ESC operating instructions.
The temp of
motor < 90 C
The temp of
batteries < 60 C
1. Install the ESC according to the diagram shown below; Switch on the transmitter, Switch on the ESC
power
2. Lift the car with the 4 wheels un-touching. Adjust & make sure the throttle forward direction
coincides with the ESC forward direction.
3. Right after turn on the power of the ESC, it will denote a series sound indicating the ESC is starting
work. It will then auto-setting the throttle Neutral denoted by LED2 in which fast inter-flashing with
yellow & red light. While succeed in setting neutral, It will then denoted by another confirmation
sound & the LED2 will slowly inter-flash with yellow & red light. If it is failed setting neutral, there will
be no any confirmation sound. Please re-do & re-check the system again starting from step1 of this
instruction. This ESC is applicable to the transmitter with the setting of 1/2 throttle & 1/2
brake/reverse.
4. Slowly push the throttle trigger forwards, the LED2 will be slowly flashing in red light. The flashing
speed shouldbe proportional to the extent of the throttle acceleration. At the full speed, the LED2
will be in solid red light. If the throttle forward direction does not coincide with the ESC forward
direction, the light color will be in yellow not red.Change the throttle reversing switch of the
transmitter will correct the non-coincidence problem.
5. Motor rotating direction - Slowly apply throttle to check if the motor is rotating in the correct
direction you desired.
To reverse the direction of the motor, switch any two of the motor wire
connections. Note : Do not reverse the battery wire connections! Reversing the battery polarity will
permanently damage the ESC.
6. 1stly, trial running starting with a small gear motor for 2~3 minutes, measure the temperatures of
both Esc & motor. If both temperatures are close with each other, they are at good match. The
gear ratio can then be properly adjusted to optimum according to the features of the courses.
However, It’ s very important to always keep both temperatures under 100 ° c, while adjusting the
gear ratio. Otherwise the demagnetization of the motor will
happen, the motor efficiency will drop dramatically & the temperature will also raise up very
quickly. Most
battery power is now wasted on heat nothing on motor efficiency.
7. It’s ok to replace a higher gear ratio or a higher KV motor while the temperature of the ESC is under
80 °c. But it
should be done according to para 6 described, from small to bigger. Unless the kv value of the
original motor is
very low enough, It should replace a motor with lower kv value when the input battery voltage is
changed to a
higher level. The ESC will be burnt if the motor doesn’ t be properly changed while input voltage is
changed. See
example below on the current changed inside motor while input voltage is changed;
Input 7.2V, inner resitance 0.18Ω --- 40A (V/R=I 7.2/0.18=40)
Input11.1V inner resistance 0.18Ω --- 61.6A (V/R=I 11.1/0.18=61.6)
8. Driving forward
Pull throttle trigger forward, the car will be in hard start mode, with very fast initial start, none delay
acceleration, using the
minimum time to reach the full speed from still. Perfectly respond to the signal of the instantly
acceleration. The braking
will be actuated by reversing throttle direction while driving forwards. Interval or spot braking can
always be
controlled perfectly while driving forwards.
9. Driving backwards
By reversing the throttle direction when car is in still. the car will be driving backwards. The braking
will be actuated by reversing throttle direction while driving backwards. By reversing throttle
direction during driving backwards, it will get only a brief braking action & then reverse to drive
forwards instantly. The speed of driving backwards will be responded proportionally to the throttle
input.
10. Warning
Once the battery pack is connected, handle the model with extreme care, make sure you are
clear of all rotating parts.
Connect the batter
y pack just before drive and disconnect it immediately after termination.
Always make sure you are connecting the ESC to a proper power source that has the correct
voltage & polarity.
Incorrect voltages or reversed polarity will damage the ESC.
