hydra 120 amp esc

What ESC do you have. I also noticed that there is no option for 1.03 with my HV esc but my older Hydra 120 and 240 both allow me to switch back to 1.03. I am in the process of asking Joe at Castle to make 1.03 available to us or possibly re-work 1.04.

Hydra 120 HV ( Rev. June 08).
I like your idea - although, I do not understand what the firmware differences in detail are - I read many posts recommending switching "back" to 1.03 - so I am not exactly sure what I am asking for, but I grab for stars just to get back the boat back to the lake...crap, by mistake I just reloaded 1.04 onto my controller - the process was interrupted in the progress - now it locks (no communication! ) - shoot - still I guess it is a good idea to have access to both firmware versions available.

is everyone disabling the center red wire? or has Castle changed the configuration to allow it to remain with 4s and above?

On the reg Hydra controllers you have to remove the red wire on the esc to run 4s and above but on the HV controllers you leave the red wire in the esc...there is no BEC anyway so there is no need to disable it.

the HV series are opto isolated you need a BEC or Rx pack to power the brain board....you need this to even program the esc its the same as the hv series for planes
