Performance & Reliability

Built with high-quality components and coupled with cutting-edge firmware,
the Seaking 60A V3.1 is featured by unmatched performance and reliability.
Multiple safety adjustable options are in use,
with the implementation of the low-voltage cutoff protection,
thermal protection and throttle signal loss protection.

Performance & Reliability

Efficient Cooling System

The Hobbywing patented heat-conductive copper bar cover on the power board of
the Seaking 60A V3.1 can efficiently and effectively transfer heat to the integrated CNC machined
billet aluminum water cooled heat sink housing thus keeping
your ESC as cool as possible.

Efficient Cooling System

Seaking 120A

Waterproof Design

100% waterproof without the need of extra protection.

Waterproof Design

Built-in BEC

The built-in switch mode BEC with a maximum output of 6Amp and
voltage of 6V make this ESC compatible with high voltage servo.

Built-in BEC

Special Algorithm Design

The special algorithm implemented in the ESC make the acceleration
more incredible and sailing more stable.

Special Algorithm Design

Separate PRG/FAN Port

The separate PRG/FAN port on the ESC can connect ESC to a program
box (via the trio-color programming cable) and start ESC programming.

FAQ

During the Starting-up Process

The ESC was unable to start the status LED and the motor after it was powered on.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. No power was supplied to the ESC.	1. Check if all ESC & battery connectors have been well soldered or firmly connected.
2. The ESC switch was damaged.	2. Replace the broken switch.
3. Backward installation of batteries.	3.Disconnect the battery immediately, return the ESC to its manufacturer for repair if it's damaged.

The ESC was unable to start the motor after it was powered on, but the motor beeped a short, double beep that repeats. (Note: the interval between two beeps was 1 second)

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. The battery voltage was beyond the normal operationg voltage range of the ESC.	1. Check the battery voltage.
2. The ESC temperature was above 80℃ when it was powered on.	2. Check if the water cooling system functions well or change another ESC with high(er) Amperage.

The Red LED flashed (the motor beeped at the same time) rapidly after the ESC was powered on and finished the "LiPo Cells" detection.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
The neutral throttle value stored on your ESC might be different from the current value stored on the transmitter.	Move the throttle trigger/stick to the neutral position, recalibrate the throttle range.

The Red LED flashed a short, single flash (the motor beeped at the same time) that repeats (note: the interval between two flashes/beeps was 2 sec.) after the ESC was powered on and finished the "LiPo Cells" detection.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. The ESC didn't detect any throttle signal.	1. Check if the throttle cable has been plugged into the wrong channel or reversely plugged into the TH channel on the receiver and the transmitter has been switched on.
2. The built-in BEC was damaged.	2. Return the ESC to its manufacturer for repair.

In Operation

The boat suddenly stopped from running or the output power it received dropped dramatically.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. The throttle signal was lost.	1. Consult with transmitter manufacturer, or change another transimtter that can control longer distance/wider range.
2. The LVC protection was activated.	2. Change another battery. If the new one is a NiMH pack, then please disable the LVC protection.
3. The ESC Thermal protection was activated; the Green LED on the ESC flashed a short, single flash that repeats.	3.Continue to use it after it cools down or change a pinion with fewer teeth, a motor with low KV rating to reduce load.
4. The Over-current protection was activated; the Green LED on the ESC flashed a short, triple flash that repeats.	4. The load was too heavy, please reduce the load or change another ESC with higher Amperage.
5. The Green on the ESC flashed a short, quadruple flash that repeats to indicate that the ESC was damaged.	5. Return the ESC to the factory for repair.

The motor/boat trembled but couldn't start.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. Poor contact between the ESC and motor connections.	1. Check if gold-plated connectors are loose or poorly soldered.
2. The ESC/motor was damaged.	2. Run some tests with another ESC/motor (ensure it functions well before tests) to see if the ESC/motor is broken and then return the unit to its manufacturer for repair. Please test with small throttle amount(s) first, increase the amount after you ensure everything works normally to avoid damaging device(s) again.

The motor got stuck or paused when increasing the throttle rapidly during the starting-up process.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. Poor discharing capability of the pack.	1. Change another pack with great discharging capability.
2. The RPM of the motor was too high, or the FDR was too low.	2. Change a low-speed motor, or increase the FDR.
3. The ESC/motor was damaged.	3. Run some tests with another ESC/motor (ensure it functions well before tests) to see if the ESC/motor is broken and then return the unit to its manufacturer for repair. Please test with small throttle amount(s) first, increase the amount after you ensure everything works normally to avoid damaging device(s) again.

The boat could go forward but couldn't reverse.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. Didn't calibrate the throttle range properly.	1. Recalibrate the throttle range.
2. Didn't set the "running mode" properly.	2. Set the "running mode" to "FWD/REV" or factory default.
3. The ESC was damaged.	3. Return the ESC to its manufacturer for repair.

The boat ran backward when increasing the throttle amount.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
Connected the ESC & motor wires incorrectly.	Swap any two wire connections between the ESC and the motor.

Relevant Settings

The ESC was unable to connect a program box (three "---" lines was displayed on the LED program box.)

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. Reversely plugged the programming cable into the port on program box or plugged the programming cable into the wrong port on program box. .	1. Refer to the silkscreen mark beneath/above the program port on the program box and plug the programming cable in.
2. Reversely plugged the programming cable into the port on ESC or plugged the programming cable into the wrong port on ESC.	2. There is a separate programming port on the ESC , please refer to the coressponding marks and connect the ESC to a prorgram box/card via the programming cable.
3. Something wrong with the ESC or the program box.	3. Run some tests with another ESC/program box (ensure it functions well before tests) to see if the ESC/program box is broken and then return the unit to its manufacturer for repair.

It was unable to complete the throttle range calibration.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. The throttle cable was not plugged into the right channel but other channel like ST channel.	1. Plug the throttle cable into the channel marked with "TH" letters on the receiver.
2. The throttle cable was reversely plugged into the channel.	2. Check the corrensponding mark on the receiver and then plug in the throttle cable correctly.
