...METRIC ESC OVERVIEW AND CALIBRATION
ADJUSTING AND TUNING YOUR CRITERION 10B

5. This calibration will be performed every time the ESC is powered on. If you are touching the trigger during this process the ESC
will not calibrate or function, simply release the trigger and wait for the audible chime.
6. Check the ESC operation to ensure you have full throttle and brake before driving the vehicle.
Low Voltage Cut-Off (LVC) Threshold:
The Metric ESC has 2 built in LVC options, 7-Cell NiMH and 2s LiPo. It is essential that you use the proper LVC setting for the type
of battery that you are using to achieve the optimal performance and safest operation from your ESC/Motor/Battery. To set the LVC
mode, simply move the selector switch located on the side of the ESC to the proper position, indicated by the decal.

When running a LiPo battery it is required to change the included battery connector to a high current connector. We
recommend W.S. Deans Ultra-Plugs (WSD1300) available at your local hobby dealer. Using the supplied connector
with LiPo batteries will cause the connector to over-heat and possibly melt which could lead to the battery expe-
riencing a dead-short and causing fire. It is critical that the connector be changed and that you do not try to use
an adapter in this application. You can purchase an adapter from Ultra-Plug (F) to Tamiya style (F) from your local
hobby dealer which will allow you to continue to use your included Helion battery after you have changed your main
power connector.
1. No Protection : ONLY to be used with NiMH or NiCd type batteries. Since your vehicle comes equipped with an 7 cell NiMH bat-
tery, we have set this mode as the default. The ESC will run as long as possible, draining all possible energy from the batteries
and eventually your vehicle will cease to function properly, losing throttle first, then steering.
a. When you notice the operation of your vehicle change, it is time to STOP running and re-charge your battery.
b. If you are running your vehicle and notice a sudden decrease in power, your ESC has detected battery voltage that is lower
than what should be safely run without causing damage to your battery or electronic equipment. If you are using NiMH bat-
teries while this happens and you have only been running for a very short time, it is very likely that you are mistakenly using
the 2s LiPo LVC setting my mistake.
2. 2s LiPo at 3.2V/Cell: This setting is recommended for use with today’s most common LiPo batteries. You should not use LiPo
batteries that already include a LVC detection circuit with this ESC. Batteries that include this technology are not very common
as they were not successful products since they were prone to damage.
The Criterion 10B has been engineered with some available tuning options listed here for reference. The default configuration has
been chosen to provide what we feel is the most enjoyable experience for most operating conditions. However we do encourage
experimentation and testing as that’s where the real fun begins!
Ride height adjustment:
It is possible to adjust the ride height of your Criterion 10B by installing and or removing adjustment
clips located directly above the shock springs.
• Adding more clips will raise the ride height of the vehicle and if done excessively may decrease stability.
• Removing clips will lower the ride height and may cause the chassis to drag on the ground.
• It is ideal to have the drive shafts above level but still allow the shocks to extend when you lift the vehicle while the vehicle is
sitting on a flat surface with the body installed. Add or remove clips to achieve the desired ride height.
Upper Shock Position:
There are three shock installation locations for the top mounting location of the shock towers. The
default position is the middle position for the front and the third hole out in the rear (located farther from the center line of the chas-
sis). Moving the shock mounting location to the inner location will result in a slightly less responsive feel on the front or rear of the
vehicle but it will be a little more stable.
Lower Shock Position:
There are two shock installation locations for the lower mounting location of the shocks in the sus-
pension arm. The default location is outside in the front and inside on the rear suspension arm. Moving the shocks to the outside
location will result in a slightly less responsive feel on the front or rear of the vehicle but become a little more stable. This change
will also decrease the vehicle’s articulation and you will notice less body roll. Always check and adjust, if necessary, the ride height
of your vehicle after moving the shock mounting locations.
Battery mounting:
Your vehicle comes equipped with and default mount setting for a 7-Cell NiMH hump battery. It is also pos-
sible to fit lower cell count NiMH batteries and also 2s LiPo batteries (we highly recommend hard cased batteries that resist wear).
Ensure the foam block is in place to keep the battery pack from changing position in the battery tray.
