I'm a beginner so go easy on me. How do I connect this ESC to USB? I can't see a single port anywhere. Also do I have to download some sort of program to actually program the ESC?

I've seen YouTube videos of the HobbyWing version appearing to govern (better than my K-Force) so I think it must be possible.
If anyone here is happy with the governor could you pass along your other settings and the heli details?
Also, apart from the nameplate in the photo, the entire thing is wrapped in heat shrink. Is the name plate supposed to be the heat sink? In trying to peek into the ends of the shrink, I noticed that there appears to be an upside-down heat sink installed on the back side of the package, and it's also under heat shrink.... Very strange if you ask me.

Guys - just want to let you know that this ESC has a compatibility issue with my Scorpion 3008-32 outrunner. I've fried two of them while still in programming mode - seems like the moment that I change the timing, the ESC immediately burns out. It's happened to two in a row now, but other people have found them to be really fantastic, so I can only think it's a compatibility problem. If you have a Scorpion outrunner, rather go for the Turnigy Plush. They work fine with my Scorpions.

Brent - I've just got my first pair of force 40 ESC's. I'm only using 3s and an AXI 2820/10. All worked fine until I programmed the ESC. I set the brake 'on' (folding prop) and adjusted the low voltage cut out to 'hard'. Everything was fine until I saved the settings. The ESC acknowledged that it was exiting the programming mode. Then it made some other strange noises. At this point the motor looked like it was about to start and then the ESC went up in smoke!!
My spin on this is that when it came out of programming mode it had the brake on at the same time as the motor.
Having read what you've said I'm wondering if it just crashes and fries itself when it exits programming mode??
I've got another one but I'm not going to risk programming it. The stuffed one will have to go back to HC - NOT HAPPY.
Pity.. I though these would be good 6S ESC's.
I'll stick to my old CC45's. i've had them for years and they have never let me down (Unlike the Turnigy /hobbywing)
Mitch.

UPDATE: I'm sending my first one back but I thought I should try the second ESC.. I programmed the second ESC the same as the first BUT I exited the programming mode at step 3 and this time it didn't go up in smoke! (On the first ESC I waited until it had clocked through all of the features and quit from the 'exit programming mode' option).
CONCLUSION: Exit programming mode from the last feature that you programme. DON'T use the 'exit programming mode' shown in option in step 2. The ESC will crash and self destruct!

Hey Mitch.
That's exactly the same thing that happened to me. As soon as I exited programming mode, the motor made a really weird noise and then ***f, magic smoke everywhere.
Second time round, I plugged a low capacity 2s lipo into the ESC during programming. Figured the battery wouldn't have enough power to fry the ESC if something went wrong again. All worked fine and I got it set up perfectly, but changed the timing at the field on a charged 3s and it fried on the spot. And I was only changing one feature, then exiting straight away.
My advice to anyone who reads this would be use a weak 2s battery for programming - at least until the programming cards arrive. You'll save yourself the hassle of a warranty claim.
Brent.

I need someone to confirm that the governor function is working well, and that it indeed holds a constant head speed from start to finish and doesn't drop with battery voltage drop like cheaper ESCs can do.
An Eagle Tree plot with pitch pumps and detailed info on setup would be nice for a reference.

I can't get the governor to govern my Blade 400. Using a flat throttle curve, with any value from 65% to 85%, the head is spinning like crazy at zero pitch but bogs quite a bit if I feed in any collective input (positive or negative).
The very soft start works nicely, I programmed it with the throttle stick, but I'm wondering if the timing advance could be at fault with the governor.

Good question! The manual mentions a 150A version with an OPTO and no BEC. There is no indication that this unit has any isolation.

"...based on an all new powerful microprocessor usually reserved for high speed car ESCs."
Q.: Does this mean it can be used as a car ESC?!

Seems like some are confused by the following quote and think this is a car esc, It is a airplane /heli esc.
"The Turnigy K-Force series are based on an all new powerful microprocessor usually reserved for high speed car ESCs"

Is it also possible to set the options by tx or JUST with this programming card (or box)?

The manual for the equivalent Hobbywing Platinum states full programminginstructions for TX programming. The only option that seems to require a programmingbox is setting your own custom cut-off voltage.
The manual can be found at the website "Blue Angel" linked earlier:

This is exactly the same thing as HW Platinum.
When connected to PC with HW link software it is
recognised as a HW device. Governor mode works
very well - for 6-8 pole outrunner select Gov Hi and flat throttle at 80-85%. Keep v1.03 firmware
if you still have it, because in v1.05 PWM is limited to 12 khz only. I would rather keep the 24 khz capability.

