Attention! 

The temperature of its Aluminum housing may be very high when there is heavy load. For precaution, we recommend users to have a fan blown towards the ESC. 

(Start with the ESC turned off), press the ON/OFF button to turn on the ESC (the indication LED comes on); and press the ON/OFF button again to turn off the ESC (the indication LED dies out). 

Note 3

: 

Do not turn off the ESC when the motor is spinning. The sudden stoppage may result in unwanted damage to both the motor and ESC. If there is an emergency, battery plugs can be 

pulled out to switch the ESC off.

1A. Running Mode

      Option 1: Forward with Brake

Racing mode. It has only forward and brake functions.

      Option 2: Forward/ Reverse with Brake

This฀option฀is฀known฀to฀be฀the฀“training”฀mode฀with฀“Forward/฀Reverse฀with฀Brake”฀functions.฀Hobbywing฀has฀adopted฀the฀“DOUBLE-CLICK”฀method,฀that฀is฀your฀vehicle฀only฀brakes฀on฀

the 1st time you push the throttle trigger forward (brake) (1st push). The motor stops when you quickly release the throttle trigger and then re-push the trigger quickly (2nd 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. 

      Option 3: Forward and Reverse

This฀mode฀is฀often฀used฀by฀special฀vehicles฀(rock฀crawler).฀It฀adopts฀the฀“SINGLE-CLICK”฀method.฀The฀vehicle฀will฀reverse฀immediately฀when฀you฀push฀the฀throttle฀trigger฀forward฀(brake).฀

1B. Max. Reverse Force

The reverse force of the value will determine its speed. For the safety of your vehicle, we recommend using a low amount. 

1C. 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 30% (in 3 seconds) 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฀“Cutoff฀Voltage”฀to฀“Disabled”฀or฀customize฀this฀item฀if฀you฀

are using NiMH batteries. 

      Option 1: Disabled

The ESC does not cut the power off due to low voltage. We do not recommend using this option when you use any LiPo battery as you will irreversibly damage the product. You need to 

select this option when you are using a NiMH pack. 

      Option 2: Auto

The฀ESC฀calculates฀the฀corresponding฀cutoff฀voltage฀as฀per฀the฀number฀of฀LiPo฀cells฀it฀detects฀and฀the฀“3.3V/cell”฀rule.฀For฀example,฀if฀the฀ESC฀detects฀a฀2S,฀the฀cutoff฀voltage฀for฀the฀

battery shall be 6.6V. 

      Option 3: Customized

The customized cutoff threshold is a voltage for the whole battery pack (adjustable from 3.0V to 8.0V). Please calculate the value as per the number of LiPo cells you are using. 

For example, when you use a 2S and you want the cutoff voltage for each cell is 2.8V, you will need to set this item to 5.6V. 

1D. ESC Thermal Protection

The output from the ESC will be cut off with the value you have preset.

The GREEN LED flashes (

) when the ESC temperature reaches to the preset value. The output will not resume until the ESC temperature gets down. 

      Warning! Please do not disable this function unless you’re in a competition. Otherwise the high temperature may damage your ESC and even your motor. 

1E. Motor Thermal Protection

The GREEN LED flashes (

) when the motor temperature reaches to the preset value. The output will not resume until the motor temperature gets down. 

      Warning! 

Please do not disable this function unless you’re in a competition. Otherwise the high temperature may damage your motor and even your ESC. For non-Hobbywing motor, 

      the ESC may get this protection activated too early/late because of the different temperature sensor inside the motor. In this case, please disable this function and monitor the motor  

      temperature manually. 

1F. 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.

1G. Remote Off 

      Option 1: Enabled

Users฀can฀simply฀push฀and฀hold฀the฀brake฀trigger฀for฀6฀seconds.฀This฀option฀allows฀the฀user฀to฀turn฀off฀the฀ESC฀without฀pushing฀the฀ON/OFF฀button฀switch.

      Option 2: Disabled

Users฀must฀turn฀off฀the฀ESC฀by฀pressing฀the฀ON/OFF฀switch฀button฀from฀the฀ESC.

