Thanks for the info (& thanks for the response to my other post re not needing the fan in 2wd). I've read a few posts on here from guys saying that downloading firmware has knackered their Xcelorin speedos, so having not even used mine yet I'm a bit reluctant to do it!! Should I be concerned?

I don't see why you should be concerned, all of my speedos were upgraded today and all took the new firmware with no issues. The software is now a new programme, V2, and should be a lot better. When plugging in the speedo make sure the software says the ESC is connected and if you are concerned just keep an eye on it for a couple of mins and make sure it doesn't drop out before you d the upgrade, ive not that ive had that problem though.
I used the new software today in 2wd and it makes the speedo feel much nicer and has sorted out any of my previous issues.

Super, thanks for the reply Ian. You know how it is when you read stuff like that on a forum...

Cheers for the heads up Ian, did both of mine today with no problems at all.

I have tried but failed the software is in my documents but when I try to install it my computer blocks the install so I cant update firmware if that makes sence. I think it is my anti virus from AVG but I cant turn it off so I will keep it as it is unless one of you computer people can help cheers.

Spen.

You cant install the programme or the firmware? You upgrade the firmware from inside the programme.

Sorry Ian I am computer iliterate I downloaded the program from the Losi websit which went into my docs as an icon. When I click on update firmware on the losi program and type the file name it is not there (D01012806.LSC) I think that it need installing from my docs it starts installing from the wizzard but my antivirus flashes up and stops it loading. I have uninstalled the old program as it says the new program is there as when I clickon about it is all there as it is supposed to be.

No - it was a real problem that happened to an experienced racer, I started racing in 1978!
I would not post if it was not a genuine occurance, the fact that it also happened to another user at my club, totally independently, gave me reason to post.

Just downloaded the new software and the new firmware, will try the new firmware upload during the week and if everything goes OK will post to that fact

Hi,
i have just bought the losi esc with the 6.5 motor,which firmware do i update to my esc?

Cheers simon

the dec 08 one. You need the software and firmware. The CD in the box is only to install the usb adaptor, do NOT install the software on the CD.

You just need to double click the firmware file.

I think you will have to temporary disable avg to get it to install. You can do this by opening the AVG user interface and double clicking the resident shield option and then unchecking the 'Resident Shield active' box. Then click save.

Install the software and then follow the above and ensure the tick is put back in the box for the 'resident shield active'.

I usually only do this if I've disconnected from the internet first.

Come and see me on Sunday and i'll update it for you

I will try what Zipper has said and if that doesnt work i will see you on sunday cheers Brian. I will still need to get the program onto my computer so that I can change settings as you will only be installing it onto the speedo wont you Brian?

If you have a laptop get someone to install it on there?
If only a computer after setup it can be generically setup with base settings.

To be honest I don't change my settings at all now they have been the same since Southport National, 2 weeks after I changed over to it.

Well uploaded the new firmware with no problems today:D
So I thoroughly recommend everyone to download version 2 of the computer software, as this seems to have fixed the firmware update problem that happened with version 1

Good to hear. :thumbsup:

Hi guys,

Just read through the instructions from the Losi website. As I understand:

Remove Setup v1
Download Setup v2 & install onto PC
Download new firmware (v2.8 Dec 08)
Click "update Firmware" in the Xcelorin setup programme & select the appropriate file.

Is that right?

When I try to install Setup v2 onto my PC I get some error messages saying that there is a problem copying some files:
mfc42.dll
CP210xManufacturing.dll
Losi.exe

Unless I select "Ignore" to these error messages I can't get the new Setup v2 to install.

Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
