HRS-3.1 STANDARD OPERATION
RADIENT REAKTOR BRUSHLESS SYSTEM OVERVIEW...
8
› From a stop at neutral: the vehicle will travel in reverse.
› From pulled back: the vehicle will apply brakes to slow the speed.
» A second push forward of the trigger will apply brakes again.
» A second push forward on the trigger will apply reverse throttle.
»
WARNING: Causing the vehicle to make quick transitions
from forward/reverse motion to the opposite direction using
the throttle control can cause damage to your vehicle and
electronics and will void the warranty.
Using your transmitter for the first time:
1. Turn the transmitter ON and ensure the LED is lit SOLID and it is
not
giving an audible alarm indicating the batteries are supplying adequate
voltage for proper operation.
2. Ensure the battery in your vehicle is secured, charged and plugged in
with proper polarity and turn your vehicle ON.
3. Checking and setting the throttle trim.
a. If the wheels spin in a forward direction when the trigger is in the
neutral position, turn down the trim until the motor stops by pressing the TH- button, repeatedly if necessary.
b. If the wheels spin in a reverse direction when the trigger is in the neutral position, turn up the trim until the motor stops by
pressing the TH+ button, repeatedly if necessary.
c. There will be a “dead band” area where the trim can be adjusted a slight amount in either direction and the wheels will not
begin to move. It is ideal to have the trim set in the middle of this “dead band”.
4. Setting the steering trim.
a. With your vehicle and transmitter turned on (and properly responding to transmitter inputs), set the vehicle down on the
ground and slowly accelerate in a direction directly away from you. If the vehicle veers slightly either to the left or right,
adjust the steering trim by pressing either the ST- (more left) or ST+ (more right) buttons, repeatedly if necessary.
b. Reset the vehicle position and re-test; adjust the trim as needed until the vehicle travels in a straight line while the transmit-
ter wheel remains at center location (“hands-off”).
The Radient Reaktor series brushless motor and ESC form a great power plant to satisfy your need for speed and performance.
Though the Reaktor system was engineered for value, performance was definitely a factor. We’ve included some great features for
you to help keep your system running in top shape while keeping your battery upgrade path open since it is compatible with LiPo
batteries.
WARNING: ALWAYS ALLOW YOUR MOTOR TO COOL BETWEEN RUNS. EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION AND AGGRESSIVE DRIV-
ING WILL CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO GET HOT. EXERCISE GREAT CARE WHEN HANDLING YOUR VEHICLE AFTER RUNNING TO
AVOID GETTING BURNED.
Some great features of your new ESC include:
• Water-proof and dust-proof. The ESC can work under water for a short time.
› (After running, please clean and dry the ESC to avoid oxidation of the copper connectors)
• Specially designed for RC car and truck, with excellent start-up, acceleration and linearity features.
• Programmable Forward and Reverse throttle with brake.
• Programmable Low voltage cut-off protection for LiPo or NiMH battery.
• 3s LiPo Cooling Fan kit installed
Below is a description of the shown parts of the Reaktor system that you need to be familiar with for effective operation.
• Brushless, Sensorless Electronic Speed Controller (ESC)
• Indicator LED
› Will blink 2 or 3 times indicating the number of cells detected for LiPo use, blinking 2 times for 2s and 3 times for 3s.
› Will blink with error codes.
» LVC is active = 1 slow blink.
» Over Temperature Protection is active = 2 slow blinks.
» Over Current Protection is active = 3 slow blinks.
» The above can blink in succession if multiple errors have occurred. For instance if the LVC and over current are active,
the ESC will blink 1 time, then short pause, then 3 times then long pause and repeat the cycle.
› Will blink to indicate setup mode while programming ESC.
