Battery goes to the negative and positive marked pads that goes to the Rx. Solder two black wires to the negative and two red to the positive.

 WiseDuck 215 points

Since this will be a build that runs on 1S, you can simply feed the receiver and flight controller with power directly from the battery. I'm working on a micro quad that use these ESCs and I will power the FC and Rx with the flight lipo, as extra insurance I will use a 5v regulator between the lipo and receiver which will boost the voltage to 5v if the lipo sags under load. These ESCs are quite slow, so make sure to flash them with BLHeli. All you need to do is an Arduino Nano to do this. Google for guides from Oddcopter.

 WiseDuck 215 points

As for the voltage regulator, it weighs less than one gram and can be bought at Polulu. Simply google for "5v voltage regulator polulu". Re-flashing the ESCs with BLHeli is quite simple. On the face of the ESC you can see two exposed pads, two wires need to touch those and a third needs to touch or be soldered pad behind the yellow/orange component in the picture above. (By behind I meant the side towards the 3-phase motor connection) If you just find the guide you'll see how easy it is.

Hi! do you think it is possible to flash BLHeli with HK Atmel Socket Firmware Flashing Tool?

 magnusEl 1214 points

No wire included, You have to solder it yourself. The pads that are marked - (negative), (positive) and S (signal) is going to the reciver. The 3 on the oposite side is going to the motor. You must have a small soldering tip to be able to do it properly.

Any wire that you can successfully solder on to it.

This is an ESC (electronic speed controller) it runs the brush-less motor only. The receiver runs the servos and if you do not have one HK has some nice micro receivers. I just sent for the orange micro for DSM2. For set up see the files tab above.

1S only. The uC is rated for 5V maximum.

 Gary 2974 points

No this is forwards only.Is it a brushless esc you want for a small ship?

 sklenar 127 points

Various firmwares exist, but it is a quite a work to get one in. And this thing is really tiny, suitable for submicro models and motors - I guess you would be better with Plush 10A or perhaps 6A or so, (needs firmware relash as well to get reverse), for any small but not really submicro class toy car or ship.

 sklenar 127 points

I had found all infos about flashing Silabs versions of various ESCs already, including this one. I will try to programm this using arduino as it is cheaper than usb stick. Reason is that it do not start my motors well, and perhaps the possible reverse to use it in micro car/ship.

This system do not know any stand/ It s know only 2.4

 Iurii 19 points

wtf your replying if you dont understand simple english question? noob

 wperrin 139 points

I'm not sure why 2.4 GHz is even listed here, unless it's part of the product line designation .. this is a speed controller only, as far as I can tell, no receiver components are included

 mark 51 points

there are no reciever parts only the speed controller.There is no reason far as i can tell.

 mig.21 100 points

Yes, I believe that this setup is OK. I've an A05 and works fine with that esc. But note that the A05 runs better on a 2S Batt. With 1S batt is just slightly more power than de A03.

 Harry 2 points

one more quick question, would this work with the 1404n brushless?

 louigi600 218 points

Possibly: you'll have solder bothe the motor and the plug/lead for the RX system you use. The "- s" pads asre to be connected to the RX system while the 3 unlabled pads on the other side are to be connected to the brushless motor (any order ... if it spins the wrong way just swap any 2 connections to the motor and it will spinn the other way)

 Jerry 2 points

The reason I ask is, because the IC used on this board may be discontiued and that's why it's taking so long to get back in stock?

 Cyrill 32 points

It is a SIL F330 from silabs.

 louigi600 218 points

They are in stock right now. Get some before they run out :-)

 nemoskull 49 points

a while. hopefully soon. ive been watching this for over a month. try back ordering if you really want them. some items are only in stock for a few hours. thats what i do. you can always call up HK and cancel and order something else.

 Linda 7 points

This is disgusting service, it was paid for on the 4th January 2012. Maybe its not 45 days, but is 45 months.

 nemoskull 49 points

linda, if you want fast shipping, you should have bought from USA. bsd micro usualy has this stuff in stock- for 250% price. tho its fast, and its domestic. stuff from china is cheap, but costs lots of time. a good thing to remember.

 mark 51 points

yea so far everything i have ordered from here i super cheap and decent quality but when it comes to customer service thats definetly not their forte!I paid for some items through paypal and they messed it up and sent my order but took off batteries instead of adding them.Which i had payed for then still charged me.I even talked to a rep and made sure the other person did it right and two different people said they were in the order.Turns out they wernt.they did nothing to fix it so im disputing thru paypal.Prices are good but im sticking to **********s.the only thing i will buy from here anymore is batteries until somone else gets the turnigy nano techs

 Roy_T 134 points

To reset, simply unplug the lipo battery from the ESC for 10s. Reconnect to start programming again. You can't go wrong with such a basic ESC.

 magnusEl 1214 points

Nothing more than that it is a part in the serie "2.4Ghz SuperMicro Systems" that includes servos (that work with 35/40/72 and other mHz system) and recivers, that is small and lite.
This controller does work with other system too, not only 2,4gHz.

 azgar 8 points

True. I have connected it to orange DSM2 4ch reciever, works perfectly well. It made 17g total with 2g brushless, 2 linear servos and 160 mAh.

 nemoskull 49 points

marketing. it will work with any modern Tx/Rx.

