I couldn't download off flier, so ordered a programme box with my esc (car esc) works perfectly, very easy to use, it's this thread that led me to order another flier, last one in 2014 was neither use nor ornament, now they have "upgraded" software esc is brilliant, who knows, with so many sprint cats and a performance unlimited raptorcat,tp5850/5860 spare, I might just order the flier boat 400 ampComment

Since you got the esc's used there is no telling what the timing is set at right now. Too bad you don't have the USB linker but go through those instructions and set the timing manually, just be patient as it will probably take a few tries. Manual programming is a drag, I find that after I learn it, it becomes easy but then I have to re-learn it each time I wanna change something! At any rate, keep us in the loop if you need any help and what the outcome is.Comment

I just started using the flier 400 in my mono and they work great. Mine came with the timing at 3 deg. I tried it at 10 deg. and the esc thermaled on the 8th lap.Wait 2 minutes and the boat came back to shore. So I will go back to 3 deg since it worked well there. I'm running a TP 5870 685kv on 10s and a variety of 67 to 70mm props. This is my heat racing boat and with the right prop does 70+ mph. My motor gets a little hot and the packs are warm but the esc is barely warm. This is my new esc for big boats.

It's the white shrink wrap and i get direct from flier. My motor is a Y wind.
By the way, to the guy that said his customer used error running a Y wind on 0 timing. You don't know motors if that is your statement. D winds run best at 0 timing but Y winds run most efficient at 0 timing but do run a little faster with some advanced timing but at the expense of more heat in the controller.This also depends on your boat and set up too.
I asked flier what they recomended for my Y wind and they said they would send the esc ready to go for my motor. I checked the timing and they used custom and set the timing to 3deg. On my Y wind motors it depends on the boat which timing I use. A hydro I use 5 to 10deg because they run loose, but on all my monos I use 0deg timing because they run more wet and I like to use a big prop on them for heat racing. But that's just me.

Programming box or cord?
[
I need either a programming box or the USB cord to program a Flier 400A unit. Can you help?
Thanks,

QUOTE=ls1fst98;678926]I have been a flier dealer and selling via my facebo
ok group for over a year now. Weve had good luck with them. The 250 and 300 have been some of the better units from testing. I personally use the twin 300a in my hpr 135, a paor of 250 in my hpr c5009, and use them in my mean machine and my cheetah single. The 5009 has a pair of tp4070 2200kv and on 5s it cruises nice and cool at mid to upper 80s, best of 87.6 on gps on 5s and anc 1815 props. I will be happy to email anyone a price list and can offer good discounts on 3 or more esc, i also sell car escs[/QUOTE]Comment

To the guy who is a Flier dealer: Do you know if these ESC's are programmed to use AFW mode? That's active free wheeling. It's big with heli guys you use part throttle a lot. It wouldnt be a programmed option, just something included in the firmware... I would really like to use an ESC with that mode in it.Comment

Is afw similar to like a no braking option? I can ask the factory, but i havent seen it.
And yes i can get either a program box or usb lonker, shoot me a pmHPR 135 redemption, HPR C5009, modded zelos 36, 32 boats and counting.
Flier ESC dealer, pm me for details.

AFW is used when the ESC is in the PWM mode. When the upper mosfet turns off, the motor inductance drives the voltage on the motor lead negative, until the body diode of the lower mosfet starts to conduct and clamps off the voltage from continuing negative. The current going thru the body diode instead of the mosfet is what heats up ESC's in part throttle usage. The volt drop of the diode is 5-10 times higher than that of a conducting mosfet.
AFW will turn ON the lower mosfet until the ESC detects the current going close to zero, thus keeping the current out of the body diode. If you use braking, like a car, then the opposite is true. It's the upper mosfet body diode that starts to conduct. Yes please ask the factory. They may call it by something else, but this explanation should get the message across, thanks!Comment
