PREPARATION
Plan Speed Control Placement
Mount Speed Control in V ehicle
1)
2)
For best choice we recommand you to use screws to mount the ESC to the chassis.
Use a small piece of double-sided tape on the ON/OFF switch.
LED Indicator
Choose a location for the speed control that is protected from road debris. To prevent radio
interference, place the ESC far away from the radio receiver and keep the power wires as
short as possible. Select a location that has good airflow ventilating. If the ESC gets air flow,
it will run cooler; and that means it will be more efficient.
Soldering
Cut the ESC's BLUE, YELLOW & ORANGE silicone motor power wires to the desired
length and strip about 3.2mm-6.35mm (1/8”-1/4”) of insulation from the end of each wire.
“Pre-tin”the wire by heating the end and applying solder until it is thoroughly covered.
CAUTION: By very careful not to splash yourself with hot solder.
Place the ESC's BLUE Phase ‘A’ motor wire onto motor's ‘A’ solder tab and solder. Use
soldering iron to apply heat to exposed wire; begin adding solder to tip of soldering iron
and wire. Add just enough solder to form a clean and continuous joint from the plated
area of the solder tab up onto the wire. Solder the ESC's YELLOW Phase‘B’ motor wire
to the motor's ‘B' solder tab and Solder the ESC's ORANGE Phase ‘C' motor wire to
motor’s ‘C’ solder tab.
3)
For a brushless non-sensor system, there is no polarity on the motor side of the
controller. Simply solder the three wires to your motor. If the car runs backwards with
forward throttle, simply swap any two of the motor wires and it will reverse the direction
of the car.