 Roy_T 134 points

Is this the Parkzone UM Stryker? The parkzone flyer needs a 2S ESC. The Turnigy Plush 6A would be a better choice.

 Joseph 6 points

Thanks Roy T. It is a UM parksoze Stryker. So I can proceed using the X8R6M6Ch RX The 1.7 gr linear swervos & the Plush 6A Esc.
Please confirm Roy.

 Roy_T 134 points

Joseph, make sure your micro liner servos come with the standard servo connector for your ASSAM RX (HK does carry these). Otherwise you'll need to convert the micro JST connector to standard connector.

 boingk 257 points

Very, very close. The whole thing is about the size of my little finger's fingernail. You will need a very fine soldering iron tip and perhaps some magnifying goggles for this one if you don't have great eyesight.

 boredom.is.me 88 points

I learned that this esc is not worth its weight compared to others.

 magnusEl 1214 points

I tell you anyway...motor output have 2mm spacing, and reciver pads have ~1,7mm

 Roy_T 134 points

Not sure able the firmware, but i can attest to the HK XP 3A being a better and smoother ESC. This ESC though non programmable, is able to handle higher current spikes than the TGY and HK. It is also not friendly for high KV motors. (i.e. due to timing/pulse issues, the motor must be hand started)

 nemoskull 49 points

used this ESC on a 7700kv 2 grams motor. no problems starting. id say the firmware is different. no programming as far as i know.

 Lon 92 points

lol i know right! :)

 __Riff 179 points

so what is it, a esc working at 2,4Ghz?????

 dayne 8 points

"2.4Ghz SuperMicro Systems" is obviously a new product line, and this is just a simple 1s ESC. What I wanna know is if the firmware is different then the other 1s esc's and how programmable it is.

 YursTruly 36 points

it would be nice if an UM connector included

 mgbdriver 6 points

Look in the "Files" tab for the manual.

 Artikbot 14 points

Wow wow wow!! This ESCs 9000kv 27mm EDF would be great for a twin EDF MPX Fox!!

 blackacefighter 28 points

Max Amps: 3.5A (Burst 4A) there's no way that will handle any EDF ever

 Windenberger 89 points

Hi all does it work if connected to a "normal" receiver or is it only compatible with the 2.4 micro system?

 magnusEl 1214 points

Yes, it is working with normal recivers, but only if you use ONE LiPo cell!

 Lam 11 points

anyone know what is the PWM frequency on this micro esc?

 Eric 5 points

do you connect the battery to the and - of the servo connection ?

 magnusEl 1214 points

Yes Eric, that is right.

 Andreas 5 points

hi, just recieved two of these mini things, and now i wonder where to connect the battery? do i have to split the and - cable, so that leads to the reciever an the battery? thanks, Andi

 Artikbot 14 points

Andreas, it comes marked. White cable to the ~, red cable to , black cable to -. Motor cables go to the three holes, solder them on the position you need for the motor to spin to the correct direction. It's very likely this ESC will draw the current from the UBEC.

 Andreas 5 points

thanks for the fast answer, does "the esc will draw the current from the ubec" mean i need an extra ubec?? or just solder in a connector to the red and black cable an it will work? (or will kill my reciever?)

 Artikbot 14 points

You will need to source power to the receiver. Ergo, add a Lipo with an ubec, or simply plug the LiPo onto the receiver if it supports the voltage. 1S only, remember that! Also, your receiver will need to support working under low voltages. A capacitor is recommended to avoid power blackouts under acceleration.

 Andreas 5 points

thanks, i'll try to plug it directly to the reviever and see if it works.

 Ballemann 209 points

Andreas, what you do is hook the esc and receiver up to the battery in parallel! That way you don't draw 3,5 amps through the bec..

 clearskies 1 points

I ran one with a nanolite 6ch board and a C0EXL brushless motor, had to install a voltage booster to keep 5v going to the receiver. worked ok with a 1S 160Mah but when I connected it to a 1S 750Mah it smoked a chip on the ESC. either a motor wire became loose or the battery had too much amps for this little ESC.
