and then re-push the trigger quickly (
2
nd
push
), only then the vehicle will reverse. The reverse function will not work if your car does not come to a
complete stop.The vehicle only reverses after the motor stops. This method is for preventing vehicle from being accidentally reversed.
2)
Lipo Cells
“Auto Calculation” is the default setting. If LiPo batteries are often used with the same cell count, we would strongly recommend setting this item
manually to avoid the incorrect “calculation” (For instance, the ESC may take a not fully charged 3S LiPo as a fully charged 2S LiPo) which may cause
the low-voltage cutoff protection to not function ideally.
3)
Cutoff Voltage
Sets the voltage at which the ESC lowers or removes power to the motor in order to either keep the battery at a safe minimum voltage (for LiPo
batteries). The ESC monitors the battery voltage all the time, it will immediately reduce the power to 50% and cut off the output 10 seconds later when
the voltage goes below the cutoff threshold. The RED LED will flash a short, single flash that repeats (

☆
,
☆
) to indicate the low-voltage cutoff
protection is activated. Please set the “Disabled” the “Cutoff Voltage” if you are using Ni-Mh batteries.
Warning:
If you set the Cutoff Voltage to Disabled when you use a LiPo pack, then please pay attention to the power change of your vehicle. In
general, the battery voltage gets pretty low when your vehicle is severely losing power, then you should stop using that pack.
4)
ESC Thermal Protection
The ESC will automatically cut off the output with the GREEN LED flashes (
☆
,
☆
,
☆
) when the temperature gets up to the value you've previously
preset and activates the ESC Thermal Protection. The output will not resume until the temperature gets down.
5)
Motor Thermal Protection
This item has been permanently set to “None” by the manufacturer.
6)
Motor Rotation
Pull the throttle trigger with the motor shaft facing you, the motor spins counter clockwise. When this item is set to
CCW
; the motor spins clockwise.
When it is set to
CW
. The (A/B/C) wiring order of motors from different manufacturers may vary, so do the direction of the motor rotations. You can
adjust the “Motor Rotation” or swap any two (ESC-to-motor) wires if the motor runs in reverse.
7)
BEC Voltage
：
Option 1
：
6.0V
It’s applicable to ordinary servos. Do not use this option with high voltage servos; otherwise your servos may not function normally due to insufficient
voltage.
Option 2
：
7.4V
It’s applicable to high voltage servos. Do not use this option with ordinary servos; otherwise your servos may be burnt due to high voltage.
8)
Max. Brake Force
The ESC provides proportional braking function; the braking effect is decided by the position of the throttle trigger. It sets the percentage of available
braking power when full brake is applied. Large amount will shorten the braking time but it may damage your pinion and spur. Please select the most
suitable brake amount as per your car condition and your preference.
9)
Max. Reverse Force
Different reverse amount will bring different reversing speed. For the safety of your vehicle, we recommend using a low amount.
10) Start Mode / Punch
You can choose the punch from level 1 (very soft) to level 5 (very aggressive) as per the track, tires, grip, conditions. This feature is very useful for
preventing tires from wheel-spinning during the warm-up process. In addition, “level 4” and “level 5” have strict requirement on battery’s discharge
capability. It may affect the starting-up if the battery discharges poorly and cannot provide large current in a short time. If the car stutters or suddenly
loses power in the starting-up process, indicates that the battery’s discharge capability is poor, you might need to reduce the punch or increase the FDR
(Final Drive Ratio).
11) Drag Brake
Drag brake is the braking power produced when releasing from full speed to neutral zone. This is to simulate the slight braking effect of a neutral
brushed motor while coasting. (Attention! Drag brake will consume much power, so apply it cautiously.)
7 ESC Programming
s
1)
Programming your ESC with the SET button
Note 2:
a) For easy recognition, the motor beeps at the same time when the GREEN LED flashes.
b) When “N” (the number) is equal to or bigger than 5, we use a long flash to represent “5”. For example, the GREEN LED flashes a long flash (and the
motor beeps a long beep at the same time) indicating you are in the 5
th
programmable item; if the GREEN flashes a long flash and a short flash (and the
motor beeps a long beep and a short beep at the same time) indicating you are in the 6
th
programmable item; a long flash and two short flashes ( a long
beep and two short beeps at the same time) indicating you’re in the 7
th
programmable item and so on.
2)
Program your ESC with a LED program card
The portable LED program card is an optional accessory applicable for field use. Its friendly interface makes the ESC programming easy and quick.
