RADIENT REAKTOR 50-4 BRUSHLESS SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1/10th SCALE 2WD
MONSTER TRUCK
The Radient Reaktor series brushless motor and ESC is a great power
plant to satisfy your need for speed and performance as an entry level
brushless system. Though the Reaktor system was engineered for
value, performance was definitely a factor. We’ve included some great
features for you to help keep your system running in top shape while
keeping your battery upgrade path open since it is compatible with
LiPo batteries.
WARNING: ALWAYS ALLOW YOUR MOTOR TO COOL BETWEEN RUNS.
EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION AND AGGRESSIVE DRIVING WILL CAUSE
YOUR SYSTEM TO GET HOT. EXCERCISE GREAT CARE WHEN HANDLING
YOUR VEHICLE AFTER RUNNING TO AVOID GETTING BURNED.
Some great features of your new ESC include:
• Water-proof and dust-proof. The ESC can work under water for a
short time.
• (Please remove the cooling fan when running car in water, and
after
running, please make the ESC clean and then dry it to avoid oxida-
tion of the copper connectors)
• Specially designed for RC car and truck, with excellent start-up,
acceleration and linearity features.
• Compatible with sensorless brushless motors.
• 2 running modes suitable for different applications (“Forward with brake” mode, “Forward/Backward with brake”
mode).
• Proportional ABS brake function with 4 steps of maximum brake force adjustment, 8 steps of drag-brake force adjust-
ment.
• 4 start modes (“Punch”) from “Soft” to “Very aggressive” to be suitable for different chassis, tires and tracks.
• Multiple protection features: Low voltage cut-off protection for Lipo or NiMH battery / Over-heat protection / Throttle
signal loss protection /
Motor blocked protection.a
• Easily programmed with the “SET” button on the ESC or with the LED Program Card.
Your ESC has been pre-installed at the factory but before using your vehicle each time it is good to double check the wir-
ing for damage or loose connections to ensure everything is in working order before use. Refere to the diagram below to
check the connections of your electronics system. Some brushless motors such as the Reaktor included with your vehicle
use only black wires, this is okay. On sensorless brushless systems the motor will change operating direction when any
two of the motor wires are swapped.
The Reaktor ESC is programmed to communicate with you, letting you know its status.
• LED Status:
› In normal use, if the throttle trigger is in the neutral
range, neither the red LED nor the green LED light
up.
› The red LED lights when the car is run forward or
backward and it will flash quickly when the car is
braking.
› The green LED lights when the throttle trigger is
moved to the full throttle position.
• Alert Tones:
› Input voltage abnormal alert tone: The ESC begins
to check the input voltage when power on, if it is
out of the normal range, such an alert tone will be
emitted: “beep-beep-, beep-beep-, beep-beep-”
(There is 1 second time interval between every
“beep-beep-” tone).
› Throttle signal abnormal alert tone: When the ESC
can’t detect the normal throttle signal, such an
alert tone will be emitted: “beep-, beep-, beep-”
(There is 2 seconds time interval between every “beep-” tone).
