ADJUSTING THE ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
4. Return the throttle trigger to neutral. The LED will shine red.
5. Move the throttle trigger forward again to engage reverse (Proile #1). The LED
will turn off. Once full reverse power is reached, the LED will shine red.
6. To stop, return the throttle trigger to neutral. Note that there is no
programmed delay when changing from reverse to forward. Use caution to
avoid slamming the speed control from reverse to forward. On high-traction
surfaces, this could result in transmission or driveline damage.
7. To turn the EVX-2 off, press the EZ-Set button until the red LED turns off.
Thermal Shutdown Protection
The EVX-2 is equipped with thermal shutdown protection to guard against
overheating caused by excessive current low. If the operating temperature exceeds
safe limits, the EVX-2 will automatically shut down and the EVX-2 LED will lash red.
The LED on the face of the EVX-2 will continuously lash red, even if the throttle
trigger is moved back and forth. After the speed control cools down to a safe level,
the LED will continuously shine red. The EVX-2 will once again function normally.
EVX-2 Proile Selection
The speed control is factory set to Proile #1. To change the proile, follow the
steps provided below. The speed control should be connected to the receiver
and battery, and the transmitter should be adjusted as described previously. The
proiles are selected by entering the programming mode.
EVX-2 Proile Description
Proile #1 (Sport Mode): 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, 100% Reverse
Proile #2 (Race Mode): 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, No Reverse
Proile #3 (Training Mode): 50% Forward, 100% Brakes, 50% Reverse
Selecting Sport Mode (Proile #1)
1. Connect two fully charged battery packs to
the EVX-2 and turn on your transmitter.
2. With the EVX-2 off, press and hold the EZ-Set
button until the light turns solid green,
then solid red and then begins blinking red
(indicating the Proile numbers).
3. When the light blinks red once, release the
EZ-Set button.
4. The LED will blink and then turn solid green
(Low-Voltage Detection ACTIVE) or red (Low-
Voltage Detection DISABLED). The model is ready to drive.
Selecting Race Mode (Proile #2)
1. Connect two fully charged battery packs to
the EVX-2 and turn on your transmitter.
2. With the EVX-2 off, press and hold the EZ-Set
button until the light turns solid green,
then solid red and then begins blinking red
(indicating the Proile numbers).
3. When the light blinks red twice, release the
EZ-Set button.
4. The LED will blink and then turn solid green
(Low-Voltage Detection ACTIVE) or red (Low-
Voltage Detection DISABLED). The model is
ready to drive.
Selecting Training Mode* (Proile #3)
1. Connect two fully charged battery packs to the
EVX-2 and turn on your transmitter.
2. With the EVX-2 off, press and hold the EZ-Set
button until the light turns solid green,
then solid red and then begins blinking red
(indicating the Proile numbers).
3. When the light blinks red three times, release
the EZ-Set button.
4. The LED will blink and then turn solid green (Low-Voltage Detection ACTIVE)
or red (Low-Voltage Detection DISABLED). The model is ready to drive.
Note
: If you missed the mode you wanted, keep the EZ-Set button pressed down
and the blink cycle will repeat until a Mode is selected.
LED Codes and Protection Modes
• Solid Green:
EVX-2 power-on light. Low-Voltage Detection is ACTIVATED
(LiPo setting).
• Solid Red:
EVX-2 power-on light. Low-Voltage Detection is DISABLED
(NiCad/NiMH setting).
Never use LiPo batteries while Low-Voltage Detection
is disabled.
• Fast Blinking Red:
The EVX-2 is equipped with thermal shutdown protection
to guard against overheating caused by excessive current low. If the operating
temperature exceeds safe limits, the EVX-2 will automatically shut down. Let
the EVX-2 cool. Make sure your model is properly geared for the conditions (see
page 26).
• Slow Blinking Red (with Low-Voltage Detection on):
The EVX-2 has entered
Low-Voltage Protection. When the battery voltage begins to reach the
minimum recommended discharge voltage threshold for LiPo battery packs,
the EVX-2 will limit the power output to 50% throttle. When the battery voltage
attempts to fall below the minimum threshold, the EVX-2 will shut down all
motor output. The LED on the speed control will slowly blink red, indicating a
low-voltage shutdown. The EVX-2 will stay in this mode until a fully charged
battery is connected.
• Fast Blinking Green:
The EVX-2’s LED will blink fast green if Throttle Neutral
Protection is activated or if the speed control is not receiving a signal. Make
certain the speed control is properly plugged into the receiver and the
transmitter is switched on. If this does not restore normal operation, then the
EVX-2 is indicating the transmitter’s Throttle Trim (see page 14) is incorrectly
set. Reset the throttle trim to the “0” position.

Patent-Pending Training Mode
(Proile #3) reduces forward and
reverse throttle by 50%. Training
Mode is provided to reduce
the power output, allowing
beginning drivers to better
control the model. As driving
skills improve, simply change
to Sport or Race Mode for full-
power operation.
Tip For Fast Mode Changes
The EVX-2 is set to Proile 1 (Sport
Mode) as the default. To quickly
change to Proile 3 (Training
Mode), with the transmitter on,
press and hold the SET button until
the light blinks red three times and
then release. For full power, quickly
change back to Proile 1 (Sport
Mode) by pressing and holding the
SET button until the light blinks red
one time and then releasing.
Throttle Neutral Protection
Your model’s EVX-2 speed control
also features Throttle Neutral
Protection. If the transmitter’s
throttle trim setting is changed
while the speed control is
switched off, Throttle Neutral
Protection prevents the speed
control from activating the motor
until the throttle trim is corrected.
Throttle Neutral Protection
also prevents the model from
suddenly accelerating if the
speed control is switched on
while the transmitter’s trigger
is being held. When the trigger
is returned to neutral, the EVX-2
will operate properly.
