Setting Up the Brake Function

SuperTigre ESCs include an adjustable brake function. To keep 
the factory default brake setting of “off”, skip to the next section. 
To turn the brake “on”:

1.  With the transmitter power turned off, move the throttle stick 

to full position.

2.  Turn on the transmitter and connect the fully charged battery 

to the ESC.

3.  After 5 seconds the motor will beep twice.
4.  Move the throttle stick to the minimum position. The motor will 

beep twice.

5.  Again move the throttle stick to full power. The motor will beep 

twice to confi rm the brake is now “on”.

6.  Move the throttle stick back to “off”. The motor will now beep four 

times, indicating the motor is “armed”. The motor WILL ROTATE 
anytime the throttle stick is advanced.

Once the brake is set, it does not require resetting after the ESC 
has been switched off. 

If the brake had previously been turned on, but you wish to turn 
the brake off, repeat the above process. This time the motor will 
only beep once with each stick movement, but will beep four 
times again at the end to indicate the ESC is armed.

Arming the ESC & Safe-Start Function

If ready to apply power to the motor:

1.  Turn the transmitter’s power on.
2.  Move the throttle stick to the minimum or brake position 

(towards you).

3.  Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC. The motor will beep 

to indicate the brake setting (once for off, twice for on). 

4.  Move the throttle stick to full. The motor will again beep once 

or twice to indicate the brake setting.

5.  Move the throttle stick to “off” or “brake” and the motor will 

beep four times. The ESC is now “armed”, and the motor WILL 
ROTATE anytime the throttle stick is advanced.

If the ESC does not operate properly or makes a low pitched 
beeping sound following the above set-up procedure, disconnect 
the battery from the ESC, reverse the throttle setting on the 
transmitter and repeat the ESC set-up.

SAFE-START:

 As a safety precaution to prevent the motor from 

rotating when the battery is fi rst connected, you must “arm” the 
ESC every time you connect the battery. The propeller will NOT 
rotate until the ESC is armed. To arm the ESC, move the throttle 
stick to full position, then back to “off” (or “brake”). 

Now the motor 

will rotate anytime the throttle stick is advanced away from 
the “off” position! Care must be exercised when near the 
model’s propeller!
