Installation

1. Determine how to mount the ESC/Receiver as specified by your 

vehicle’s instruction manual, or in an area with adequate airflow 
and protection from damage. 

Ensure all wiring connections can 

be reached prior to mounting. For the best reception performance 

choose a mounting arrangement that will put the antenna as high 

as possible in the vehicle, away from metal or carbon fiber.

2. Use double-sided foam tape on the bottom of the case to 

secure the ESC/Receiver in position. 

3.  Connect the red power connectors together and the black 

power connectors together between the ESC and the motor. 

4.  If you need to reverse the motor direction you can reverse 

the power connections between the motor and ESC.

5. Secure all wiring and ensure the 2-in-1 has good airflow.

6. There is an integrated slide mount on each side of the case 

for the switch. Choose a mounting position; the switch  

can be installed on one of the slide mounts, or mounted 

elsewhere with double-sided foam tape.

Binding

1.  Begin with no battery connected.

2.  Press and hold the bind button on the receiver.

3.  Throttle should be at neutral to set failsafe. Power ON the receiver. 

The red LED flashes, indicating the receiver is in bind mode. Release 

the bind button after the red LED begins to flash. The motor will 

make continuous descending tones until binding is complete.

4.  Put your transmitter in bind mode. 

5.  The bind process is complete when the green LED on the 

receiver remains lit.  

NOTICE:

 Do not cut, kink, or modify the antenna. Damage to 

the antenna or shortening it will reduce the range.
