• Please carefully read this entire User Manual before using your ESC.
• Improper use and/or unauthorized modification to the ESC is extremely dangerous and can cause damage to the ESC and
other connected devices, such as the motor, battery, servo, and transponder, which is not covered under warranty.
• Make sure the battery voltage does not exceed the rating shown in the specifications chart.
• Connecting the battery with reverse polarity will cause immediate damage to the ESC, which is not covered under warranty.
• Make sure all connection points are insulated, where possible, to avoid short circuits, which are not covered under warranty.
• Make sure the battery connectors are firmly secured into the battery. Loose battery connectors can cause your battery
case to melt at the connection points, which are not covered under warranty.
• Use a minimum 50-watt soldering iron for all input and output connections.
• Before attempting any soldering, make sure that you are confident in your soldering abilities. Improper soldering can cause
short circuits and poor performance, which is not covered under warranty. If you are unsure about soldering, please find
someone with experience who can help you.
• Do not allow the ESC to exceed 105˚C/221˚F, which can cause permanent damage to the ESC and/or motor, which is not
covered under warranty. We recommend leaving the “over-heat protection” set to the default setting of 221˚F and using the
included fan, for the best protection and performance.
• You must disconnect the battery after use. Even when the ESC is off, it will continue to slowly discharge the battery.
Over-discharged LiPo batteries can be permanently damaged and are very dangerous. Over-discharged batteries can cause
fire, explosion, bodily injury and property damage, which Fantom or any of Fantom’s associates cannot be held responsible
for. Damage to the ESC and/or battery, caused by an over-discharged battery is not covered under warranty.
• Do not rev the ESC to full throttle when your vehicle is lifted off the bench or overturned on the track, as this can cause
rubber tires to shred or explode, which is very dangerous and can cause bodily injury and property damage, which Fantom or
any of Fantom’s associates cannot be held responsible for. This can also cause permanent damage to your motor, which is
not covered under warranty.
• This ESC is not a toy. Adult supervision is required at all times.