Before the programming, you need to connect your ESC and the program card via a cable with two JR male connectors (as shown below), and then
turn on the ESC, all programmable items will show up a few seconds later. You can select the item by choosing via “ITEM” & “VALUE” buttons on the
program card. Press the “OK” button to save all new settings to your ESC.
Note 3:
the programming port of this ESC is also the fan port, so you need to unplug the fan first and then plug (one end of) the programming cable in the
PRG/FAN port and the other end (of the programming cable) in the ESC port on the LCD program box. Please don’t use the throttle control cable
(also called Rx cable) on the ESC to connect the program card/box, otherwise the program card/box won’t function.
8 Factory Reset
s
1)
Restore the default values with the SET button
Press and hold the SET button for over 3 seconds anytime when the throttle trigger is at the neutral position
(except during the ESC calibration and programming) can factory reset your ESC. RED & GREEN LEDs flash
simultaneously indicating you have successfully restored all the default values within your ESC. Once you power
the ESC off, and then back on, your settings will be back in the default mode.
2)
Restore the default values with a LED program card
After connecting the program card to the ESC, press the “RESET” button and the “OK” button to factory reset
your ESC.
9 Troubleshooting
s
Trouble
Possible Reason
Solution
After power on, motor doesn’t work, and the
cooling fan doesn’t work
No power was supplied to the ESC.
Check if all ESC & battery connectors have
beenwell soldered or firmly connected.
The ESC switch was damaged
Replace the broken switch.
After power on, motor can’t work, but emits “beep-
beep-, beep-beep-” alert tone. (Every “beep-beep-”
has a time interval of 1 second )
Input voltage is abnormal, too high or too low
Check the voltage of the battery pack
After the ESC was powered on and finished LiPo
cells detection (the GREEN LED flashed N times),
and then the RED LED flashed rapidly.
The ESC didn't detect any throttle signal.
Check if the throttle wire is reversely plugged in
orin the wrong channel and if the transmitter
isturned on.
The neutral throttle value stored on your ESC is
different from the value stored on the transmitter
Re-calibrate the throttle range after you
releasethe throttle trigger to the neutral position.
The motor runs in the opposite direction when it is
accelerated
The (ESC-to-motor) wiring order was incorrect.
Swap any two wire connections between the ESC
and the motor.
Your chassis is different from popular chassis.
The motor suddenly stops running while in working
state
The throttle signal is lost
Check the transmitter and the receiver
Check the signal wire from the throttle channel of
your receiver
The ESC has entered the Low Voltage Protection
Mode or Over-heat Protection Mode
Red LED flashing means Low Voltage. Green
LED flashing means Over-heat
The motor stuttered but couldn’t start.
Some soldering between the motor and the ESC
was not good.
Check all soldering points, please re-solder if
necessary.
The ESC was damaged (some MOSFETs were
burnt).
Contact the distributor for repair or other
customer services.
The vehicle could run forward (and brake), but
could not reverse.
The throttle neutral position on your transmitter
was actually in the braking zone.
Re-calibrate the throttle neutral position. No LED
on the ESC will come on when the throttle trigger
is at the neutral position.
Set the “Running Mode” improperly.
Set the “running mode” to “Forward/Reverse with
Brake”.
The ESC was damaged.
Contact the distributor for repair or other
customer services.
The car ran forward/backward slowly when the
throttle trigger was at the neutral position.
The neutral position on the transmitter was not
stable, so signals were not stable either.
Replace your transmitter
The ESC calibration was not proper.
Re-calibrate the throttle range or fine tune the
neutral position on the transmitter.
The LED program card kept display 3 short lines (-
- -) after you connected it to your ESC.
The programming card/box was connected to the
ESC via the throttlecontrol cable (Rx cable).
It is wrong to use the Rx cable to connect
programming card/box. The programming port of
this ESC is also the fan port, so please connect
the ESC and programming card/box by plugging
the programming cable into the fan port.
When pressing the SET button to set the throttle
neutral position, the GREEN LED didn’t flash and
no beep was emitted, or you were unable to set
the full throttle endpoint and the full brake endpoint
after the neutral position was accepted.
The ESC throttle cable wasn’t plugged in the
correct channel on the receiver.
Plug the throttle cable into the throttle (TH)
channel on your receiver.
The ESC throttle cable was reversely plugged in.
Plug in the throttle cable properly by referring to
relevant mark shown on your receiver.
