      I sent it to you but it was rejected by your server.
      I will try to zip the file and send it again. Let me know if you dont get it in an hour.

        Steven, this video tutorial you made was great!
        You should have one done to each ESC you carry and to whatever needs a tutorial
        under your "tips" section.

        Great stuff...

          actually you do not have to wait until the end of those beeps - just hold throttle until it starts beeping :-)
          At the end you'll hear the number of cells detected

          http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/dow...40hvManual.pdf

          se page 3 for more details

          One important info: throttle range sometimes needs to be calibrated after changing ESC's settings.

          By the way - the fast startup mode is awesome especially for competition.

                ok got the software installed and when I have device manager open and see the uart bridge controller it says i'm on com6

                and the software only has com1 com2 com3 com4 ...there is no com6 in the software

                any fix?

                  try com3 :-)

                  I had almost the same problem.... so I tested each port.
                  Procedure is simple: choose other ports and hit "open" button (and wait for green light)
                  In my case only com3 was ok (even if it's not shown in device manager)
                  hope it helps

                      Yes you can change the port on your pc, just make sure its not conflicting with something else trying to use the same port.

                        Hey steve, bustitups son-in-law here. If running 44+ volts should i set the voltage to 36volts when i program it or leave it on auto? And is there a way to program the esc to run only 90% or can it only be only be done with my controler .
