Hobbyking SS Series 25-30A ESC (card programmable)
The Hobbyking SS series comes with a limited range of programming functions and are designed to be plug-n-play. A perfect ESC for those looking for something simple to use and economic.
This unit can be programmed with the following programming cards; Turnigy, Thunderpower, HobbyWing + others
I know this might be a stupid question, but this ESC contains a microprocessor right? and if it does, is there anyway to make one without a microprocessor ( I really need one without mp for my digital project)
on installing this ESC using your turnigy 2627 outrunner motor all I get is a continuous beeping, but the bec performs with no problems, I have checked the setup of the ESC. with card reader and everything set ok. It took over two weeks for this shipment to come order NO: 2006609969 . Can you replace with a Esc form uk? I ordered the Hk 250 from you and it was here in 2days. Please help
Continuous beeping usually means the ESC detects the throttle isn't all the way back upon power up. If your throttle is indeed all the way back, try to trim it back a little further using your trim buttons. If that fixes it, there is a procedure to calibrate your min and max throttle positions with your ESC. Lastly, make sure the throttle channel is not inverted in you TX programming.
sorry people are saying.Warning! New some series of this controllers HK-SS30A-HW goes with ISP locked CPU. Fuse SPIEN is locked. You CAN NOT load firmware for multirotors like Simonk and other to it. Please be careful and change your orders.
Hi Hayden, Agreed, programming from the Tx is a pain. If you're going to own several RC models/ESCs it's worth the few bucks to buy a programming card. Soooooo much easier! Cheers, EA!

F-30A and F-20A are the best for multirotors because it uses N-channell FETs and external crystal resonator. Don't forget to remove three capasitors near ISP pads.

I did what you said, but when I move my throttle trim up after doing this my motor comes on when throttle stick at 0 actually about 40 % trim motor starts on. Should digital throttle trim be left at 0 after doing this?
Hi greg, You want the digital trim set to "0%" when the throttle stick is all the way off. When you're setting the throttle range, you first move the throttle to full on position then plug in your ESC. I'm not sure how many beeps you will hear, but I think you can move the throttle to the off position as soon as you hear the first beep. Don't mess with the throttle trim after doing this, as the Off to Full range is already set. Cheers, EA!
thanks...I was moving my throttle trim back up to middle after doing this..which is when my motor would engage. Just wanted to make sure it is correct before I maiden this bad boy..
Hi greg, Thanks for the credit. I'm confused .... you said "I was moving my throttle trim back up to middle after doing this" which sounds like a slider/analog trim adjustment, but above you mention 0% which sounds like a digital programmable trim adjustment. Regardless of which it is, you want to set the throttle range with the trim adjustment "centered" in the neutral position which means it's in the center if it's a slider or set to "0%" if it's a digital rocker switch that can be set to either % or -% depending on which way you move it. That way the motor is stopped with the trim set to neutral but you can adjust a bit either way if this setting drifts a bit or you want more/less off position. Cheers, EA!
I got this ESC for my AXN, I didn't know it automatically adjusted to the plane. I performed what was mentioned here on adjusting throttle by lowering sub trim of throttle. moving the throttle to high then plug in ESC. wait for the beep then 2 more beeps. I did this now when I raise my throttle trim up at approx middle the motor begins to spin while my stick on TX is still at 0? can I reset this back to factory default? Thank You
Hi greg, You want to set the throttle range as follows: Set the throttle trim to zero (centered on a slider trim adjustment, "0" on a digital trim). Turn TX on, put throttle to full, and plug in ESC. When you hear the beep immediately move throttle to off position. You're done! Cheers, EA!
Victor, try what I did, it worked for me. Set your radio throttle trims and sub trims to 0. Move your throttle stick all the way up/full throttle. Now plug you esc in the throttle slot of receiver and power on receiver. Your esc will make a quick beeb and then 2 beebs, now take your throttle all the way down. This should calibrate your throttle and reprogram it. I also had a motor with no props attached when testing so I can see if it worked.
I have a bixler 2 ARF which is my first plane and using the hobbyking SS Series 25-30A ESC (HK-SS30A-HW) with a Turnigy 9X 9Ch (TX-9X-M2) controller and receiver. The labeling on the ESC was upside down which was no biggy though from what I read it doesn’*t matter which of the blue wires (a,b,c) connect to the motor. Is this correct? Also the bixler 2 motor has three different color connector being red, black and yellow which makes me to think that there is a particular connection required.
Currently I have connect the wires up to the and the ESC and the only response I’*m getting is that it recognize the 3S battery. All the servos work well (receiver bond) though I can’*t get the motor to respond. Is there another setting I need to do on the controller so the motor works? Please help.
Hi Twaiter, The 3 wires from the motor and ESC can be connected is any combination. The color-coding is irrelevant, more for visual reference for reconnecting same way. If the motor runs in the wrong direction, just swap any 2 of the wires and it will reverse direction. If your motor won't run, make sure the throttle trim is set to zero and make sure that the ESC cable to the Rx is plugged into the correct channel position on the Rx. It's CH3 for Mode 2, and may be the same for Mode 1. Cheers, EA!

