Is there a way that we could chat over the phone? I love your channel and want to support your venture!
yea just add me on facebook buddy you can IM me any time for sure !

You should be ok its only 50 less MAH. If you ever have a shut down just land ASAP.

Can't run the governor on fbl and on the esc. If that helps.
What happend with pwm? I thought that was also an option.
All good stuff love it . I wish you could hold programer so we could all see it . Rest it on a stand so you do not have to move it and camera can read it.
Yes sorry the LED screen turned out much brighter then I planned for.
Why is there no Pwm adjustment?? Thanks

A word of advice do not buy a hobbywing speed controller! they have no technical assistance to help you.. .
