On the small CD that came with the ESC are all the directions.

Thanks, There are no directions to program by Transmitter! Only card or usb Stick. I didn't get either one because listing said it could be programed by Transmitter. Took a chance and ran it last night, Real FAST for a couple seconds, then it shuts Down. I pulled the SK 180 out of my Genesis. I can run it while I'm waiting on a way to program the sword fish.

the esc is supposed to auto detect the cell count, but it does not. the low voltage cutoff is shutting it down. i recommend the lcd programmer. the usb stick is a pain to use.

That's what I needed, I was going to get the usb! Now I know. I have the lcd programmer for my SK 180, but it programs with the Transmitter No problem. this one won't Thanks, Henry

i had the same problem. the program card will work but there are more options with the lcd programer. make sure your water cooling has good flow.

I have a 240A HV. Couldn't get the program box or USB linker to work. I worked with someone from Hifei, they sent me another program to use to upgrade the firmware on the ESC. Once I did that both the program box and USB linker worked OK. Instruction can be found here... http://www.hifei.com/#!swordfish-esc/cidm or here... http://www.hifei.com/#!swordfish-plus/cw4j depending on your model.

Thanks Guys, I guess I will go with The Box and USB linker. That way if I need to upgrade the Firmware. I will be Ready. I already loaded the software to my Laptop. Had the boat out yesterday w/SK 180a Leo 4082 1600Kv 2x3 5000Mah 50c it ran 50MPH. about the Same as Stock. But still running the Stock Prop 1.6x40.6, I Think I have a lot of Headroom for Larger Prop. Everything ran cool! I can run it this way till I get the Swordfish ready, Then finish setup and start playing with Props. Henry
