I like this style of ESC programmer as it's easy to read and flip through the settings. My only gripe is that they didn't have a decal specific to my ESC, but I have yet to compare the two included ones match up to the ESC instructions. It's still better than the Castle Creations programmer that it's just lights and a soft card that feels like it's going to break. The HobbyWing programmer is in a hard case that seems ready to hold up rolling around in your pit box.
Works as advertised. I've been using it to program a Hobbywing QuicRun QR10BL120 120A Sensored Brushless ESC. Works perfect and is super easy to use. In my experience, it's also quick. I was worried that making changes via programming card would be a pain because it would take too long. Plugging the ESC into the Program Card and making changes takes 1-2 minutes. I'm not sure if I want to change to a more expensive BlueTooth/App-based solution. I'm happy with this simple solution.
Doesn't even do its job. Couldn't get it to work. Only thing that would happen is a red line would appear across the middle of where the digits are supposed to be. Would not recommend it. Get the LCD box
Was easy to work n it took away the hassle of counting the beeps
Inexpensive, intuitive programming card. Only needed it because supposedly the Max8 G2 can't be programmed with the set button like previous HW ESC's, but this card does make the job easier.
Reviewers generally find the Hobbywing LED Program Card easy to use and quicker than counting beeps or using the set button. Several report it works across Hobbywing ESCs and some rebranded or related models, including Reedy and X-Car units. Recurring points include menus that differ by ESC, requiring cross-referencing with the ESC manual, and no on-screen confirmation of changes. Some reviewers note it only suits brushless ESCs, and the included JST cable is male-to-male. Two low ratings report a display fault and pins pulling out of the unit, and one 1-star review concerns slow shipping rather than the product.
