CHANGING THE PINION/GEAR RATIO
Your vehicle comes with the 14T pinion gear installed for the
included 6C Ni-MH battery. If you want to use a 2S–3S Li-Po
battery, refer to the Gearing Chart for the proper gearing.
1.
Remove the 6 screws securing the gear cover and remove
the gear cover.
2.
Loosen the motor screws and slide the motor back.
3.
Loosen the setscrew and remove the installed pinion gear.
4.
Place the new pinion on the end of the motor shaft so the
setscrew is located over the flat on the shaft.
5.
Position it so the teeth line up with the spur gear and secure
by tightening the setscrew.
6.
Tighten the motor screws and reinstall the gear cover.

SETTING THE GEAR MESH
The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting it
is only necessary when changing motors or gears. Proper gear
mesh (how gear teeth meet) is important to the performance
of the vehicle. When the gear mesh is too loose, the spur gear
could be damaged by the pinion gear of the motor. If the mesh
is too tight, speed could be limited and the motor and ESC
will overheat.
1.
Remove the 6 screws securing the gear cover and
remove the gear cover.
2.
Loosen the motor screws and slide the motor back.
3.
Put a small piece of paper between the pinion and
spur gears.
4.
Push the gears together while tightening the motor screws.
5.
Remove the paper. Check the mesh at 3–5 different
locations around the spur gear for a small amount
of movement.
6.
Reinstall the gear cover.

ESC BATTERY CHEMISTRY PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
1.
Power ON the transmitter and set the transmitter’s throttle endpoint travel to maximum
and the throttle trim to the center position.
2.
Leave the throttle trigger at center,then power ON the ESC.
3.
Press and hold the Battery Chemistry Button on the power switch for 3 seconds. The LED
flashes the current battery chemistry (red = Ni-MH, green = Li-Po).
4.
Continue holding the Battery Chemistry Button for another 6 seconds. The ESC changes
battery chemistry and the LED flashes the new battery chemistry.
5.
Power OFF the ESC. The ESC saves the setting until it is changed.
ESC ENDPOINT CALIBRATION
a.
Power OFF the ESC.
b.
Ensure your transmitter is powered ON, the throttle is not reversed, the throttle
trim is neutral and the throttle travel range is at 100%. Disable any special
functions such as ABS, etc.
c.
Press the SET button while powering on the ESC. Release the button as soon as
the red LED starts to flash.
d.
Calibrate the throttle points by pressing the SET button once after each step.
• Neutral point (1 flash) — leave the throttle at rest, untouched
• Full throttle (2 flahes) — push the throttle fully forward
• Full brakes/reverse (3 flashes) — push the throttle fully forward
e.
The ESC will beep 3 times to indicate programing is complete.
