Default Can't get to program my esc properly

I have this esc:






and i can't for the life of me get it programmed correctly.

Can someone please guide me step by step through how i adjust the amount of cells in the battery? When i turn the esc on it beeps 4 times which indicates 4S-battey, but i am going to use 3S. And please don't guide me to the user manual, it has confused me (but still helped a fair bit) enough for now.

I have managed to set the forward/reverse with brake (and throttle range setting), drag brake force and cut off-value, but whatever i am trying i just can't get the esc to beep 3 times when i turn it on. The flow chart doesn't give much info about what is on the lowest line other than "Nth item" whatever that is, and setting some values.

And can it, or can it not, be used together with a programming card? I don't seem to get a clear answer on this wherever i ask, i have heard that only the blue one (non ready to run-version) can be used together with a card.

I got his in a trade unused, have found out that it originally was operating in a Aftershock or a Backdraft.


Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

I have sorta figured it out now with using the set-button, so i have got to set how many cells i am using with my batteries. Sure it would have been easier with a program box, but many have said that they won't work together with this RTR-version that i have got, only the one with the blue casing.

But thanks for stopping by here and for the tip!
