Hi guys, I just received my Turnigy AquaStar 120A controller and the USB linker, but no software... Contacted HK and still no answer. Any ideas where I might find the software for this? I've been looking at the links that Sailr posted for the chinese producer... the usb linker seems to be identical, but no software there either...
Please help!

have you plugged it in yet?,just wondering if it has a program built in as it looks like it maybe a memory stick as well

I tried, there is nothing on the stick, it probably needs a driver or something... I still have to try to connect it with the ESC, battery and motor, but somehow I think it won't work... The Pulso 100A I got came with a CD and it was the same until I installed the software.

I have a question, is this new aquastar from turnigy, replacing the seaking/turnigy marine escs? I see they still sell the turnigy marine 120, 80a etc.

I personally have had great luck with the 90a seaking/turnigy marine and 120a seaking/turnigy marine.

The Aquastar is not the same as the turnigy/seaking. I think maybe the Aquastar is from Hifei but not sure. I'd have to go to the Hobbyking site and look it up.

which in your opinion would be a better esc between the aqua and turnigy?

No idea actually. I have used the Turnigy (Seaking) and it is great. Haven't used an Aquastar.

Cool can't wait to get my USB stick and try it out on the Monster2000 200amp esc.

The 2000 monster is HiFei also and is SUPPOSED to be USB supported.

Thanks for pointing to the software link!!!!

The aquastar is supposed to be made by HIFEI according to the software. These units are stout. They are huge with 4 35v 470 caps, three boards with the cooling plate inbetween the fet plates. Software is easy to use and like that it has an auto calculate for the cell count on the LVC. Very nice units at a very nice price!

I bought a aquastar 120amp a few weeks ago for my ul-1 project. I bought the program box with it which is very nice i might add. Hopefully I can get some runs with it this weekend.
