Programming a seaking brushless ESC challenges..
If you want to keep the (aircraft) Esc set up a reverse switch relay dpdt and switch on transmitter. It’s a channel control mechanical relay but make sure it can handle current. Other way is a servo to throw a mechanical slide switch. Used …

Eric's ESC may not be faulty Chris - it may simply be a forwards only speed controller that does not have the facility to add reverse to it when programmed. I will be working my way through all my SeaKing ESC's using various Hobbywing progr …

Thanks Chris/all, for a very informative discussion around my ‘small’ reversing problem! As it happens, I’ve got a programming card and that I tried and it didn’t work that way either - conclusion - it’s forward only! Thank you gentleman.. …

Hi Eric Sorry, we've gone off at a tangent, no change there! You've probably ordered a new ESC now, which is probably the best course of action. I'm confident that you would be able to program your HobbyWing Seaking ESC with the HobbyWing L …

I appreciate this honest modern/ reality post! Wow. Programming. I have a lot to learn after sort of stepping out of the hobby with 5 unfinished hulls designed and built scale scratch 20 years ago. Programming? OMG! yup ... getting older! S …

Hi Chris, Thanks for your ongoing efforts to help me get any of my Sea King ESC working with a reverse function. I will drag out my collection of programs cards and give it another go. I am petty sure that my Sea King 90 (all three of them) …

Hi Chris, The label on Eric's ESC does say that it is a Version 2. It is printed on the label on the bottom left hand side - next to the negative symbol. Bob.

Hi Eric, I have used Sea King ESC on all my Classic Model Power Boats for many years. You may not need a program card - all of my Sea King ESC are performance units for forward use only - they do not have a reverse function. I have 10 - 12 …

This is the picture that Eric shared with us of his ESC. I have shown it here alongside the advert you pictured of a different type of 60amp ESC - both branded HobbyWing and both 60 amp. They are not the same ESC, but maybe the model that E …

Hi Chris, I have several different Sea King water-cooled ESC. They range in size from 180amp down to 70 amp to cover all the different sizes of power boat that I have used or that I am building or restoring at the moment. All of the packagi …

I have never seen that model of the Sea King before Chris - it has a reverse function! It is also shrink-wrapped, and that is different to every other Sea King ESC that I have. None of my Sea King ESC have this reverse facility - so I am gu …

No, that's an old Version 2 going back a few years, just like Erics. The latest being V3.1 looks completely different. Are yours 60amp?

SHARK ESC Brushless
Hi Ron! The Shark esc seems to be a budget friendly and fairly reliable choice. I personally like to stay with Traxxas when using Traxxas gear because of the finicky nature of Traxxas drivetrains where their esc's become "integrated" to the …
