Title: Hobbyking SS Series 125 A ESC
Post by: olly4950 on June 11, 2014, 10:00:33 pm

Just bought 2 of these  form hobbyking,specs said it has reverse.
On the maual there is no reverse.

I think the manufacturer thinks reverse is a counterclockwisedirection, but this is not what I require.
Need 2 brushless speed controllers with true reverse?

If you read the comments on this controller on their website you will see that this problem goes back years. The devices simply do not have reverse options in their programme.

I returned the same units to their UK warehouse under warranty 2 years ago as defective and got a full refund, even though they had been supplied from their global warehouse.

The 70amp and other rated controllers of this series have true reverse options.  http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=24569

Hi Brian,
            The one I have is the Hob 0011. I on the packet it said car, so I know someone that will buy it off me, so all well. when I tried to program it, it would only forward/reverse with brake, but all I got was forward.
            Thank for the reply.
