Just got my program card for my new spectrum 2 in 1 2300kv brushless system. I have been really enjoying it's great low speed control along with a decent top end and tons of power! I will definitely being buying more of the 2 in 1 brushless systems for some of my other crawlers!

@itz_lexiii_ 3 месяца назад

another excellent product from spektrum. having this in my arsenal of tools is a must when doing speed car builds, letting me change setup options like punch and other things on the fly.

@larryhawkes1347 2 года назад

Spektrum should make this programmer box (like the transmitters) so that you just have to download the update file to a flash drive, and then put the flash drive with the update into the programmer box, and then update both the box or ESC. That way its not dependent on a third party OS.

@brianmiller4466 Год назад

Looks like I need to add this(also updating the ESC and flight controller) to my todo list. My Avain 100A ESC never worked right, out of the box. The governor never worked but far worse the “soft” start has always been sketchy. Occasionally it works correctly but lemme tell ya, its quite exciting to have the ESC try to start swinging a 1+ meter rotor disc full bore from a dead stop. Bad enough when that bugger does a pirouette on the ground. But if th skid digs in/catches she’ll flop over on her side and those blades really don’t like trying to swing through dirt. 🤦🏻‍♂️ anyway..bla bla bla…. Cool vid! Dankeshe A round of updates on me! 😏

i have the latest version but there is no lipo voltage cutoff adjustment like hobbywing program cards have for their esc's, or dose the spektrum card not have that ability full stop?

@nathancunningham8717 Год назад

I just downloaded from Spektrum website and the version they sent me to download is only V1 0.7?? Can't find anything newer like V1.0.9 anywhere?

What is the latest firmware version for the V2?

@Donder1337 7 месяцев назад

I bought the new spektrum smart esc for my car, but this spektrum smart esc programmer v2 box wont connect to the new esc.. and using this program wont update to a new version to see my new esc too.. damn hope ill find a new update else its so useless..

@michaelrittenhouse2544 6 месяцев назад

I did the newest update. Now my speed on the spectrum dashboard. Always says. 35 mph. Meanwhile the cars going well above 140 mph. Then the stock 100amp Esc. Keeps hitting LVC It’s driving me mad. The newest update. 5.02. You’re able to lower the LVC. It still hits LVC prematurely. Anyway to disable this feature?

@DJIDSYSTEMX2 Год назад

and my other thought where is a video on and about the receiver sr6100at show something on that one also including the same other one that can do AVC

@ktmjay9920 2 года назад

Will hobbywing version work also ? Looks very similar and I have it.. TY

@SpektrumRCvideos 2 года назад

Unfortunately they do not function fully. Sometimes you will be able to change some settings, depending on the esc and firmware, but your best bet is to get the Spektrum programmer for Spektrum ESCs

4:40 When I plug in the programmer V2 into the computer, the updater can’t see it. All the drop-downs are blank, the screen on the programmer says “connecting ESC”

@MrKen-sj5qi 4 месяца назад

Just finished updating my V2 this second. I'm truly surprised I managed, due to a serious lack of computer savvy. Anyways, as of today, (21 Feb 2024) the latest firmware version is PB-1.0.23.

By chance, have y'all EVER gotten all the bugs & problem issues out if the NX10? (B4 i spend $500+ on a tx thats garbage.)

@SpektrumRCvideos 2 года назад

Is there something specific you are referring to?

@epoweredrc 2 года назад

What bugs? I have had one since the day they came in stock and HH shipped mine and I have right now 193:50 Hours on time. I have flown over 20 different models with it, airplanes, helicopters. it has been a Flawless TX. Love mine. I know at least 3 others with them also no issues at all. Be sure to turn off the roller sound when you first get it. its annoying and has a pop sound sometimes if you don't turn it off.

I just bought one a month ago have it all set up ready to fly but but my programmer box is not connecting to the firmware so I can set up my Governor mode at this point it's just sitting there and not working collecting dust it's a good way to waste over $1,000 and you better make sure you have a Windows base laptop. It seems a lot of people have been having the same problem.

@v.e.7236 Год назад

These programming boxes are supposed to read your lipo battery packs, as well as make connections to your ESCs, however, my unit doesn't seem to register any batteries when I plug in the balance lead. Is there some trick to get these things to register batteries?

@martinbullla7654 Год назад

Mine was reading the cells perfect and now it's reading three and four way out of whack only one and two are right and when I plug the battery into my charger they're all the same so yep useless to be a battery checker

@andygrant2255 Месяц назад

This does not work on my infraction 3s blx! I have tried Windows 10 and 11. Several times. I have deleted and re-done the download. Tried with the esc connected and disconnected. Powered up and down. I can change the existing settings, but i am wanting to update the firmware on both card and car as my car goes into thermal cut-off far too soon. Even before a 5000 mah pack is even anywhere near being down to a low voltage. This car is so mu h fun to drive, but i am frustrated that i have purchased the correct product from you and i can get it to work. I ( and all the other people having problems with this! ) would be very interested in a solution. Cheers Andy Grant

@DJIDSYSTEMX2 Год назад

Need to do a video about this programer with an actual RC car so everyone can understand how to use the settings and no don't do it with just only a esc and motor and a servo show it with a RC car or truck or show it with all different ones at least is my only opinion

@granddeath 2 года назад

Just FYI the app ONLY works on a laptop. I went nuts trying to figure out why it wasn't working ony desktop, lone behold I installed the app on my laptop and it worked instantly.

@SpektrumRCvideos 2 года назад

That should not be the case. Likely it is a setting in Windows that is not allowing the drivers to be installed. Try running the app as an administrator.

@72voltz17 ok then try to use thr windows extraction button . For me I also used winzip and had it go threw. The guy at the hobby store said some have luck using windows some with separate app such as myself. Definitely a little time consuming but the additional features I was able to install in my ESCs was worth it. Good luck👍
