BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit)
The BEC eliminates the need for a receiver pack to power the radio system. On most electric vehicles this is located
in the electronic speed control (ESC), but can also be a stand-alone device.
BiND Process
Programming a receiver to recognize the GUID code of only one specific transmitter or transmitter module.
Calibration
Also called ESC setup. It is the process used to match the transmitter throttle, brake and neutral to the ESC.
Current
Refers to the power flow from the battery to the ESC and Motor when used in the RC vehicle environment. Typically
this is measured in Ampere or Amp.
Deadband
This refers to the amount of travel (movement) on the transmitter trigger before the vehicle is requesting the ESC to
move the vehicle forward or backwards. It is an advanced adjustment used by experienced drivers.
Dsm (Digital spectrum modulation)
The 2.4GHz technology of Spektrum radios.
EsC (Electronic speed Control)
The ESC is what translates the signals passed from the transmitter trigger through the receiver into commands that
reach the motor to signal forward or reverse, acceleration or braking. The Xcelorin system is an advanced electronic
speed controller that is very efficient in passing precise requests to the brushless motor. The BEC is also controlled
by the ESC along with the Low Voltage Protection circuit.
GuiD
Globally Unique Identification Code. Each individual module or radio is factory programmed with its own unique serial
code. In the binding process, the receiver is programmed to only recognize the GUID code of one specific radio or
module.
LiPo
A Lithium Polymer battery’s abbreviation indicating the chemistry used in these rechargeable batteries. These
batteries require special attention by the user and are only recommended for the most experienced of users.
mah
The Milliampere Hour abbreviation, which represents the capacity of a battery pack. The higher this rating the longer
the run time of each charge.
Neutral Position
Referring to the Transmitter when at rest, meaning the throttle trigger and steering have no input. When you turn the
transmitter on, set it to the side while turning the car on, the transmitter will be in a Neutral state.
NimH
The abbreviation for nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. These have replaced the use of NiCd batteries as
the battery of choice in RC vehicles.
Profiles
The MSC 12RB has two (2) preset profiles. Forward Only and Forward and Reverse profile. The Forward only profile
can be selected for racing purposes. The Forward/Reverse profile is great for running in your neighborhood.
Receiver
A device mounted into the vehicle that receives and decodes a signal sent by a transmitter. Servos, ESC and other
devices are plugged into the receiver.
Resistance
As used here refers to the power loss from the battery to the ESC and Motor. Typically this is measured in Ampere or
Amp. Too much resistance between the battery, ESC and motor can result in low performance and run time.
servo
An electronic device connected to the receiver used to actuate steering control of the vehicle.
spektrum
The technology brand of 2.4GHz radio system supplied with the XXX-SCB. The use of this technology eliminates the
concern of conflicting frequencies found with older legacy radio systems. It further reduces to a minimum potential
radio interference common with the legacy radio systems of the past.
Transmitter
Is the device held in your hand that relays steering and throttle/brake requests made to the receiver.
Trim
This is a setting used on the transmitter to make fine adjustments to the steering or throttle/brake trigger. For
steering you would use the trim to make the adjustment for the vehicle to drive straight without adding steering input
to the transmitter.
Thermal shutdown
Refers to the ESC operating temperature. The MSC 12RB ESC monitors its internal temperature and will
automatically prevent the ESC from delivering power to the motor, preventing damage due to overheating the ESC’s
electronics.
