OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTIONS
•
To avoid radio interference please mount the speedcontrol with a gap of
minimum 2cm (3/4") to the receiver and the antenna wire.
•
Mount the speed control firmly with double sided tape so that it does not
loosen when it gets hot.
•
Always use the provided capacitors on the motor to avoid radio interference.
INSTALLATION
•
Do not leave your model unsupervised while a battery is connected
or it is switched on. The model could come out of control and can
cause damage or fire.
•
Do not use batteries with more than 7 cells (8,4V).
•
Do not connect a battery with reversed polarity as this will damage
the speed control. Always use reverse polarity protected connectors
and protect all wires from short circuits.
•
When the speed control is connected to the motor, do not power the
motor with an additional battery. This will damage the speed control!
•
Always switch your radio on first and then the speed control.
Otherwise the model could come out of control and could cause
damage.
•
Avoid blocked wheels and motors as this would cause very high
currents and heat dispasion.
•
After a run the heatsink of your speedcontrol could be very hot. Do
not touch the heatsink!
•
Not suitable for children under the age of 14. This is not a toy.

If the motor runs in wrong direction you have to reverse the motor cables.
RADIO SETUP
Your SPEEDSTAR2 speed control has 3 factory set power programs. These power programs
set a delay on full throttle and avoid spinning wheels on slippery track conditions. If you have
high grip conditions and want full power choose the shortest delay.
POWER PROGRAM SETTING:
1)
Leave the throttle trigger of your radio in neutral position. Then press and hold the setup
button as long as the
red LED
flashes.
2)
Release the setup button and choose one of the 3 following settings:
a)
After one second the red LED flashes one time. If you want the power program with
0.09 seconds
delay press the setup button now. This is the factory default
setting of the speedcontrol.
b)
After two seconds the red LED will flash 2 times. If you press the setup button now,
you choose the power program with a delay of
0.16 seconds
.
c)
After three seconds the red LED will flash 3 times. Press the setup button now, if you
want to have the power program with a delay of
0.27 seconds
.
If you don't pressed the button, the speedcontrol begins again with the first point (a).
POWER PROGRAMS
Your SPEEDSTAR2 speed control has an adjustable undervoltage
protection for using it with NiCd/NiMH or with LiPo batteries.
To change the battery setting please follow these steps:
1)
Leave the throttle trigger of your radio in the neutral position. Then
press and hold the setup button until the
red and green
LED
flashes.
2)
Release the setup button and choose one of the 2 following
setings:
a)
After one second both LEDs will flash one time. Press the setup
button now to use the setting for
LiPo
batteries.
b)
After two seconds both LEDs flash two times. Press the setup
button now to use the setting for
NiCd/NiMH
batteries. This is
the factory default setting of the speed control.
LIPO-MODE
Your SPEEDSTAR2 speed control has a built in overtemperature pro-
tection system. This system prevents the speed control from overload
and avoids damage to it. If the temperature inside the speedcontrol
reaches 100°C (212°F) the protection system switches the motor off
and shows its function with both LEDs flashing. When the temperature
reaches normal values the speed control will switch back on.

Thank you very much for your trust in our pro-
ducts. Please read these operating instructions
carefully, so you can avoid problems in advance.
Please also notice the technical data and limits
of this speed control printed on the backside of
the package.
The electronics of your SPEEDSTAR2 speed control have a special
coating which makes it resistant against water and dust.
While it is water and dust resistant, please avoid excessive water and
dust contact as this will lead to failure. If it does come in contact with
water please let it dry thoroughly before using it again.
