Swordfish ESC's

[keithbradley]

You got it.
I used the y harness from the usb linker, hooking it up the same way I would if using the usb plug only plugged that end into the programmer... then plugged the rx pack into the power port on the programmer. Worked perfectly.

If you had used the 4plug lead with 4cells attached it should have worked.
Ive noticed a lack of QC regarding wire allocation to polarized plugs.
Meaning.. the plugs when mated have different color wires joining !
hafta watch these color blind assemblers !

Steve is there any replacement discount or anything on these if they go bad? I just fried my SF 120 today. It worked great, but unfortunately I sub'ed my boat and it filled with water. When I brought it up, the esc had shorted and I now have a stinky boat

It worked great and its totally my fault for getting it wet...just thought I would check and see if there is an exchange discount or anything

SWORDFISH runs cool!

Hey STEVEN borrowed Norms Swordfish 240 last weekend to run in my 70+mph 10S1P X-Era O/R powered 44"Open Hydro a London Canada IMPBA race. It was so easy to run no programing`plug and play' always came in around 130 degree range after 7 laps on 1/6 mile course. Very impressed with smooth thorottle response and overall control at factory auto settings. Great controller for the money!

Glad you liked it Ken. I have had great luck with them.

The Swordfish 120 has been outstanding.
My son and I beat the hell out of a 120 this weekend in his n2 mono.
He was draining a 6500 hyperion 35c pack to 5% in 170-180 seconds. Right at the rating on that esc and it went as smooth as silk. Previously we had only been able to run a Hydra 240 on that setup.

Good running boat and based on my "touch test"...quite a cool running controller

It looks quite different than the Hifei model.

[AustriaAT]

Hm

they write: Compatible with Super-Brain and Monster ESCs.
And at HK the 240HV is listed as an Aquastar Monster.

Please help.

Thanks Albert

Seems like you should give it a shot. Let us know how it goes?

That is a Hifei aircraft controller card. Not sure if it will work with their marine esc's or not.

That card is for the HiFei(Turnigy) Monster2000, the Aero precursor to our new HiFei Swordfish (Turnigy Aquastar) series :)

Communication interface between card and board are different.... latch sequencing does not match.

Use at own peril ! .. ( avoid inhaling the toxic smoke )

This link shows the HC (Turnigy) equivalent for Aquastar... l a relabeled HiFei !!
