Help with calibrating a swordfish esc

[Rocstar]

Amazing!! That actually made a huge difference. Thank you.
As far as the max throttle goes, do you get 100% recorded in the logger? I calibrated the esc at 100% throttle and then increased the travel to 130%. Is this necessary after the latest firmware update?

Before the update I had to do the same thing to record 100%. The update is suppose to fix the issue with Spektrum transmitters, but it's still frozen here, so I haven't tested it, but I'm sure it's good to go now.

Thank you kindly. Hopefully it wont be too long before the thaw out.

How did you guys do the update on the esc? There is a link to a download of the update on the hifei site but it does not come up when i attempt to download it. Any tips?

Connect your controller to your computer and open the software. Click on the Upgrade tab....

PM me your email address. I can forward you the upgrade file.

Just sharing a picture of my final setup.
DF33, SF 220 pro+ paired with Castle cap bank, Castle 1520. will be running on 6s1p. Hoping to hit high 50s to low 60s when this winter actually comes to an end.

Your holding the throttle too long. First 3 beeps then release it then they should make 2 beeps to confirm. Also as a previous poster said try soft start, my Neu 1527 will stutter on normal start as well with a futaba radio, but with my castle motors standard start was fine.
I Ran these in a twin cat for over a year no issues.

I'm using the Swordfish Pro Plus with a Hitec Aggressor Pro SRX Spectra 2.4 DS radio setup.
I'm getting 101% throttle according to the Hifei log.
Acceleration is set to soft and responds as expected in a linear fashion.
To make it even more interesting, if I trigger forward to "brake" I get a slow idle of about 2000 RPM.
I've also noticed that if I do "brake", the next squeeze to full throttle is very punchy indeed.
Calibrating is simple and it sounds like you're doing the correct procedure.
I'm thinking your problem may be located in you transmitter settings i.e. End Points (EPA) or EXP (Exponential) adjustment.

FWIW: I have my brake set to 30% - and that's about what I'm getting.
Why use brake? I think it's better to have my prop slowly rotating rather than a dead stop in those "panic" situations.
I'd be interested in getting a copy of the latest Hifei firmware too.
Cheers.
