    Default Programming Seaking ESC?

    I am running 6S. Should i use auto detect or set #3 says 3cells (6 cells) Does that mean 3 or 6 cells?
    i will probably do 3.4 low voltage and 15degree timing and forward only just in case i need it....
    BEC disconnected u still need to plug in power pack and lipos to ESC?

    Don't use auto. Manully program. The first number is for LV esc's i.e the 120/180 the (x) number is for the HV esc's. i.e 80amp HV. What exact seaking do you have?


    So setting 3 is:
    3s on the 120 & 180
    6s on the 80HV
    * Timing depends on which motor you are running. 15 is great on a y wind, but may heat things up on a d wind. Which motor you running?

    * Yes if the bec is dis-abled you need to still plug in your lipos and you will need a rx pack.

    I have the Seaking 180 with Leopard 4082 1500Kv. Running 6S lipos.
    Setting 1 is 2 forward and reverse(i will only use if needed)
    Setting 2 is #3 for 6S
    Setting 3 is #5 3.4V/cell or maybe #4 3.2V cell
    Setting 4 is # 5 15 degree timing

    Dump the reverse.

    # 3 on a 180 is not 6s it's 3s. You need to change to setting # 6 on the 180 for 6s. The 180 is not a HV esc, there for the number in () is not applicapable to that esc.

    I run 3.2v per myself.

    15* is good for that motor, its a y wind

    Ok, #6 says 6cell (12 cell). That's what setting I want to run 6s?
