3/5I like it, but
2.19 no rpm in history, and new icon crashes app settings option to set tire size and gear ratio missing

Gymwhaley · 31 Jul 2026
4/5Really solid, but needs a “demo mode”
This is literally perfect, all it needs is a mode to edit your profiles/settings without being hooked up to a programmer.

1/5App doesn’t work AT ALL
Downloaded the app to check firmware on existing hobby wing esc. Connects just fine but anytime I try to do anything in the app, i see a pop-up saying “checking esc information” then another error message that says “electrical modulation information verification failed”.

2/5BEWARE before updating firmware
Latest version almost bricked my ESC but I was able to fix it with the LCD box. Please make it easier to update database and confirm firmware / iOS before updating esc with OTA programmer.

1/5Blank data log now
Was great, after latest update the car data log is just blank pages.
