MOTOR TO ESC CONNECTION
1. Connect the blue motor lead to the blue ESC lead.
2. Connect the yellow motor lead to the yellow ESC lead.
3. Connect the orange motor lead to the orange ESC lead.
If the motor turns in the wrong direction, reverse the connection of any 2 motor wires.
NOTICE:
Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when you have finished operating your vehicle. The ESC’s switch only
controls power to the receiver and servos. The ESC will continue to draw current when connected to the battery, resulting
in possible damage to the battery through over discharge.
ESC CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Ensure proper ESC function by calibrating the ESC to your transmitter inputs. The motor should be left connected during
calibration, it will not run during calibration for safety.
1. Power OFF the ESC.
2. Ensure your transmitter is powered ON, the throttle is not reversed, the throttle trim is neutral and the throttle travel
range is at 100%. Disable any special functions such as ABS, etc.
3. Press the SET button while powering ON the ESC. Release the button as soon as the red LED starts to flash and the
motor emits a beep.
4. Calibrate the throttle points by pressing the SET button once after each step.
• Set Neutral: leave the throttle at rest, untouched and press the SET button
(1 green flash; 1 motor)
• Set Full Throttle: pull the throttle fully back, then press the SET button
(2 green flashes; 2 motor beeps)
• Set Full Brake/Reverse: push the throttle fully forward, then press the SET button
(3 green flashes; 3 motor beeps)
NOTICE:
The motor will NOT run during the calibration procedure.
5. Power off the ESC. The ESC is calibrated and ready to run.
ESC FUNCTIONS AND MODES
The ESC includes programming options so you can adjust the way your vehicle performs.
Refer to the included settings table to adjust the ESC for your driving conditions.
ESC PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
Programming is accomplished using the SET button on the ON/OFF switch.
1. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
2. Power ON the ESC using the ESC switch.
3. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the green LED flashes, then release the SET button.
4. Press the SET button once until the green LED blinks once in sequence, indicating programmable value 1 is currently
selected.
Pressing the setup button once more moves to programmable value 2, etc. until the desired programmable value is
reached. The system continues in a ‘loop’.
5. When at the desired menu item, hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the red LED blinks.
The RED flashing sequence indicates the actual setting; for example one flash indicates value 1 is selected, two
flashes indicates value 2, etc..
6. Press the setup button in sequence to select the desired programmable value. The system continues in a “loop.”
7. Save the setting by holding the SET button for 3 seconds. The motor beeps once.
8. Power OFF the ESC then immediately power it ON. The setting change is stored.
Only one setting can be stored/saved at a time.

DESCRIPTIONS
1. Running Mode:
-
Forward Only with Brake
Intended for competition use, this mode allows only forward and brake controls.
-
Forward/Reverse with Brake
This mode is the basic all-around mode, allowing forward, reverse and brake controls. To engage reverse while moving forward,
apply the brake until the vehicle has come to a complete stop, release brake, then apply the brake again. While braking or in
reverse, engaging the throttle will result in the vehicle immediately accelerating forward.
2. Drag Brake Force
Adjusts the amount of brake automatically applied when the throttle is returned to the neutral position. This simu-
lates the engine braking effect of a full-scale vehicle, allowing improved turn-in and your vehicle’s general response
to controls.
3. Low Voltage Cutoff
This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the battery’s voltage. If the
voltage falls below the voltage threshold for 2 seconds, the output power shuts off and the red LED flashes twice
repeatedly.
The cutoff threshold calculation is based on individual Li-Po cell voltage. For Ni-MH batteries, if the voltage battery
pack is higher than 9.0V, it will be treated as a 3-cell Li-Po battery pack; if it is lower than 9.0V, it will be treated as a
2-cell Li-Po battery pack. Example: for a 8.0V Ni-MH battery pack used with a 2.6V/cell threshold, it will be treated as
a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack and the low-voltage cut-off threshold will be 5.2V (2.6 x 2=5.2).
4. Start Mode
Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level 1 gives
a very soft initial acceleration and Level 4 gives a stronger initial acceleration.
5. Max Brake Force
Adjusts the maximum braking force. A higher value provides stronger braking,
but can also cause the wheels to lock, resulting in loss of control of the car.
6. Punch
Select from start mode Level 1 (Soft) to Level 9 (Very aggressive). If you choose Levels 7–9, use a high quality battery
pack with powerful discharge ability. Without a high quality battery pack, the modes will not give a bursting start
effect. If the motor does not run smoothly (i.e., trembling), choose a better battery or increase the gear rate.
