LOSB9521  MSC 12SL 12T High Power Fwd/Rev ESC

Features

• High power FET control with proportional forward and reverse. 
• High frequency design delivers smooth speed transition. 
• Thermal Overload Protection prevents damage due to over-

  current conditions. 
• Pre-wired with Tamiya battery plug and bullet-style motor connectors. 
• Designed to operate with stock motors (12 turns or higher). 
• Push-button programming makes setup a breeze.

Connecting the Battery

The MSC 12SL comes pre-wired with a Tamiya-style connector,

compatible with most battery packs. Use battery packs from 4-cell

(4.8-volt) to 6-cell (7.2-volt) sub-C size battery packs.

  

1. Be sure the on/off switch is in the “off” position.
2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the speed control’s battery 

connector.

Selecting Forward Only or 

Forward/Reverse Mode

The MSC 12SL has 2 modes: Forward Only mode and Foward 

and Reverse mode. The Forward Only mode can be selected for 

racing purposes. When the ESC is powered on, the LED will flash 

for 2 seconds: the color of the LED indicates which mode the 

ESC is operating in:

Forward and Reverse Mode–the Green LED will flash
For

ward Only Mode–the Red LED will flash.

To change modes, push the set button and turn on the ESC. The 

LED will flash, indicating the new mode has been selected. Note 

the color of the LED to determine the mode of your ESC.

Adjusting theTransmitter

1. Set the “throttle reversing” switch to the NORMAL position. 
2. Set the “throttle trim” to the CENTER position.

Speed Control Programming

NOTE

: While in the programming mode, no power is 

applied to the motor.

1. Turn on the transmitter’s power switch. (Be sure the transmitter 

batteries are fully charged).

2. Turn the ESC switch on.
3. Press and release the setup button. The red and green LEDs 

will light.

4. Move the throttle to the full throttle position and press the 

programming button. The green LED will remain lit and the red

LED will go out. (If the ESC does not sense throttle movement 

in 3 seconds by the transmitter, it will exit the programming 

mode and you will have to begin again.)

5. Now move the throttle to full reverse and press the 

programming button. The red LED will glow and the green 

LED will go out.

6. Return the throttle to neutral and press the programming 

button. The green LED will glow and the red LED will go out, 

indicating programming is complete.

During normal operation, the green LED indicates neutral and the 

red LED indicates full forward and full reverse. 

Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom

Solution
