The standard 1.64 software download is here
The new 3.1 software is here When you install it (as Pete says) 508_NoTiming is for blinky mode, and other versions can do timing. The 3.1 software can run with all versions of speedos including the new V3 controllers, whilst the 1.64 software will run on speed controllers up to 2.1 Any questions, please shout  Thanks Chris

There's an excellent step by step guide on YouTube that shows you how to upgrade software.
The software you want to run will depend on what car and class you are running. I run the 'mod' software on mine for off road. I put the new 3.1 software on the programming box and it didn't want to talk with my v2.1. I need to investigate further. ....

If you put that on the programming box then it'll only work with the V3 Speedo.
You have two options here: 1: Downgrade the box back to the 2.1 compatible software and it'll work again. 2: Connect via a copy of the 2.1 software (v1.6.4) using the upgraded box and change parameters on the PC rather than using the box.

"If you put that on the programming box then it'll only work with the V3 Speedo"
i think politely you may be incorrect there are two sets of firmware within 3.1 one as you quite rightly say is for v3 speedos the other v1.08 040512 (or something very similiar ) allows you to talk to v2 hobbywing etc ask me how i know !!! regards fid

as far as i can tell so far
if you have a V2.0 V2.1 or extreme stock and a V3 you can use V3.1 latest software but you will have to reflash your LCD programmer via laptop or pc each time you change from v3 to others i do of course stand to be corrected by the experts on here just what i have found so far by downloading v3.1 after being prompted by an update regards Fid

Trial and error = expert lol
I'll try it out tonight and see what happens. I have an old led box to adjust things if needed.

Realy easy way i do it is plug my Pro Box into my esc on the car then plug the other lead into my pc and then let the software update itself from the website. Job done, No probs at all as also been updating the new Bullistorm esc that is out so it doesnt blow up for other members of our club.
Plus what i`ve found is the Pro Box will only show what your able to adjust dependant on what esc you plug in. Eg an Xerun will be different to an Ezrun and so on.

 At least the programming boxes aren't £60 so no major hardship there.

For the V2.1, V2.0 and Xtreme Stock speedos - at time of writing (because HW change things all the time without sufficient documentation)...
1. Download and install the software package v3.1 - http://www.hobbywing.com/upload/soft...tup_120517.rar (older installations may prompt you to update automatically) 2. Run the software on your PC as an administrator (right click on the program to get this option, you can also set it to do this every time under the "Properties" option). 3. Wire everything up - Computer to LCD program box via USB; LCD box to ESC via receiver cable; ESC connected to the running battery and switched on. 4. Update the LCD Box first - on the "Device" menu select "LCD Program Box". In the left hand column select "Firmware upgrade". Update to V1.08_120504 (not the version marked xxx_V3). 5. Next, update the ESC - on the "Device" menu select "ESC". In the left hand column select "Firmware upgrade". In the drop down menu you will have a variety of softwares - 930STOCK is the latest stock motor version with maximum boost; 930MOD is a modified motor version with less boost; 508_NO_TIMING is the "blinky" mode; 205MOD is an older modified software with no boost. These will cover most racers needs. If the update fails (not unusual), try again. 6. Switch off the ESC and unplug the cables. You are now up to date with all the software. As far as the settings go, I would recommend leaving them at the defaults and changing one thing at a time if the feel is wrong. Explaining the settings is another thread's worth of info! Hopefully this is clear.
