Using a Hobbywing ESC Program Card

A short video about how to use the Hobbywing Program Card to make adjustments to your ESC. In this video I show a EZRun Max8 and the card that it came with.

[@Kris.with.a.k_]

Thanks for making this video! Stupid instructions said to use the ESC wire that goes to the receiver. This worked immediately.

[@ScottieDTV]

Nice Job Brother!! With that I'm ready to go!! Thank You!!

[@probosis214]

Thank you, all i need

[@RobertSantos-eq9sf]

Thank you!!

[@BlackCrownRC30]

Just a little info if you look right under the esc fan connector it shows the s+-

[@leolux09]

lol This was a fail. Connected the card to My Quicrun 880 ESC, entered the desired values and had about 5 minutes of runtime, before it smoked and blew out the ESC. Totally fried. Idk what went wrong.

[@Νικόλαος-ο5δ]

Very helpful.

[@terrybrewer2121]

Thankx for the vid was realy helpfull as I was doing the same thing put in backwards just going off the fan wire lol

[@giuseppepavone9867]

hi! Can i use this program card on the hobbywing xerun 120A 2.1?

[@adambg02]

Great video

[@soppdk]

Thanks for the video :) will this work with the ESC in a kyosho mp9e evo ?

[@bakan723]

If it has a hobbywing esc in it yes.

[@JayVipGaming]

Thanks for posting this

[@MrValelove]

Danke

[@ianmillerphotography]

Have tried this and had no luck. Power to card as lines appeared, but nothing after that :(

[@akclan33]

Just bought a new 1800kv Quicrun Se and the card only goes up to item #9. It won't let me adjust drag brake or start punch. My card is the V2 with blue sticker

[@bakan723]

Different escs will have different options. You need to look up what each number is for your specific esc. It should still be able to change all options that are available.

[@robertbeam8669]

Wait....you said put the connector with the wires reversed??? Red on black, etc. I don't think so... positive should be hooked to positive, right?? And neg to neg.

[@bakan723]

It is not going to harm anything to put the wires in the wrong way I have done it many times. The only thing that will happen is the program card won't boot. Just flip it around and it works.

[@robertbeam8669]

@@bakan723 thanks. But, can you clarify? It IS red on red, and black on black, correct?? Update: now my new card won't even turn on. No matter how I plug it in. Plus, it never gave me options for any value over 5! Bad card perhaps?

[@bakan723]

@@robertbeam8669 it has been many months since I made this video so I do not remember off the top of my head. But if I said in the video that it is backwards then I would go with what I said. Also not every item will have values above 5 some do not go above 3. Also it is completely different if you are trying this on a arrma vehicle or something with hobbywing equivalent

[@TheCleaner6969]

Does this work with Ni-MH like the red card?

[@lindalaymian4608]

Hello dear friend thanks for sharing your experience do you have any idea why a hobeywing esc max 8, should burn right after connecting the battery and pressing the button ? it made a voice and after that it first blink red then afew green and after that makes a low sound and doesnt remain solid green. the battery was 6s and no receiver was connected !

[@bakan723]

Connect a reciever.

[@markbaxter5710]

Does anyone know what ett or err means on the programme card

[@joshuacook4955]

Would this work on a spectrum ESC?

[@jimmyv1753]

I have the jlb cheetah and it won’t go past 5 which sucks because nothing worth adjusting before 6

[@bakan723]

Jlb does not use the standard hobbywing menu options. So the numbers you see are not the ones listed. You should try to look up one specific to jlb.

[@jimmyv1753]

@@bakan723 oh. It’s listed as the ezrun hobby wing esc but I think you’re right I’m gonna have to get a different card. I’ve seen some KZbin videos where people use those white cards to do it. I already had the hobby wing card so I just hoped it would work. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it

[@jimmyv1753]

@@bakan723 you think one of the re-label stickers would be accurate?

[@jimmyv1753]

@@bakan723 I figured it out. It’s the label on the back that says car V2 if anyone else asks about the 120 amp cheetah model. The back has the correct settings that match. I used the number of options per setting to figure it out. The numbers on table 2 matched exactly

[@robertsoltesz2211]

Hi! I am trying to program my JLB Speed 3 with programming card but it only allows me to manipulate the first 5 settings. Same if I do it by the set button on the ESC. Why is that no access to the advanced settings?

[@bakan723]

Every ESC is different with this. Hobbywing ones work just like in the vid. Arrma ones have different settings list so you can manage it but you must look at the Arrma available options. For JLB I would look up the specific options that are available for that ESC. I think Arrma only had 4 settings.

[@robertbeam8669]

I have a hobbywing ESC, but it only does 5 settings also. Check the "programmable list", if you have the rc instructions. Just found out my Thunder ONLY has 5 settings I can program with a card.

[@ericdavila787]

I think u need the aplication or the bluetooth one

[@steelman134]

Very usefull thanks!

[@rockman49er]

Crap mine don't have a piece of grass on it will this still work thanks brother

[@Cary1728]

Wanting to use this on a plane-wing that has no fan. What do I plug into ?

[@bakan723]

There should still be 3 pins that a fan can plug into. You plug into these 3 pins.

[@chuito6723]

My ESC has no fan, what can I do? Thank you!!!💪

[@bakan723]

It should still have the 3 pins where you could plug a fan in.

[@sheb5799]

does it come with the wire to connect the program card to the esc?

[@bakan723]

Yes it does

[@jimmyv1753]

Mine did

[@moreletters361]

I’m putting 6s into my rustler. Well see how that turns out

[@designsinorbit]

Do you know where to find a fan for the HW 1100kv?

[@bakan723]

Well for the fan I like to use a company called wild turbo fans. But you will also need a mount. Not sure what size that motor is off hand but maybe try exotek fan mount.

[@bs_shifty_4207]

Hi can someone please tell me i was wondering if this program card will work for my team magic e4d drift car I want to tune the drag break

[@bradywilkes7714]

[@RodEvens]

Gotta work on your camera skills, but thanks so much for doing the video.

[@bakan723]

Yes I most certainly do lol. New to all of this but thanks for watching I hope it helped.
