Install your ESC
Add battery connector
You must attach a quality battery connector of your choice to
the red (positive) and black (negative) of power wires. Well
solder the connectors to the wires and ENSURE THAT POLARITY IS CORRECT (red wire to battery red wire, black
wire to battery black wire). Follow the instructions provided
with battery connector.
Connect ESC to motor
Suggested to solder quality and corresponding size golden bullet connectors for your motor to the motor wires coming from
ESC.
*Swapping any two motor wires connection can change rotation direction.
Connect to receiver
Connect the receiver lead (consisted of brown, red and orange
small wires with a black plastic connector on the end ) to throttle channel of receiver in right polarity, brown wire to negative,
red wire to positive, orange wire to signal.
Kingkong III Pro HV ESC are OPTO, so separate receiver
battery or UBEC to supply power for receiver is required.

Safety
The brushless ESC is used for R/C electric powered model
airplane and helicopters, which are not toys. ONLY adults
can run it correctly according to this instructions, young
children must run it with guardianship of adults.
Please keep the propeller away from your body and others
all the time when the battery is connected.
It is suggested that you remove the propeller when you are
working on the airplane with the battery connected.
It is suggested that you remover the pinion when you are
working on a helicopter with the battery connected.
Please observe all local laws regarding the flying of remote
control airplane.
Never fly over others or near crowds.
Before beginning flying, turn on the transmitter BEFORE
powering on the receiver.
When finish the running, power off the receiver BEFORE
turning off the transmitter.
Never disconnect the battery pack while the brushless motor
is running, as this could cause damage to the speed
controller and/or motor. And such damage would not
covered under manufacturer‟s WARRANTY.

KingKongIII Pro
Kingkong III Pro USER MANUALS www.hifei.com
Mounting the ESC
Recommend to use Velcro to fix the ESC on fuselage for easy
removal. keep the good airflow around the ESC.
Parameters features
Calibrating throttle range of TX
You MUST complete throttle range calibration before use a
new ESC at first time, and when change a new radio.
Kingkong III Pro ESC come with default factory settings
which are recommended for most applications. The programming options are provided for obtain optimum performance in
different setup.
Low voltage cutoff
Option 1:
very sensitivity
Low over-current threshold, will shut
down rapidly
Option 2: standard
(default)
Moderate over-current threshold, will
shut down after a slight delay. Recommended for inrunner motors.
Option 3:
Insensitivity
High over-current threshold, will shut
down after a slight delay,. Recommended
for outrunner motors. Only experienced
modelers should use this option.
Option 4: disabled
Current limiting detection disabled. Only
experienced modelers should use this
option.
Current Limiting
* Default setting is recommended. If you change the setting, damage to the
controller as a result of over current will be not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Option 1:
Disabled (default)
Brake disabled is mainly used for heli-
copters.
Option 2:
Soft brake
Soft brake provides 50% of full braking
power. General aircraft use, with fixed or
folding prop
Option 3:
Hard brake
Hard brake is 70% braking power. Direct
drive applications where more braking
power is required. Hard brake should
only be used below 12V.
Brake
Option 1: Low
(0°~15°)
Recommended for lower pole count
motors. Gives more power and slightly less efficient.
Option 2: middle
(5 °~ 20 °)
Recommended for most motors .Gives a good balance of power
and efficiency.
Option 3: High
(15° ~ 30 °)
Recommended for most of higher
pole count motors
Option4:Auto(default)
Recommended for most of all brushless motors.

Recommended to set LVC at exact Lipos series number for
better protect Lipo packs from over-discharging. ONLY
WHEN battery packs are fully charged, ‘Auto’ can detect
Lipo cells number correctly and it is suggested under this
condition.
!
0° and 30° timings are for special motors. ONLY when motor manufacturer requests the special timings, they can be
used.

1st:
Connect ESC to motor, plug receiver lead of ESC to
throttle channel of receiver.
2nd
Push joystick of transmitter to max throttle position,
power on transmitter.
3rd:
Power on receiver, connect ESC to battery. Motor emits
three beeps in drop tones.
4th:
In the following, motor will emit four long beeps in flat
tones.
During any one beep of the four long beeps, pull down
joystick to zero position immediately.
5th:
Then motor emits two beeps in up tones.
Calibrating is completed, it‟s ready to fly.

Cutoff types
Option 1 :
Hard cutoff
When battery voltage reaches cut-off voltage the motor will shutdown immediately.
Motor can be restarted by closing the throttle to the lowest position and then move the
throttle as normal.
Option 2:
Soft cutoff
(default)
When battery voltage reaches cut-off voltage, the ESC will slowly reduce motor
power to zero , you will notice a decrease
in power and it is time to land, the throttle
maintains its full linear.
Option 1:Soft start Recommended for helicopters
Option 2:
Standard start
(default)
Recommended for most of the fixed or
folding prop airplanes, and some helicopters.
Option 3: Fast start Recommended for fastest startup.
Start types
Fly Modes
Option 1: Fix Endpoint
(default)
Recommended for fixed wing aircraft and EDF
Option 2: External
Governor
ESC turn over the throttle signal to
external FBL controllers such as
VBar, Skookum,MB,BeastX etc
Option 3: Governor ESC Internal Governor
PWM rate
Option 1: 8 KHz
(default)
Recommended for most brushless motors
Option 2: 10KHz
Option 3: 12KHz
Option 4: 16 KHz Recommended for very low inductance
motors
Option 5: 20 KHz
Option 6: 24 KHz
Option 7: 28 KHz
Option 8: 32 KHz
Active FreeWheeling
Option 1: (default)
OFF
Option 2:
ON ( helicopter mode )
than its body diode, so much less heat is dissipated. ESC‟s that
are equipped with active freewheeling are able to operate over a
wider range of throttle percentages due to the more optimized
PWM algorithm that is used. This means that you can run lower
head speeds without having to re-gear or worry about your ESC
blowing up! We strongly recommend you to option Active
Freewheeling ‘On’ as you option the Governor Mode
(
helicopter mode)
Page 3
Active FreeWheeling comes in when, instead of running at
partial throttle through the FET body diodes, as one FET
switches off, the “freewheeling” diode switches on to allow the
“freewheeling” current to flow through it instead of it‟s body
diode. Since the resistance of the FET is much much lower
