❑

2) The SIG Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) has been

factory soldered to the motor for your convenience. NOTE: The
gearbox reverses the direction of rotation of the propeller shaft.
Therefore the white wire (normally negative) has been soldered to
the positive tab on the motor and the red wire has been soldered
to the negative motor tab. This provides the correct direction of
rotation for the propeller.

❑

3) Included with the motor and ESC is a female Mini-Tamiya

connector. This must now be soldered in place to your 7-cell
battery pack. Carefully note the polarity of the red (positive) and
black (negative) wires going into the male side of this connector on
the ESC. The red (positive) and black (negative) wires going into
the female connector on the battery side must match. NEVER
make a reversed polarity connection from your battery pack to the
ESC. Doing this will likely cause terminal damage to the ESC unit.
Carefully crimp and solder one of the battery wires to one of the
metal plugs and carefully insert the plug into the correct side of the
female plug - double check the polarity from the male plug on the
ESC before doing this - until it locks in place. Crimp and solder the
second battery wire to the remaining metal plug and insert it into
the remaining hole in the nylon connector body. The battery pack
can now be charged.

❑

4) With the battery pack charged, the motor and ESC can be

tested using your radio system. This test is to make sure the
system works and is properly wired to produce the correct rotation
of the propeller. NOTE: This ESC device will not work with
transmitters operating on PCM mode.
NEVER PERFORM SUCH A TEST WITH THE PROPELLER
ATTACHED TO THE MOTOR!

First, switch on your transmitter, making sure the throttle stick is all
the way down in the low throttle position. Next, make sure the
pre-wired switch on the ESC unit is in the "Off" position. Plug the
ESC connector into the throttle receptacle in the receiver. Plug the
battery pack into the connector from the ESC. Hold the motor in
your hand and turn the ESC switch on. Nothing should happen
because the ESC has a circuit that senses the transmitters low
throttle position and assumes this to be the "motor off" position.
Still holding the motor firmly in your hand, slowly advance the
throttle stick on your transmitter. The motor should begin to turn in
relationship to the stick movement. This means that the system is
working. If the motor does not begin moving with transmitter stick
movement this usually means that the transmitter servo-reversing
switch is in the wrong position.

Reverse this switch on the

transmitter and again test the system.

It should now work

perfectly.
