the speed-controls memory even if the speed-control will be disconnected from the battery.

TRANSMITTER SETTINGS
Setup the following basic functions on your transmitter (if available):
If your transmitter doesn‘t offer any of above functions, it‘s already in „basic setup“ mode.
• Ensure, that the speed-control is not connected to the drive battery and is switched off.
• Remove motor pinion or ensure that the wheels of the model are free to rotate.
• Switch the transmitter on and set the transmitter throttle stick to neutral.
• Connect the speed-control to the battery and switch the unit on.
• Press the SET button for at least 3sec, using the supplied plastic screwdriver.
• The SET LED fl ashes red and indicates that you entered setup mode (it continues fl ashing red until the
setup is completed).
• Leave the throttle stick at neutral and press the SET button once.
-> neutral setting is now stored. The MODE LED fl ashes green and the motor beeps.
• Hold the transmitter stick at full throttle and press the SET button once.
-> the full-throttle setting is now stored and the MODE LED fl ashes red.
• Hold the transmitter stick at full brake and press the SET button once.
-> the brake setting is now stored. The MODE- and SET-LED glow red.
• This completes the setup procedure and your SPHERE is ready to use.
• If you make a mistake during the setup procedure, don‘t worry: disconnect the battery for about 10sec and
start again from the fi rst step.
• At the end of each run disconnect the drive battery and switch off the transmitter afterwards.
• At the start of each run switch on the transmitter fi rst, then connect the drive battery.

EXPLANATION: If there´s no remark, the cause can be either with brushless and/or brushed motors. If „BM“
is indicated, the cause only occurs when brushed motors are used.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
AVAILABLE MODES and PROGRAMMING THE MODES:
The SPHERE features 4 different modes, which enable you to adjust motor type and application, motor power/
driving feel, initial-brake and automatic brake to match YOUR special requirements precisely.
MODE.1 (speed-control type selection): The SPHERE contains 4 speed-controls in 1 and „Mode.1“ allows you Mode.1“ allows you
to select between the different „types“ of speed-controls, which are built into the SPHERE.
MODE 2 (drive-/punch-control): Allows you to adjust the SPHERE to your likes. Either you run on slippery or PHERE to your likes. Either you run on slippery or
high-traction surfaces, the SPHERE has a profi le for you! Contains „Sportsman“ profi le with limited maximum profi le with limited maximum
RPM of 24‘000 RPM, „Low Grip“ profi le with great driveability and „Modifi ed“ for unlimited power.
MODE.3 (initial brake): Allows you to set a certain level of “hand-brake effect“, i.e. you can vary the minmum
brake effect when you apply the brake.
MODE.4 (automatic brake): Allows you to set a slight braking action, which is applied in the neutral range.
This enables you to simulate the feel of a brushed motor and also hold the throttle on longer when entering a
turn. Your car also has more front traction with this setting. Tip: With Value 1, a brushless motor will have the
same „natural“ slowdown as a brushed motor without automatic brake.

• How to get into „PROGARAMMING THE MODES“: -> Press MODE button for at least 3sec.
• How to check the stored values: Count the number of fl ashes of the red SET LED
(one fl ash equals value 1, two fl ashes value 2, etc.).
• How to change the value: Press SET button to increase value by one step.
• How to get to the next Mode: Press MODE button once.
• Table of settings, values and modes: See below (grey-shaded/bold areas show „works default settings“).
INITIAL-/AUTOMATIC-BRAKE DEPENDENCY:
Only this unique feature will give you perfect brake-control. By not allowing lower initial-brake values then auto-
matic-brake values, it ensures that the brake doesn‘t become less when you manually brake on the transmitter.
This means, for example, if you have set automatic-brake on value 2 that you can not adjust value 0 or 1 on
initial-brake (the set automatic-brake value becomes the minimum initial-brake value!).
WORKS DEFAULT SETTINGS:
LRP speed-controls are supplied factory-adjusted. The defaults are the grey-shaded/bold areas in the Value
columns above. If you loose track of the modes during the set-up procedure, you can reset the speed-control
to the LRP works default settings. With the transmitter switched on, hold the SET button pressed while you
switch on the speed-control. This action returns the unit to the LRP works default settings.
CHANGING MODE SETTINGS WITHOUT THE TRANSMITTER:
At race events you usually do not have access to your transmitter. In this situation it is possible to adjust the
MODE settings without the transmitter signal. All you have to do is disconnect the receiver lead from the recei-
ver and connect the drive battery. You can now change the MODE settings as described in this chapter.
SENSORED BRUSHLESS TECHNOLOGY:
The SPHERE speed-control uses the sensored brushless technology to communicate with the brushless motor.
This allows the SPHERE to obtain perfect knowledge of the brushless motor’s magnet position. This means
perfect motor control at high and low RPM‘s, as well as perfect brake control. The sensored brushless motor
feels just as smooth to drive as the brushed motor!
MULTI-PROTECTION SYSTEM, 4-way Protection
This unique monitoring software is the perfect protection for the SPHERE speed-control against short-circuits
(motor), overload and overheating. If your speed-control is ever faced with overload, the motor function is
switched off for protection and the SET LED will fl ash to indicate the overload, although the steering function is
maintained. Wait a few minutes to allow the speed-control to cool down.
Should you accidentally select one of the brushless motor modes while a brushed motor is connected to the
speed-control, or vice versa, the SPHERE will warn you of this error by turning on the red SET LED and alterna-
tively fl ashing red/green on the MODE LED. If the speed-control switches off frequently, either the motor used
is too strong, the motor pinion is too big or you are using full brake too often. You can improve this by using the
supplied heatsink or by obtaining the optional LRP fan (#82500).
POWER CAPACITORS:
We recommend the use of a power capacitor (as included in LRP‘s brushless cooling set #82500), when using
the SPHERE speed-control. Power Capacitors improve punch and offer additional protection for the speed-cont-
rol. Simply connect the power capacitors at BAT+ (Red) and BAT- (Black) on the SPHERE‘s soldering tabs.
