      I see, you are all using the Castle Link USB Programming Kit, aright.

        Right here. :) Have you gents re-calibrated the ESC to the radio after updating the software? This is a must. Also, have you checked the throttle curve, and are you seeing anything weird there? Let me know please.

          Joe thanks for replying to the thread. To answer the question yes I most def re-calibrated after each firmware update and when I reverted back to the older version and I checked the throttle curve to make sure it was linear also. We haven't had the best weather here lately for more testing but I am hoping to update back to the newer firmware version next time out since I have been using the older firmware for a while now. I should be able to make a really good comparison soon.

            so we should be upgrading then? since these arent in air use what should throttle curve be? 0-25-50-75-100 right? Or do you mean just to make sure nothing crazy is goin on?

              Mike Normally they are set linear 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 but there was a issue where they were set to 0 all the way across the throttle curve. This only happened to me once though, just make sure yours is linear and it will be fine.

                    Anyone else with the Castle Link found anything weird on the throttle curve when they plug into the Link?

                            I think I figured it out. It is only a 2 place screen for voltage cutoff so I needed to use the right arrow. what a Pain in the A**

                            I set
                            cut-off voltage= custome 13.2
                            reverse type =no reverse
                            reverse throttle amount =12.5
                            Motor timing = normal
                            start power = normal
                            current limiter=enabled
                            Throttle curve = linear
                            break = linear
                            softwear V 1.3

                            I'm running a 10xl
                            hydra 120

                            on a Mean Machine

                            Do my setting look good???

                                I am in the same boat, fixing up the outside of my house, doing some siding and painting. My poor boats haven't been in the water in ages

                                Anyway the only time I noticed the problem with the T-Curve is when I first updated the the 1.4v firmware. When I went back to 1.3v it is fine. I haven't tried 1.4v firmware since but I do plan to soon.
