Hydra 120 Programming?

[kacordy]

Hey guys, looking for some suggestions. I need to buy a new ESC that is usable. This 120 is driving me crazy. It's pure insanity. I cannot figure out and get stuck in the programming mode. Now it keeps beeping and then the motor turns on wide open all by itself.

I'm looking for an ESC for my Mr Krabbs, 4s, that is plug and go. No more stick programming. Safe, logical, and easy to use.

Thanks for your help,

Allen

Yes Sir

do you not have a castle link

Castle link makes things easy, I could never program without it. Are you sure your RX isn't malfunctioning?

[MAMBA2200]

it is a must have item i have one and dont even have a castle system anymore but im sure one day i will lol

This is a photo of the ESC. It was made in 2007.

I found that my car ESC made around that time will only respond to Windows XP, had to revive my 2003 computer for that operation, lol...
Don't know if it only happens to car ESC. Don't mean to go off topic.

Buy a t120 and program card, easy, cheap!

Peter, I don't see on this unit where you plug in anything so it can be programmed. Thanks for the reply. Allen

best thing to do is buy the castle link ,im sure there in the offshore shop .download the software from the internet (use google to find it) then after installed plug the lead that normally goes in reciver into the usb link and make your adjustments on the PC easy easy .................

I bought this ESC in a used boat. I ordered the castle link based on everyones suggestions. I will program and get back on the water soon. Thanks, Allen

I have hydra 240's but I think the programming is the same-- I use the TX (no card)-- but if yours is entering programming mode, it could be because your TX throttle trim is off too much-- try brining it to neutral first. Also check that the throttle channel is in the right direction-- it may need to be reversed.