1H. Sensor Mode

      Full Sensored

The฀power฀system฀will฀work฀in฀the฀“sensored”฀mode฀at฀all฀times.฀The฀efficiency฀and฀drivability฀of฀this฀mode฀is฀at฀the฀highest.฀

2A. Throttle Rate Control

This item is used to control the throttle response. It can be adjustable from 1 to 30 (step: 1), the lower the throttle rate, the more the limit will be on the throttle response. A suitable rate 

can฀help฀driver฀to฀control฀his฀vehicle฀properly฀during฀the฀starting-up฀process.฀Generally,฀you฀can฀set฀it฀to฀a฀high฀value฀to฀have฀a฀quick฀throttle฀response฀if฀you฀are฀proficient฀at฀throttle฀control.฀

2B. Throttle Curve

The throttle curve parameter reconciles the position of the throttle trigger (in throttle zone) and the actual ESC throttle output. It is linear by default and we can change it to non-linear via 

adjusting the throttle curve. For example, if adjust it to +EXP, the throttle output at the early stage will be higher (than the output when the curve is linear); if it is adjusted to –EXP, 

the throttle output at the early stage will be lower (than the output when the curve is linear). 

2C. Neutral Range

As฀not฀all฀transmitters฀have฀the฀same฀stability฀at฀“neutral฀position”,฀please฀adjust฀this฀parameter฀as฀per฀your฀preference.฀You฀can฀adjust฀to฀a฀bigger฀value฀when฀this฀happens.฀

2D. Coast

The RPM of the motor will be lowered gradually when throttle is reduced. The vehicle will not reduce speed abruptly when the throttle is reduced to return to the neutral position. 

The฀bigger฀the฀value,฀the฀more฀the฀“COAST”฀will฀be฀felt.฀Example,฀COAST฀of฀0฀deactivates,฀and฀a฀COAST฀of฀20%฀would฀be฀the฀maximum฀amount฀of฀COAST.

USER MANUAL

XERUN XR10 STOCK SPEC

Brushless Electronic Speed Controller

Note 1: 

The recommended T counts are only applicable with the standard 3650/540 size (3 slot 2 pole) motors when ESCs are in blinky mode.

1. Motor Wiring

    The motor wiring is different between the sensored and the sensorless; please only follow the introductions below.

฀฀฀฀•฀

Sensored Motor Wiring

       There is strict wiring order from the ESC to the motor, the three A/B/C ESC wires must connect to the three A/B/C motor wires correspondingly. Next, connect the ESC sensor port and 
       the motor sensor port with the stock 6-pin sensor cable. If you don’t plug the sensor cable in, your ESC will still work in sensorless mode even if you’re using a sensored motor.

฀฀฀฀•฀

Sensorless Motor Wiring

฀฀฀฀฀฀฀Users฀do฀not฀need฀to฀be฀worried฀in฀regards฀to฀the฀connectivity฀with฀the฀A/B/C(ESC฀and฀motor)฀as฀there฀is฀no฀polarity.฀You฀may฀find฀it฀necessary฀to฀swap฀two฀wires฀if฀the฀motor฀runs฀in฀

       reverse. 

2. Receiver Wiring

    The throttle control cable on the ESC has to be plugged into the throttle (TH) channel on the receiver. The throttle control cable has an output voltage of 6V/7.4V to the receiver and 
    steering servo, hence, no separate battery can be connected to the receiver. Otherwise, your ESC may be damaged.

3. External switch Connecting (Optional): 

    A detachable switch (stock accessory) is included in the product box. You only need to plug this switch into the 3-pin port marked with "SW" when you want to use external switch 
    (instead of the built-in electronic switch).   

3. Battery Wiring

    Proper polarity is essential. Please ensure positive (+) connects to positive (+), and negative (-) connects to negative (-) when plugging in the battery! When reverse polarity is applied to 
    the ESC from the battery, it WILL damage the ESC. This WILL NOT be covered under warranty! 

Note 4: 

Item฀4C฀(Boost฀Start฀RPM)฀&฀item฀4D฀(Boost฀End฀RPM)฀are฀not฀programmable฀if฀item฀4B฀(Timing฀Activation)฀is฀set฀to฀“Auto”.฀
