systems for RC model can
be
very
dangerous
and
we
strongly suggest
tlat
you
read
this
manual carefully
Hobbyking Model have no control
over
the
use,
installation,
application, or maintenance of these
products,
thus no
liability
shall be
assumed nor
accepúed
for
any damages, losses of costs resulting
from the use of this itern. Any claims arisiag from the
operating,
faift¡re
or
malfunctioning etc. will be denied. We assume no liability
for
personal
injury,
property
damage or consequential damages resulting from
our
product
or our
workmanship. As fa¡ as is legally
permitted,
the obligation for
compensation
is
limited to the invoice
amount of
the
product
in
question.
The Hobbyking
ESC's high
powerBEC
has been specifrcally desiped for extreme
aerobatics and therefore has the capability to support the higher momentary
peak
demand
loads
to eliminate the
possibility
of unwanted shutdowns, and is also
capable of supporting continuous simultaneous
multiple
servo operations
typically
found in
CCPM
equipped hardcore
3D
E-helicopters.
Wires Connection:
The speed controller can be co¡nected to the motor by soldering directly or with
high
quali§
connectors. Always
use
new connectors, which should be soldered
carefully to the cables and insulated with heat shri¡k tube. The maximum length of
the battery
pack
wires shall be within 6 inches.
o
Solder
conholler to the motor wires.
a
Solder appropriate comectors to the bauery wires.
o
lnsulate all
solder comectom
with heat sbrink tube.
O
Plug the "JR" comector into the receiverth¡ottle channel.

when
the tb¡ottle
stick is
at the
minimum
position (Recommended
for
folding

+
OFF-Sets the propeller

2.Battery
§pe:
LiPo
or NiC¡d/NiMH
*
NiCad/NiMH-
Sets Low Voltage

threshold for
NiCad/NiMH
c¿lls.
*
LiPo
-
Sets Low voltage protection
threshold
for Lipo
cells and
automatically
detects the number
ofcells withid
the
pack.
Note:
Selecting
the NiCad,/NiMHoprion
for
the battery
type, triggers
the ESC to
automatically
set the cutoff
threshold to
the factory
default
of 60lo. The
cutoff
thieshold
can then
be subsequently
altered through
the
Low Voltage
protection
function,
if required.
The ESC will
read the initial
voltage
of the NiCad/NiMh pack
once it is
plugged
in
and the voltage
read
will then
be used as a reference
for the
cutoff volt¿ge
tbreshold.
3.Low Voltage

l) For Li-PO
packs-
number
of cells
are automatically
calculated
and requires
no
user input
apart from
defining the
battery type. This
ESC
provides
3 setting
options
for the low voltage protection
threshold
;
Low
(2.8V/
Medium
(3.0V)/
High
(3.2V).
For
example :
the voltage
cutoffoptions for
an ll.lV/
3 cell Li-Po
pack
would
be
8.4V
(Low)/
9.ov(Med/
9.6v(High)
2) For Ni-MH
packslow
/
medium / high
cutoff voltages
are
50W6ü/o/65%
of the
initial voltage
ofthe
battery
pack..
For
example: A
ñrlly charged
6 cell Nil,lh
pack's
voltage
is 1.44Y xGS.64Y,when
"LOW"
cutoffvoltage
is
set, the cutoffvoltage
is:
8.64Y x50o/o4.3V
and when
"Medium" of
"High"
is
set, the cutofrvoltage
is now
8.64V X 6570:5.61V.

Automatic
S.Timing setup : Autom&tic/ Low / High.
*
Automatic
(7-30deg)-ESC
automatically determines
the optimum motor timing
r
Low
(7-22
deg)
-
Setting for most 2
pole
motors.
*
High(22-30 deg)-setting for motors with
6 or more
poles.
In most cases, automatic timing works well for
all types of motors.However for
high efficiency we recommend the Low timing
setting for 2
pole
motors
(general
in-runners) and
high
timing for 6
poles
and above
(general
outrunners). For higher
speed, High timing can
be set. Some motors require different
timi¡g
.sef¡pg
therefore we
suggest
you
to follow
the manufacturer recommended
setup or use
the
automatic timing
setting
ifyou
are unsure.
Note: Run
yor¡r
motor on the
ground
first after making any
changes to
your
motor
timing!
6.Soft Acceleration Start ups: Very

I
Very
Soft
-
Proüdes
initial
slow 1.5 sec ramp-up from start to full rpm intended
to
protect
delicate
gears
from
stripping under instant load. This setting is
¡ecommended for
either
fixed
wing models equipped with
gearboxes
and / or
helicopters.
t
Soft Acceleration- Proüdes initial
slow 1 sec ramp-up from start to fifl rpm. This
setting is recommended for
either
fixed wing models
eqüpped üth
gearboxes
and
or helicopters.
*
Start Acceleration - Provides
quick
acceleration
start ups
with
a
linear
th¡ottle
response. This is recommended
for fxed wing models fitted with direct drive
setups.

There will be a 5-second delay from

There will be a l5-seond delay ftom

next start will be as nomal staft.
Note: Once ttre
Governor Mode is enabled, the ESC's Brake and Low Voltage
CutoffType settings will
automatically be reset to No Brake and Reduce Power
respectively regardless
ofwhat settings they were
previously
set.
E.Motor Rot¡tion:
Forwsrd/Reverse
In most
cases motor rotation is usually reversed
by swapping two motor wires.
However, in
cases where the motor cables have
been directly soldered the ESC
cables,
motor
rotation catr be reversed
by changing the value ofsetting on the ESC.

-
ESC reduces motor

-
ESC instantly cuts

when the
pre-set
Low Voltage

Built-in Intellieent
ESC Safetv Functions
1. Over-heat
protection:
When the temperature ofESC
exceed 110 deg C,
the ESC
will reduce
the
output
power
to allow
it too
cool.
2. Lost Throttle signal
protection:
The ESC will automatically
cut
power
to the
motor when it detects a lost of
throttle signal for
2
secon(
then
motor will emit continuous beeping
tone.
