01
1 Turn on the transmitter, ensure all parameters(D/R, Curve, ATL)
on the throttle channel are at default (100%). For transmitter
without LCD, please turn the knob to the maximum, and the
throttle “TRIM” to 0. Please also turn the corresponding knob to
the neutral position. For Futaba
TM
transmitter, the direction of
throttle channel shall be set to “REV”, while other radio systems
shall be set to “NOR”. Please ensure the “ABS / braking function”
of your transmitter must be DISABLED.
2 Start by turning on the transmitter with the ESC turned off but
connected to a battery. Holding the SET button and press the
ON/OFF button, the RED LED on the ESC starts to flash (
Note 1
the motor beeps at the same time), and then release the SET button
immediately. (The ESC will enter the programming mode if the
SET button is not released in 3 seconds, please restart from step 1.)
Note 1
:
Beeps from the motor may be low sometimes, and you
can check the LED status instead.
3 Set the neutral point, the full throttle endpoint and the full brake
endpoint.
1) Leave transmitter in neutral position and press the SET button.
After the RED LED dies out, Mode LED flashes GREEN and
motor beeps 1 time. Neutral setting is stored.
2) Hold full throttle on transmitter and press the SET button once.
GREEN LED blinks and motor beeps 2 times. Full throttle setting
is stored.
3) Push and hold full brake and press the SET button, the GREEN
LED blinks and the motor beeps 3 times. Full brake setting is
stored.
4 The motor will work 3 seconds after the ESC/Radio calibration
is complete.
Congratulations and thank you for your trust in Hobbywing product. By purchasing WP-MAX10/MAX10-SCT-RTR, you
have chosen a high performance brushless electronic speed controller! This sensorless speed-control is equipped with
high-tech features to enhance your experience with Hobbywing Brushless power systems. Improper usage and
unauthorized modifications to our product is extremely dangerous and may damage the product and related devices.
Please take your time and read the following instructions carefully before you start using your speed control.
01 Warnings
s
Ensure all wires and connections are well insulated before connecting the ESC to related devices, as short circuit will damage your ESC.
Ensure all devices are well connected to prevent poor connection that may cause your vehicle to lose control or other unpredictable issues such as
damage to the device.
Read through the manuals of all power devices and chassis and ensure the power configuration is rational before using this unit.
Please use a soldering iron with the power of at least 60W to solder all input/output wires and connectors.
Do not hold the vehicle in the air and rev it up to full throttle, as rubber tires can “expand” to extreme size or even crack to cause serious injury.
Stop using the ESC when its casing temperature exceeds 90
℃
/194
℉
; otherwise your ESC will get destroyed and may also get your motor damaged.
We recommend setting the “ESC Thermal Protection” to 105
℃
/221
℉
(this refers to the internal temperature of the ESC).
We recommend removing the cooling fan from ESC before exposing vehicle to liquids, and fully dry it right after use.
Always disconnect the batteries after use, as the ESC will continue to consume current if it’s connected to batteries (even if the ESC is turned off).
Long-time contact will cause batteries to completely discharge and result in damage to batteries or ESC. This WILL NOT be covered under warranty.
2 Features
s
ESC is compatible with both sensorless and sensored brushless motors (only in sensorless mode).
Fully waterproof design for all conditions.
Super internal switch-mode BEC with switchable voltage of 6V/7.4V for usage with high torque and high voltage servos.
Highly reliable electronic switch design prevent mechanical switch failure due to dirt, water, dust and etc.
Separate programming port to easily connect the LED program card or the LCD program box to the ESC.
Proportional brake with 9 levels of maximum brake force and drag brake force.
5 levels of acceleration/punch from soft to aggressive for different vehicles, tires and tracks.
Capacitor Protection
：
Innovative Capacitor Protection effectively protects capacitors from exploding and causing irreversible damage to the ESC from
overloading.
Multiple protections: motor lock-up protection, low-voltage cutoff protection, thermal protection, overload protection, and fail safe (throttle signal loss
protection).
Single-button ESC programming and factory reset.
Advanced programming via portable LED program card.

4 Begin To Use The New ESC
s
1. Connect the ESC, Motor, Receiver, Battery And Servo
The #A, #B, #C wires of the ESC can be connected with the motor wires freely (without any sequence). If the motor runs in the opposite direction, please
swap any two wire connections.
This is an extremely powerful brushless motor system. For your safety and the safety of those around you, we strongly recommend removing the pinion
before performing calibration and programming functions with this system, and keeping wheels in the air when you turn on the ESC.
2. Radio Calibration
Begin using your ESC by calibrating with your transmitter. We strongly recommend Hobbywing users to use the “Fail Safe” function on the radio system and
set (F/S) to “Output OFF” or “Neutral Position”.
Example of caliberating Neutral range and Endpoint.
5 Power On-OFF Warning
s
1) Power ON/OFF: (Start with the ESC turned off), press the ON/OFF button to turn on the ESC; (start with the ESC turned on) press and hold the ON/OFF
button to turn off the ESC.
2) Warning Tones: Turn on the ESC (that is to turn it on without holding the SET button); the motor will beep the number of LiPo cellsyou have plugged in. For
example, 2 beeps indicate a 2S LiPo, 3 beeps indicate a 3S LiPo.

Running Mode
Option 1: Forward with Brake
It has forward and brake functions only and is usually a racing mode.
Option 2: Forward / Reverse with Brake
This mode can be used as for training and it has “Forward/ Reverse with Brake” mode. Hobbywing adopted the “DOUBLE-CLICK” method, that is your
vehicle only brakes on the 1
st
time you push the throttle trigger forward (brake)
(1
st
push)
. The motor stops when you quickly release the throttle trigger
