The ESC is equipped with
6 user-selectable Throttle Profiles
to choose from,
as shown below. For basic operation, there’s no need to change from Profile #1.

**Unlimited RPM in Brushless Profiles is based upon the motor’s Kv rating. For example,
the SS5800 motor is a 5800Kv motor and produces 41760 RPM @ 7.2 VDC.
*Unlimited acceleration refers to acceleration only being limited by quality of batteries used.
Due to lower Kv rating, the Novak SS4300 motor will not reach RPM limit in programs 3 & 4.
NOTE:
Super Sport Plus is factory set to Profile #1.

With ESC on & connected to a charged battery
(transmitter ON or OFF)
:
1. IF TRANSMITTER IS OFF, DISCONNECT ESC FROM RECEIVER
To avoid possible radio interference from other transmitters, remove
the ESC’s input signal harness from the receiver.
2. PRESS & HOLD THE ESC’S ONE-TOUCH SET BUTTON
Continue to hold SET button
on ESC
until all 4 LEDs turns on
.
Note: you will continue holding past the Blue, Blue & Amber, Blue & Green,
and then the Amber LED programming indicators in the ESC’s software.
3. RELEASE SET BUTTON AS SOON AS ALL 4 LEDs COMES ON
Once released, the 4 status LEDs will flash to indicate what Throttle
Profile is currently selected
. The number of times the LEDs flash
indicates the Brushless Throttle Profile selection (1 of 5).
4. QUICK PRESS
(& release)
SET BUTTON TO CHANGE SELECTION
Each press will change to the next consecutive Throttle Profile. (After
Profile 5 in Brushless-Mode, the sequence begins again at Profile 1)
Note: there is a time constraint during this selection process.
5. ESC STORES SELECTION & BEGINS TO EXIT PROGRAMMING
If SET button is not pressed for 3 seconds,
ESC stores selected Profile
in
memory, exits to neutral & is ready to go. (LEDs turn off in a rolling motion
left to right, until just Red LED is on--Red & Green if no transmitter signal present)
.
REMEMBER: Whenever One-Touch set-up is performed, ESC automatically reverts to
factory default settings & the Throttle Profile reverts to #1 when in Brushless-Mode.
ATTENTION:
Proper gearing is essential to get the best performance from your Super
Sport Plus brushless motor system when operating in the Brushless-Mode.

When using with SS5800 Motor
With the SS5800 motor on 6 cells, start with
2 teeth lower pinion gear
than you would use with a 27 turn “stock” brush-type motor.
3 teeth
lower pinion
when using 7-cell.
When using with SS4300 Motor
With the SS4300 motor on 6 cells, start with
3 teeth lower pinion gear
than you would use with a 27 turn “stock” brush-type motor.
4 teeth
lower pinion
for 7-cell.
Because of the broad power band of brushless, you can go 1 to 3 teeth
higher pinion than the above recommendations for more top speed, but
remember that going 3 or more teeth higher will produce excessive ESC
heating. Be sure to check the operating temperature of the ESC after making
any gearing adjustments--the Super Sport Plus ESC is designed to operate
comfortably from160ºF-180ºF (warmer than typical brush-type ESC).
If you had a low turn modified brush-type motor in vehicle before switching to the
Super Sport Plus system, and you do not change gearing, you will be under-geared
and the vehicle will be slow at top speed!
You will want the final drive ratio in the vehicle to be:
7.30 : 1
for
Touring Cars
9.00 : 1
for
Off-Road Buggies
12.30 : 1
for
Off-Road Stadium Trucks
Higher final drive ratios will give longer run time at the expense of top speed. Lower ratios will
result in higher ESC temperatures--too low may result in overheating & thermal shut-down.

9. RE-CONNECT BRUSHLESS 6-WIRE SENSOR HARNESS TO ESC
Refer to BRUSHLESS MOTOR portion of STEP 3 on main instructions
(pg.2)
for wiring.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTION: Never connect a brushless motor’s 6-wire sensor harness to ESC when wired to a brush-type motor!
If ESC is powered on while in Brushless-Mode, and is connected to Brush-type motor {phase wires shorted together} & a battery pack, a 6-wire
brushless motor’s sensor harness is connected to ESC, and ESC receives a transmitter’s throttle signal, severe ESC damage will occur.
