When answering a question, you will need to move the trigger to yes (full throttle) 
position or the no (full brake) position and keep it there for about 3 seconds. When the 
ESC has accepted your answer it will confirm your reply by flashing the LED and emitting 
a beeping tone. Release the trigger allowing it to go to Neutral to confirm that you are 
ready for ESC to ask you next question. You are not required to continue through all nine 
programming options. For example, if you wish only to change the Brake/Reverse Type 
(Option 1) then after programming that setting you can disconnect power from the ESC 
and you're ready to run. Disconnecting the controller in the middle of programming simply 
retains the values for the remaining programming options that were previously set up.

The TORO 8 comes with a 30mm x 30mm x 7mm 5V 
Brushless fan. Should the fan need replacement, 
simply unplug the fans power wires from the TORO 8, 
remove the 4 screws that secure the fan to the shroud 
and slide the fan out of the shroud housing.

Solution

: Try moving the throttle trim one way, then the other (usually towards the 

                  throttle side is best). If your transmitter has a 50/50 and 70/30 setting for the 
                  throttle, set it for 50/50 and retry calibration. Also, if you have changed the 
                  dead band to a narrower band you may want to try going back to the 

ormal  

                  setting. 

Problem

: My vehicle acts like it has  turbo lag  (poor acceleration/punch for the first 

                  few feet or yards) 

Problem

: My TORO ESC may or may not arm, but it will not calibrate to my transmitter

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The TORO 8 Brushless ESC is guaranteed to be free from defects in materials or 
workmanship for a period of ONE YEAR from the original date of purchase 

(verified by 

dated, itemized sales receipt)

. Warranty does not cover incorrect installation, 

components worn by use, damage to case or exposed circuit boards, damage due to 
timing, damage from using more than 6 Li-Po cells input voltage, cross-connection of 
battery/motor power wires, overheating solder tabs, reverse voltage application, 
improper use or installation of external BEC, damage resulting from thermal overload 
or short-circuiting motor, damage from incorrect installation of FET servo or receiver 
battery pack, tampering with internal electronics, allowing water, moisture, or any other 
foreign material to enter ESC or get onto the PC board, incorrect installation/wiring of 
input plug plastic, allowing exposed wiring or solder tabs to short-circuit, or any damage 
caused by a crash, flooding or natural disaster. Because SKYRC has no control over the 
connection & use of the speed control or other related electronics, no liability may be

Solution

: Most calibration issues can be solved by changing settings on the transmitter. 

                  Make sure you have both your throttle and brake endpoints (called EPA or 
                  ATV on your radio) on the throttle channel out to between 100 to 120%. Make 
                  sure if you have a Futaba or Futaba made transmitter to have the throttle 
                  channel set to the reversed position.

Problem

: My ESC calibrates for the full throttle and full brake positions but won't 

                  calibrate to the neutral throttle position. (Orange LED keeps flashing)

Solution

: Make sure you're using high quality batteries and a battery connector capable 

                  of high amp flow (40-100 amps). This behavior is very typical of a battery pack 
                  that is having difficulty providing the power your vehicle/system requires for 
                  top performance. Use copper bars to connect cells rather than welded tabs. 
                  Copper bars have a much lower resistance. 

Problem

: My battery pack is plugged into the ESC and nothing is working

Solution

: Make sure the ESC's receiver plug is plugged into channel 2 on the receiver, 

                  and that it's plugged in with the correct orientation. Double check your solder 
                  connections on the battery plug, and make sure the battery is showing good 
                  voltage.
