  • 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_
    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.
  • @epoweredrc

    Hello i bought program box is on the way,,wonder would i be able to update firmware for my 6100 spektrum receiver with cables supplied?
  • @peighday
    I have the SPMXCA200 that will not connect to my BLX100 in my Granite but has no problem connecting to my Spektrum Firma 150a in my Talion EXB. I checked to make sure it was on the latest firmware.
  • 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! 😏
  • @larryhawkes1347
    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.
  • @harlyquin
    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?
  • 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?
  • @mikeburr4217
    There’s a bunch of old links. Took me a while to find the right one. Also my esc needed to be updated to match
  • 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
    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
    Will hobbywing version work also ? Looks very similar and I have it.. TY
  • @Donder1337
