Hi guy's just received my programming card but with no instructions. Sure it's not rocket science but when I power up card and connect esc it only gives me options of default or arrow across to program. When I arrow across its a blank screen. What am I doing wrong? Does it need lipos connected? I'm used to the easy seaking.. Lol

Buy the way I'm running 4s into a 1521.

Thanks in advance.

I have the usb, just thought having the program card would be a smart idea when at the pond...

Man, If your ever up for a run, give us a yell. I am at Currimundi. I normally just go for a thrash in the lake solo. I coudn't believe how little it went for. Back to the speedy, I had a similar problem, it turned out the speedy had the firmware erased. I just ordered another usb and apparantly it should re install the firmware so I am just waiting for it to turn up now. If this is the case I will let you know and swing it around for you to give it a crack. Cheers Gus

Mate I'm on oceanic drive warana. I have USB and disc if you want to borrow. Phone is 0405500229.. Just wanna get this program card sorted.. Ps salt water is bad, you'll have to come down to our club on Sunday. From 9 till around 2. Lakeside raceway. On one of the dams in the complex.. Or lake baroon, just have retrieval kayak or boat. I run minn Kota and inflatable boat. Fits in boot. No fossil fuel allowed on lake. Another good lake at buderim, until neihbours complain of your 90 mph saw boat..

I'll be there Tiny, I brought my boat of one of your club members Anto, it's his old white cat. And then I meet Luke(fast and furious racing) and he helped me out otherwise I would still have a mantle piece(the boat that is). I got 2 of these swordfish speedy's and they have been nothing but a headache but luckily Luke got it cracking for me. Im still having issue but it works for now. Anyway mate, thanks and good luck. See you on Sunday. Gus

Don't use the USB you are asking for trouble. If you don't read swordfish 200 in the display you may have the polarity wrong turn the little reciever plug around. Should work. If not you can always buy mine in the for sale section it works ... :)

By the way no rx pack on the box as the 200 has bec. Only use lipo it has to read sf200 in the display
