This is an instruction sheet for the new Outcry ESC (Electronic Speed Control). This will cover basic questions
about the ESC and how it works. If you have further questions about it’s the ESC. Please contact our support line,
or use our forum.
The Outcry ESC is has a built in non-adjustable drag break. The ESC comes with a BEC (battery eliminator
circuit). This allows you to get full power to the other electronics in your setup.
This ESC is a simple Plug and Play unit. Use the equipped plugs and install to your electronics. Make sure your
radio is plugged in, plug the battery into the ESC, and turn on your ESC. This should program everything and
then your ESC should be ready to use.
1. ESC Plugs and wires
In the photos below you can see the different wires coming from the Outcry ESC. We have used the dual motor ESC for
these photos. The only difference between the single version and dual version are the extra two motor wires on the dual
version.
A. In this photo you can see the ESC On/Off switch and the receiver throttle input plug. You will notice the red wire to the
receiver throttle input plug has been removed and heat shrink applied. This is to allow the BEC to apply full power to the
receiver and other electronics in your setup. It is very important to leave the shrink wrap on the red wire. (Removing the
shrink wrap can cause damage to the ESC and your other electronics)
The receiver plug will install into the throttle slot of your receiver. Please refer to your radio’s owner manual for instruc-
tions on which slot to plug the throttle control plug into.
B. This photo shows the BEC and battery plugs. The ESC is equipped with a standard Tamiya plug. This should make it
an easy plug and play for your battery connections. (changing the plug may void your warranty)
The plug on your BEC is a standard receiver plug. This will plug into two different spots on your receiver. Either your
Auxiliary, or Battery slots. Refer to the owner’s manual that came with your radio for these slots.
C. The motor wires are shown in this photo. Again the dual motor ESC was used for this manual. The single motor ESC
will only have the two motor wires. One black and one red. The dual motor has two black and two red.
We do not recommend removal of the fan from the ESC.
2. Receiver plug installation
We recommend you refer to your radios owner manual to help with this step.
Plug the receiver throttle control plug in the throttle control slot of your receiver. Plug the BEC plug into your Auxiliary,
or Battery control slot on you receiver.
Make sure the red wire with the heat shrink is up and out of the way. This is not supposed to be plugged into the receiver.
