5. Move the throttle trigger forward again to engage 

reverse (Profile #1). The LED will turn off. Once full 
reverse power is reached, the LED will shine RED.

6. To stop, return the throttle trigger to neutral. Note that 

there is no programmed delay when changing from 
reverse to forward. Use caution to avoid slamming the 
speed control from reverse to forward. On high-traction 
surfaces, this could result in transmission or driveline 
damage.

7. To turn the ESC off, press and hold the EZ-Set button 

until the red LED turns off.

8. The ESC is equipped with thermal shutdown protection 

to guard against overheating caused by excessive 
current flow. If the operating temperature exceeds safe 
limits, the ESC will automatically shut down. The LED 
on the face of the ESC will rapidly blink red, even if 
the throttle trigger is moved back and forth. Once the 
temperature returns to a safe level, the ESC will once 
again function normally.

ESC Setup Programming

(Calibrating your ESC and transmitter)

Read through all of the programming steps before you 
begin. If you get lost during programming or receive 
unexpected results, simply unplug the battery, wait a few 
seconds, plug the battery back in, and start over. 
1. Elevate the model on a block or a stand so that all the 

tires are off the ground. This is a precaution to prevent 
runaway when the speed control in turned on before it 
is programmed.

2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.
3. Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle at neutral).
4. Press and hold the EZ-

Set button (A). The LED 
will first turn green and 
then red. Release the 
button.

5. When the LED blinks  

RED ONCE, pull the  
throttle trigger to the full 
throttle position and hold 
it there (B).

6. When the LED blinks RED 

TWICE, push the throttle 
trigger to the full reverse 
and hold it there (C).

7. When the LED blinks GREEN ONCE, 

programming is complete. The LED will 
then shine red, indicating the ESC is on 
and at neutral (D).

ESC Battery Settings (Low-Voltage Detection Setting)

The ESC is equipped with a built-in Low-Voltage Detection 
feature that constantly monitors the battery voltage when 
activated. 

This feature is not compatible with the NiMH 

battery supplied with your model. 

Low-Voltage Detection 

has been DISABLED for best performance with your battery; 
however, you should verify that the setting has not been 
changed before each use.

Verify that Low-Voltage Detection is DISABLED:

1. Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle at neutral).
2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the model.
3. Press and release the EZ-Set button 

to turn the ESC on. If the LED is solid 
red, then the Low-Voltage Detection 
is DISABLED. If the LED is solid 
green, then Low-Voltage Detection 
is ACTIVATED (not safe for use with 
NiMH batteries).

To disable Low-Voltage Detection (NiMH setting):

1. Make sure the LED on the ESC is on and GREEN.
2. Press and hold the EZ-Set button (the LED will turn off). 

After ten seconds, the motor will beep three times and 
the LED will shine RED. Release the button.

3. Low-Voltage Detection is now DISABLED.

LED Codes and Protection Modes

• Solid Red:

 ESC power-on light. 

• Fast Blinking Red:

 The ESC is equipped with thermal 

shutdown protection to guard against overheating caused by 
excessive current flow. If the operating temperature exceeds 
safe limits, the ESC will automatically shut down. Let the 
ESC cool.

• Slow Blinking Red 

(with Low-Voltage Detection on): 

The ESC has entered Low-Voltage Protection. When the 
battery voltage begins to reach the minimum recommended 
discharge voltage threshold, the ESC will limit the power 
output to 50% throttle. When the battery voltage attempts to 
fall below the minimum threshold, the ESC will shut down all 
motor output. The LED on the speed control will slowly blink 
red, indicating a low-voltage shutdown. The ESC will stay in 
this mode until a fully charged battery is connected.

• Fast Blinking Green:

 The ESC’s LED will blink fast green if 

the speed control is not receiving a signal. Make certain the 
speed control is properly plugged into the receiver and the 
transmitter is switched on.

• Flashing Red and Green:

 The ESC has entered Over 

Voltage Protection. If a battery with too high voltage is used, 
the ESC will go into a failsafe mode.
