ESC install

I see a few You Tube videos flashing ESC's. I bought 4 DYS units that said they were Simon something. Will I have to flash these things before powering up(how would I do that), or is it ready to operate?

It sounds like they are preflashed with simonk firmware so you should be good to go.

There are tools out there to flash to a different firmware like blheli.

Don't buy 'not flashed' ESCs. Stick to SimonK or BLHeli.

This is an interesting vid.
