Your ESC has been pre-installed at the factory but before using your vehicle each time it is good to double check the wiring for dam-
age 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 operat-
ing 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 back-

ward and it will fl ash 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).

• Protection Functions:

› Low voltage cut-off protection: If the voltage of a Lipo battery pack is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will 

cut of the output power. Please note that the ESC cannot be restarted if the voltage of each Lipo cell is lower than 3.5V. 

» For NiMH battery packs, if the voltage of the whole NiMH battery pack is higher than 9.0V but lower than 12V, it will be 

considered as a 3S Lipo; If it is lower than 9.0V, it will be considered as a 2S Lipo. For example, if the NiMH battery pack 
is 8.0V, and the threshold is set to 2.6V/Cell, it is considered as a 2S Lipo, and the low-voltage cut-off threshold for this 
NiMH battery pack is 2.6*2=5.2V.   

› Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over 105 degrees Celcius for 5 seconds, the ESC will cut off the 

output power.

› Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will cut off the 

output power if the throttle signal is lost for 0.2 second.

Throttle range calibration:

Hold your transmitter approx 1ft away while setting.

1.  Turn Transmitter ON fi rst (transmitter should alwasy be on if 

ESC is ON.

2.  Ensure your Throttle channel (Ch. 2) on your transmitter is 

set to “Reverse”.

3.  Adjust both Throttle and Reverse/Brake EPA settings to 

100%.

4.  With the ESC OFF, press and hold the Set button near the 

switch and turn the ESC ON to enter setup mode. Release 
the button as soon as the LED begins to fl ash. 

5.  Without touching the trigger, press button to set the neutral 

position, GREEN LED will fl ash 1 time.

6.  Pull/hold full throttle, press the button again, release the 

trigger, GREEN LED will fl ash 2 times.

7.  Push/hold full brake/reverse, press the button again, GREEN 

LED will fl ash 3 times. Release trigger.

8.  Switch ESC OFF and back ON to complete setup.
9.  Check the ESC operation to ensure forward throttle is actu-

ally forward, if not, switch any two of the motor wires and 
re-check. Then repeat steps 3-8.