Hi Ronzu, Like most ESCs, these are sold with bare wires except for the Rx plug. Most motors in this size range come with 3.5mm Polymax style male bullet connectors, so you need to buy the female 3.5mm connectors for the motor leads. If you're running HK LiPos bigger than 1000mah, you'll need an XT60 male connector for the power lead. Cheers, EA
Does anyone know what kind of connectors are on these esc's? Such as bullet connector for motor and battery connectors? Does it allow you to hook up to a receiver as well? Thanks
i HAVE THAT PROGRAMMING CARD: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh _viewItem.asp?idProduct=2169 But I try to program with that esc but doesnt work. At the end of the program I try to connect with the motor but doesnt work...I must programming the motor and esc with the "beep" and the stick move. You can help me? how can I check if the esc was planned well? Also you can explain exactly how to program the esc? (maybe I'm wrong something)
Hi Maurizio, I've used that programming card on this ESC, so you might be doing something wrong in your hook-up. The ESC can be connected with ot without motor connected. Rx cable from ESC plugs into the 3-pin BEC connection on the programming card, making sure the negative wire on right side. Connect LiPo to ESC and card should light up. Program the ESC and hit the OK button. Done! Cheers, EA
Hello, you do not need the programming card to program this particular ESC, just go to the files tab, or take this link www.link and you'll find that it is all self - explanatory :)
I run this on my AXN Floater with original motor and a 6x4E sport prop. It get's hot. But what is to hot? Would this be to much for this ESC? Should I change it out to my HK 30A blue series?
Hi Tom, Too hot is when you touch the flat plate and it's almost too hot to leave your finger on it. The stock motor set-up in the AXN Floater is a 20A ESC, so this should be able to handle the load from that motor. I would look at placement - is the ESC mounted where it will get plenty of airflow? Try trimming away the heat shrink at each end to the edge of the circuit board. Do that and move the ESC well into the airflow and it should be fine. The HK BlueSeries 30A is one of my favorites, so you can always swap it in if this one still runs hot. Cheers, EA!
Hi Tom, If you seem to be getting less power from the 30A BlueSeries it's likely because they're very sensitive to how you set the throttle range. Turn Tx on and move throttle stick to max. Then connect battery to ESC. Wait until you hear ESC beep and immediately move throttle to Off position. You ESC will then go thru the normal cell count series of beeps. Go fly. Cheers, EA!
That esc is only rated for 3s. For 4s on a quad, get the HK www.link you flash with simonK firmware it becomes one of the best quad esc's available. It will still work fine if you don't flash it, but simonK FW makes it more stable.
Yes. It should have come with a piece of paper that tells you how. You just set your throttle to full, turn on tx, and listen for the program you want. That's where the paper comes in. When you hear the code you want, you set the throttle to off.if you don't have the paper let me know and I will help.
Yes you can. Click on the files tab, select "Generic HobbyWing ESC Manual" and look at page 4 for instructions on how to program these ESCs using your remote. Hope this helps and Happy flying!
like charlie said it doesn't come with a piece of paper,you can download here on file tab ,but if you don't understand it see this video hope it will help you.btw most esc setup like this ,
Want to use this ESC in a Floater-Jet with standard motor ( Floater-Jet Motor (AXN-2208-2150) Specs. RPM/V: 2150kv Max Watts: 180w Max Amps: 20A ) and this Battery ZIPPY Flightmax 2200mAh 3S1P 25C.
Will this setup work fine?
Do i need a programming card?
I am new to this and open for all kind of suggestions.
Maybe I received a dud, but the ESC I installed does not work correctly. It does it's hook up tone then starts beeping (beep beep beep beep beep) constantly. For a while, I couldn't even program it with my radio but I tried trimming the throttle down (almost as far as it would go) and it finally accepted programming. However, If I want to fly my plane, I must let it go through the programming cycle and wait for the final two long beeps for exit. At that point it does the cell count (3 beeps) and a long beep indicating its ready for operation. If I unplug the battery and plug in a new one, I have to do this all over again. Anyone know of a fix for this or has anyone else experienced this issue?
Never mind, it burned out on me. I don't believe I'll be ordering any more of these! Ha ha. I still love the fact that I can experiment and not have to break the bank. Thanks Hobby King.
i had the same problem whit my quadro copter setup it went over when i made a rance check full trothel than down for setting up my quadrocopterplate now its oke hope it helps (i programed them whit my card)
diniska, the ESC I had worked but only if you went through the entire programming cycle and exited from it. That was frustrating. However it burned up on a motor rated for 19A. The motor was barely warm to the touch but the ESC was extremely hot.
aalbes, sorry to hear your quad is broken because of a faulty ESC. I know not to put these on mine now.
I have heard a lot of escs have a cut-off when it's told to pull more amps through the esc then the esc is rated for. Does anyone know if this esc has that feature? And even if it doesn't what would the esc and motor do if this cut-off was put in place?
Well, I only know that when you don't take measures, you definitely will burn the esc, as I found out. The golden rule is though to take an esc rated higher than the battery capacity. When you have a battery 20C, use an esc 25C or 30C.
I fly 30C Rhino with 18A ESC and it still fly till today. Your golden rules isnt that accurate. It has something to do with motor/esc combination. U will figure it out sooner or later :). This ESC has cut off feature for voltage. Low lipo volt and ESC will cut off to save your battery. Cut off power that u mentioned is more to heat cut off. When U r pushing too much power, esc will heat up and it will cut off power to cool down. When its cool down it will resume full power again. ESC heating up
best value for the money. Works perfect on 3cells and different motors. Programming with Turnigy prog card works fine, too. The only drawback are some problems with 2cells. This can easily be fixed in future versions. See my post in the "questions" section.
I didn't test at 30A but deriving from the MOSFET types I would suggest to use it only for short bursts at 30A. Continuous rating should be about 22..25A.
The SO8 MOSFETs are not all the same height. Therefore the aluminum heatsink plate on top was only in contact with 7 of 12 MOSFETs. The other 5 will not be able to spread the heat.

