Final

06-27-2014

Here we release new firmware "V3.2_140627_Beta" for XeRun-120A-V3 ESCs, this new firmware mainly improved the following aspects:
1. Comparing with the previous version, it can bring better low-speed power while less heat to the motor when activating the Boost & Turbo timing;
2. Fixed the short-time weak brake effects after a quick full brake operation with the option "maximum brake force" set to 75% or above.

Final

11-30-2013

Here we release new firmware "V103_130806-Beta" for XeRun-150A, XeRun-SCT-PRO, EzRun-150A, EzRun-WP-SC8 ESCs, and following improvements have been made on the former version:
1 Excellent low-speed startup greatly improved the linearity.
2. The acceleration is much quicker than before. The new firmware eliminates the discontinuous speed jump in the old firmware, now the control feeling in sensorless mode is very similar to the control feeling of sensored brushless system.
3 Compatibility with Tenshock sensored motor has been observably improved.
4. Supports motors with higher KV. The new firmware solves the trembling problem occurs to some high RPM multi-poles (>=4 poles) motors at partial throttle.
5. The new firmware is "SAFER" than the old one.
a) It doesn’t allow the neutral throttle point to coincide with the full throttle point, while the old firmware allows user to set them to a same point. Therefore, the new firmware eliminates the possibility of unexpected full-speed running when the ESC is switched on. Undoubtedly, it makes the whole system safer for users and crowd nearby.
b) When the ESC is switched on, the motor can be started ONLY if the ESC detects the throttle signal is correct and in the neutral range. If the throttle signal is out of the neutral range, then the motor cannot be started. This also makes the entire system more secure for RC car drivers and people close by.

("Beta" will be shown in the version name only if the ESC is connected to a LCD program box and a laptop. )

130511 | Final | 05-13-2013 | 1. Database is updated to version 130511, which includes the new firmware for XeRun-150A and XeRun-SCT-PRO ESCs.

111011

Final

10-11-2011

The Firmware database of the car ESC has been updated to the latest Version 111008.
1. Two versions of firmware named "V3.0_110930_MOD" and "V3.0_110930_STOCK: are available for the following ESCs:
XeRun-120A (V2.0), XeRun-60A (V2.0), XeRun-120A (V2.1), XeRun-60A (V2.1), Xtreme STOCK
a) "V3.0_110930_MOD" is an improved version of firmware based on "V3.0_110119_MOD"; the new firmware has been updated to improve the fault tolerance of the signal quality of the Hall sensors on the sensor PCB of brushless motors.
The old firmware was found to be too sensitive to any small change of the sensor signal, in turn causing the ESC to frequently switch its running mode from sensored to sensorless. The new firmware is not as sensitive as the older version, so the ESC can still operate in sensored mode even if the signal has slight changes in amplitude from small error, that may eventually help Mod motors which have very large current flows which cause the signal on the sensor PCB of the motor to change frequently and result in evitable errors .
b) "V3.0_110930_STOCK" is a new version based on "V3.0_110211_STOCK", which has the same improvements as above.
2. New firmware named "V3_508_No Timing" is also applicable to the JUSTOCK ESC. The improvements are as follows:
a) For finer adjustment, options under the "Maximum Brake Force" has increased from 4 to 8.
b) The new firmware has been updated to improve the fault tolerance of the signal quality of the Hall sensors on the sensor PCB of the brushless sensored motor’s.
3. New firmware named "111011_2R" is applicable for the following ESCs:
XeRun-80A, XeRun-150A, XeRun-SCT Pro
a) "111011_2R" firmware improves the fault tolerance of the signal quality of the Hall sensors within the sensor board of brushless motors.

1.92 | Final | 03-10-2011 | The latest firmware "110211_stock" is released. Team Hobbywing won the Open Brushless Racing in TITC 2011 with this firmware.
