Can anyone tell me if the HW v2.1 120amp is boostable?
If so how?
I am struggling lol
Thanks

Hi Steve
I have the program box
And the latest software from HW
But when I plug it all in the lap top will only adjust the esc and not the program box
Odd?

[s22jgs]

probably teaching you to suck eggs, but you can change which device you update on the software.

It doesnt need to be plugged into laptop to change the ESC settings, just put the wire from esc into the car and power the car up. Just press the OK button every time u make a change so it saves it

Cheers Steve
I think I tried that but will try again
Thanks

I've just found out there are two types of program boxes
Mines the older one
The 2 in 1 type
So now am I right in thinking I need to look for an older software update?
I have version V3.2 installed on my laptop
Thanks

[s22jgs]

No it should be fine

Start over, what u trying to do?

If the 2 in 1 box is a small black box with 4 buttons on the front and it says 2 in 1 professional program box then It is the correct box.
You do need the right soft ware for the ecs. I run the 211 stock on my H/W 2.1 I find it very adequate for 1/10 touring car with a 13.5 motor.

Hi Paul
Thanks but cannot find any boost software available on HW site

[Big paul]

Ill have a look for you and post a link If I can find any thing.
there is a tutorial on face book on how to load the soft ware ect its worth a look. But you need the soft ware first.

Am I going insane

Hi I have been using V3.1 on my XERUN 2.1 which works fine and is boostable.
It might be worth contacting CPD Racing to see if they can supply any of the pre V3.2 software. I have just tried their site but it only has links to hobbywings own site where they are no longer available, unless I am missing something. But worth seeing if they can help, always been really friendly and helpful in the past.

[s22jgs]

I've got 3.2 and 3.1 software on my laptop Scott. We'll get it working lol

[Big paul]

Sounds like you are sorted, but just found this.
