RPM/Throttle Matching

LiPo/NiMH Cells

Cutoff Voltage

ESC Thermal Protection

Motor Rotation

1. RPM/Throttle Matching:

Option 1: Enabled

Through speed closed-loop control to realize cruised control function, that is, when the resistance of the vehicle changes, the ESC will automatically adjust the output torque.

Option 2: Disabled

Like common sensored brushless ESC, the ESC will not automatically adjust the output torque in this mode, that is, when the resistance of the vehicle changes, the speed will change accordingly.

2. Lipo Cells:

The default is automatic judgement. If you usually use the same battery, we suggest you set manually the number of Lipo Cells to avoid misjudgment ( Which may mistakenly judge 3S Lipo that have no

power as 2S Lipo that are fully charged, which will cause the low-voltage protection function of the ESC operates wrongly.

3. Cutoff Voltage:

This function is mainly to prevent the irrecoverable damage caused by over discharge of Lipo Cells. If the voltage protection is tur ned on, the ESC will monitor the battery voltage all the time during

operation. Once the voltage is lower than the set threshold value, the power output will gradually reduce to 50% of the normal power within 3 seconds, and the power will be completely closed after 10 seconds. When entering the low-voltage protection, the red LED will blink in the way of “☆－，☆－，☆－” in single cycle. When set to no protection, the ESC will not cut off power due to low voltage.

When using Lipo Cells, it is not recommended to set to (no protection), otherwise the battery may be damaged due to over discharge. For NiMH batteries, it is recommended to set this parameter to no

protection. The low, medium and high options correspond to 3.0v/3.2v/3.4v respectively.

4. ESC Thermal Protection:

The ESC will close output automatically when the temperature rises to the preset value, and the green light will flash, and the output will be restored until the temperature drops. The green light flashes in the way of ☆－，☆－，☆－ in single cycle。。。。。when in overheat protection.

5. Motor Rotation:

The front of the motor shaft faces the user's face (i.e. the tail of the motor is far away from the user's face, when the radio is increasing the throttle in the forward direction, if it is set to CCW, the motor

shaft rotates counterclockwise; if it is set to CW, the motor shaft rotates clockwise. Due to the structure difference of car frame, the rotation direction would not correct. If the rotation direction is wrong,

change to the reverse direction.

6. BEC Voltage:

Option 1: 6.0V

Apply to ordinary servo, if use high voltage servo, do not set to this, otherwise it will not work normally due to insufficient voltage.

Option 2: 7.4V

Apply to high voltage servo, if use ordinary servo, do not set to this, otherwise it will damage steering servo due to high voltage.

7. Drag Brake Force:

Drag brake means a brake force on the motor when the throttle trigger moves from the non-neutral range to the neutral range. There are 9 gears of drag brake force to adjust, "off" means the drag

brake force is 0; the corresponding drag brake force increases from 1 gear to 8 gear. Select the appropriate drag brake force according to the actual situation.

8. Drag Brake Rate:

It means the rate when drag brake force increases from zero to the set value when the radio trigger enters the neutral range, commonly called as slow brake. This value has 9 gears to adjust. The higher the

gear is, the greater the drag brake rate is. Reasonably set this value can make the vehicle stop more stably.

9. Max. Reverse Force:

Select different parameter value can produce different max. reverse force.

Parameter setting method

Use LED setting box to set ESC parameters

The ESC is equipped with a LED box. The LED box is small and suitable for outdoor use. The interface is intuitive. It is easy and fast to read and set parameters. The setting method is as follows:

The ESC is in off state, connect the 3pin setting interface on the 2 in 1 system switch with the interface marked with - + on the upper right corner of the setting box according to the polarity with a flat

cable with JR plug at both ends. Then power on the ESC, after a few seconds, all parameters of the ESC can be displayed. The "ITEM" and "VALUE" button on the programming card can quickly select the

programming items and parameter values, press "OK" key to save the new parameters in ESC.

ATTENTION

Switch

• Connect receiver

Insert the throttle control flat cable of the ESC into the throttle channel of receiver (that’s THROTTLE channel). Because the red line of flat cable output 6V/7.4V voltage to receiver and steering

servo, do not supply power to receiver, otherwise the ESC may be damaged. If need to supply power, pick out the red line among throttle line, wrap it and suspend.

• Connect battery

The input line of the ESC has polarity. When inserting the battery, make sure that the (+) pole of the ESC is connected to the (+) pole of the battery and the (-) pole is connected to the (-). If

the ESC is connected reversely, the ESC will be damaged. There is no warranty service for damaging ESC due to power on reversely.

ESC Setup

Set the Throttle Range – ESC Calibration – Radio Setup

Before the first use of ESC or after the radio changed parameters of throttle channel “TRIM”、D/R、EPA, the throttle range needs to be reset. Otherwise the ESC may be unable to use or wrong action. We strongly recommend to turn on fail safe function, set the no signal protection function of throttle channel（“F/S”）to close output mode or set the protection value to the midpoint

position, making the motor stop running when the receiver cannot receive signal of the radio. Adjust the throttle as following:

1. Turn on the radio, adjust the "D / R", "EPA", "ATL" of the throttle channel to 100% (if the radio has no display screen, adjust the corresponding knob

Release the ON/OFF button once the LED ﬂashes.

