# Can't set up the Throttle/ Brake end points with DX4S Radio
When I tried to set the Throttle/Brake end points for Xerun SCT PRO combo it wouldn't let me program the full brake end point with the new DX4S Radio.

Check the ABS function is enabled.  If it is, disable this function first. then properly set the Throttle/Brake end points on the ESC.

What is the design temp for HW ESC and Motor? 

Generally, our ESC is designed for the performance at temperature range upto 70, the highest at 80 ℃ (150F-176F). Any higher temp will result in damaging ESC.  For HOBBYWING brushless Motor, 90-100℃ (194-212F) is within threshold.  Any higher temp will damage the motor. 

My LCD program box does not work..

Following reasons are the most common problems

  1. LCD program box is not connected to a ESC correctly.
    Please check the connection between the ESC and the program box.  Especially for Xerun SCT-PRO, the wire needs to connect at 'the fan wire port'.  Meaning you need to dis-connect the fan wire to connect with the wire cable from the program box.   - This is the most common mistake.