This unit works perfectly with the Turnigy ESC programmer and it makes me wonder if this ESC is actually a Turnigy ESC without the label. It's the same size as the Turnigy Plush 25 amp esc and plays the same tunes it does too. Overall, similarities are very strong. Regardless, this unit has a very smooth throttle and works very well. It's a great deal! Highly recommended!

Works very good, easy programmable with Turnigy programming card. I had a problem with one of them as it did not work with a MPX transmitter. When trying an Graupner transmitter everything was OK with even an smoother throttle control as with MPX. Weight with Deans style plug (not included) is 28 grams.

When I first plugged in the one of the 3 SS30A(p) I bought to my Turnigy BL and Spektrum AR6200, I got CONSTANT BEEPING. I checked my throttle setting and it was set to the off position where I normally have it set for new setups. Turns out I had to set the Sub-Trim to "25-Low" as the ESC was trying to tell me there was active throttle input. Once I did this it tested perfectly and I got the same beeps as my other Turnigy Plush ESC. Ran at 22Amps WOT and seemed to handle it just fine. Hope this helps you with your setup!

The post above about keeping currents to 22-25 amps should be heeded. My SS30 ESC smoked in flight at 30 amps continuous. The BEC stayed functional for another 20 seconds as I raced to get it on the ground. After the crash, the entire ESC burst into flames.
So keep amps lower than spec and ensure lots of cooling to prevent future disappointments.