I've paired this ESC with the Turnigy 2836 3700kv brushless motor (http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8137) on my Blade 400, and it is a perfect match. I'm very pleased with it. The built-in switched BEC means I can ditch the external BEC that I've been using so far.
The ESC came with printed documentation in excellent english, and programming via the transmitter was relatively straightforward.
I've set up governor mode, which seems well done, maintaining headspeed well during pitch pumps and various battery levels. When I tached the headspeed, though, it turned out I needed about a 10% lower throttle setting than the documentation suggested, so check your speeds when setting up.
My only real complaint is that the highest low voltage cutoff setting available without the PC programmer is only 3.3V This means flying to LVC drains far more than the recommended 80% for a lipo. I'd have liked to be able to select 3.4V or 3.5V per cell. But that's a minor nitpick.
Overall, another slam-dunk in value from Turnigy.

| This ESC rocks! It comes with presoldered female bullets as pictured. It has awesome programming features, I was getting 30A @ 10.7V (320W - 1420g) with an OEM/Turnigy Plush 40A. After swapping out the ESC and some quick programming changes I get 34A @ 10.7V (360W - 1555g) with the same motor/prop/lipo setup. Great stuff, ordered another one! Now where is the programming card??

Hi, got 4 of these lately and must admit that they are great.!! Even better then the Plush escs are.!!
HC keep up the good work, but do something about the sometimes shipping (rediculous package weights) prices.

Installed on my Dragonus II Elite heli. Runs cool, very good soft start, tail never moves even on a smooth gym floor, very nice!
Fantastic price! switching BEC! Smooth soft start! Easy to program from a TX!
I was having an issue with it forgetting it's end points but I believe that was a bind issue with my Spektrum RX. Since I rebound the RX it is working very well.

| This ESC represents all of the quality you have come to expect with Turnigy ESC's, only better. I couldn't find a programming card that works with this esc so I it did manually with the beeps and it was surprisingly easy. The K-force comes with additional options, the biggest one for me is the optional 6 volt bec. Pushing 40 amps on my 3DHobbyshop Edge, doesn't even break a sweat and the 6v bec gives my HXT MG-14's a nice boost as well.

Simply excellent! Lightweight with a smooth, fast & linear response. Love the fact that the BEC can be programmed to give a 6V output. My experience of other low cost ESCs has been poor - so I usually end up putting a Castle Creation Phoenix in my planes. However that's all changed since I tried the K Force. Just bought a K Force 60 for my Fliton AJ Extra.
So when can we have some K-Force 10 & 20s?

it is a very good ESC with a very stable BEC, no probs to yuse it with MKS DS Series, other ESC makes me some Problems with Position hold with this Servos.
The Dokumentation is very good and prezise written !
Soft Start is realy good, i use it at 22V 6S LIPO in Outrage G5 helikopter with the 1700 KV Motor
many geatings from Germany |
|
|
| Great light Speed Control With ring fitted And A great price to match |
|
|
| This is the first time trying one of the K-Force esc's.I they are as good as people say I will order more plus write a review on them for others to know. |
|
|
| I am using it with Turnigy 2836 3700kv motor, gets a bit warm |
|
|
| Great speed controller, with excellent features, and the usual high quality Turnigy build quality, but BEWARE! It doesn't work with all motors. I've ordered 2 of them for use with my Scorpion 3008-32 outruners, and both fried while I was in programming mode - never even got into the air. Really disappointing. I'm going back to the Plush controllers, which are truly excellent, not to mention bulletproof. |
|
|
| Bought this ESC to use with my Turnigy 2830 Brushless Motor 3500kv 4.75x4.75 props APC 2200mAH 25C Flight Max on a F14 profile jet and it doesn't even gets HOT!! flying time around 10 minutes, it's capable of handling this motor. |
|
|
| Governor doesn't seem to work (for me) and the heat sink seems to installed incorrectly. Very-soft start is fine. |
|
|
| Purchase this and used with Tunigy Typhoon 3500Kv motor for HK450 ..great performance ..my motor and Lipo is cool compare using 30A Tunigy Plush ESC and but got little warm for this ESC during hover . |
|
|
| Can not activate the governor mode because I cannot enter the program mode. Other people reported the same problem. So far, no answer from HK. They need either modify the description and manual or provide some support. Otherwise, more people will be mislead. For me, missing governor mode defeats the purpose of my purchase. It will work as simple ESC with soft start and no program capability. |
|
|
| Instructions are good and understandable and thanks to this programming the ESC with a TX is a walk in a park. Tested the ESC on the ground and it sounds that it is indeed spinning the prop with more RPM than turnigy 30 plush ESC that I had previously. Can't go out flying 'cause it's -20 degrees Celsius / -4 degrees Fahrenheit outside! |
|
|
| I hv been waiting get this ESC which I read was a rebranded esc HW Platinum series that can cost 25% more than the price here. |
|
|
| A+ for this Esc, nice Soft Start, Great for my CopterX SE V2 |
