IMPORTANT
Begin using your ESC by calibrating with your tramistter. We strongly recommend all users to use the “Fail Safe” function on the radio system and set (F/S)
to “Output OFF” or “Neutral Position” . Example of calibrating Neutral range and Endpoint.
1. Turn on the transmitter, ensure all parameters (D/R, Curve, ATL) on the throttle channel are at default (100%). For transmitter without LCD,
please turn the knob to the maximum, and the throttle “TRIM” to 0. Please also turn the corresponding knob to the neutral position. For
FutabaTM transmitter, the direction of throttle channel shall be set to “REV”, while other radio systems shall be set to “NOR”. Please ensure
the “ABS/braking function” of your transmitter must be DISABLED.
2. Start with transmitter on and the ESC turned off but connected to a battery. Holding the SET button and press the ON/OFF button to turn
on the ESC, the RED LED on the ESC starts to flash (Note: the motor beeps at the same time), and then release the SET button
immediately(The ESC will enter the programming mode if the SET button is not released in 3 seconds, please restart from step 1.).
Note: Beeps from the motor may be low sometimes, and you can check the LED status instead.

3. Set the neutral point, the full throttle endpoint and the full brake endpoint.
Leave transmitter at the neutral position, press the SET button, the RED LED flashes 1 time and the motor beeps 1 time to accept the neutral position.
• Pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle position, press the SET button, the RED LED blinks 2 times and the motor beeps 2 times to accept the full throttle endpoint.
• Push the throttle trigger to the full brake position, press the SET button, the RED LED blinks 3 times and the motor beeps 3 times to accept the full brake endpoint.
4. The motor can be started 3 seconds after the ESC/Radio calibration is complete.
Move the throttle stick to the neutral position and
press the set button.

• Power ON/OFF: (Start with the ESC turned off), press the ON/OFF button to turn on the ESC. (Start with the ESC turned
on), press and hold the ON/OFF button to turn off the ESC.
• Warning Tones: When the ESC is turned on in the normal way (that is turn it on without pressing and holding the SET
button): if you set the “Battery Type” to “LiPo”, the motor will beep N (number) beeps to indicate the number of LiPo cells
you have plugged in (i.e. 2 beeps indicates a 2S LiPo, 3 beeps indicates a 3S LiPo.) and then a long beep to inform you
that your ESC is ready to work. If you set the “Battery Type” to “NiMH”, the motor will only beep a beep to indicate the ESC
is in NiMH mode and then another beep to inform you that your ESC is ready to function.
Highlighted options are the factory default settings.

Running Mode
:
Option 1: Forward with Brake. Racing Mode. Forward and Braking are the only functions.
Option 2: Forward / Reverse with Brake. This option is known to be the “training” mode with “Forward / Reverse with
Brake” functions. It is also known as the “DOUBLE-CLICK” method, your vehicle only brakes on the 1st time you push
the throttle trigger forward (brake). The motor stops when you quickly release the throttle trigger and then re-push the
trigger quickly (2nd push), only then the vehicle will reverse. The reverse function will not work if your car does not come
to a complete stop. The vehicle only reverses after the motor stops. This method is for preventing the vehicle from being
accidentally reversed.
Option 3: Forward and Reverse. Rock Crawler Mode. It uses the “SINGLE-CLICK” method. The vehicle will go into
reverse immediately when you push the throttle trigger forward (brake).
Option 4: Boat mode. This mode is “Forward / Reverse with no Brake”. Mainly used for boats . Low voltage, temperature
protection will only be half power output, it will not stop under this mode.