Move the throttle trigger to the neutral position

Press the ON/OFF button. The Green LED ﬂashes once and motor emits “Beep” tone.

3. At this time, three points need to be set: the neutral position, the end position of forward and the end position of backward.

• The throttle trigger stays at the neutral position, press the SET key, the red light goes out, the green light flashes once, and the motor emits “beep” once, indicating that the neutral position has been stored.

• Move the throttle trigger to the end position of forward, press SET key, the green light flashes twice, and the motor emits “beep” twice, indicating that the end position of forward has been stored.

• Push the throttle trigger to the end position of backward, press SET key, the green light flashes three times, and the motor emits “beep” three times, indicating that the end position of backward has been stored.

4. After calibrating and adjusting the throttle range, the motor can be operated normally.

to the maximum position), and adjust the "TRIM" of the throttle channel to 0 (if the remote control has no display screen, adjust the corresponding

knob to the middle position). Futaba and similar radio need to set the throttle channel direction to "REV", and the throttle channel direction of other

brands radio should be set to "NOR". Be sure to turn off the ABS brake function of the radio.

2. In power off state, press the power key and hold it continuously. The red light on the ESC’s switch starts to flash (and the motor sounds at the same

time), then release the key immediately (If the key is not released within 8 seconds, the ESC will enter other modes).

Move the throttle trigger to the end position of forward

Press the ON/OFF button. The Green LED ﬂashes twice andmotor emits “BeepBeep” tone.

Warning: The power of the system is powerful. For the safety

of you and other people around you, we strongly recommend

that you remove the pinion gear before calibrating and setting

the system, and turn on the control switch of the ESC when

the wheel is suspended!

Factory reset

Use LED setting box to restore factory settings. The method is as follows:

After connect setting card and the ESC, press “RESET” key and then press “OK” key to save, the factory settings can be restored.

Automatic Motor Pairing(Optional)

If the motor has been subjected to severe impact or has abnormal heating and abnormal power output during operation, need to do the following automatic motor pairing. The operation method is as

follows:

Step 1: Pull out the throttle line from the receiver and remove the motor gear.

Step 2: Connect the battery, long press and start key, the switch of ESC will flash the red light first, then switch to green light flashing after about 8 seconds, now enter the automatic motor pairing

process. The motor will automatically rotate if release the button, wait for the motor to end the rotation and the red light starts flashing, indicating that the automatic motor pairing is completed.

Step 3: After the automatic motor pairing is completed, the ESC will self-check (report Lipo Cells). Reconnect the throttle line to operate normally.

Note: Please remove the motor gear before operation, otherwise it may lead to incorrect matching and unknown risk.

Indication for LED of ESC

1. Startup phase

• In the normal state after startup, the red light is always on.

• The red light flashes continuously and rapidly: No throttle signal is detected by the ESC or the neutral position of the ESC does not match with the radio.

• The green light flashes N times: The number of Lipo Cells detection, flashes N times indicates there are N Lipo.

2. Driving stage

• The throttle trigger is in neutral range, and the green light goes out.

• When forwarding, the green light flashes; when the throttle is at the end position of forward, the green light is always on.

• When reversing, the green light flashes; when the throttle is at the end position of backward and the max. reverse force is set to 100%, the green light is always on.

3. When relevant protection functions are triggered, the LED status means:

• The red light flashes continuously(single flashing, “☆，☆，☆”): the ESC enters low-voltage protection status.

• Green light flashes continuously(single flashing, “☆，☆，☆”): the temperature of ESC is too high, and enters overheat protection status.

Troubleshooting

The indicator light is not on after power on, the motor cannot start.

Power on and finish inspecting the number of Lipo cells (Green light flashes N times), red light flashes quickly.

The radio increases throttle forward, the car reverses.

The motor suddenly stops rotating or the power output reduces obviously during rotation.

When the throttle is in neutral position, the car slowly moves forward or backward.

When set throttle range, press Set key to set neutral position, green light does not flash and emit ”beep” sound, or after setting neutral position, it cannot set the end position of forward or backward.

Malfunction SolutionCause

1. The battery voltage IS not input to the ESC.

2. The switch of ESC is damaged.

1. Throttle signal is not detected by the ESC.

2. The neutral position of ESC and radio is unmatched.

The default rotation direction setting of motor and car frame is unmatched.

1. The receiver is interfered.

2. The ESC enters low voltage protection

3. The ESC enters overheat protection

1. The middle position of radio drifts and the signal is unstable.

2. Throttle range is not calibrated well.

1. The throttle line of ESC is not inserted the correct channel of receiver.

2. The throttle line of ESC is inserted reversely.

3. The throttle channel setting does not match with the ESC.

Switch

Check whether the power input channel has poor welding, and re-weld. Replace the switch.

1. Check whether the throttle line is inserted reversely, whether the channel is inserted wrongly and whether the radio is on.

2. The throttle return to neutral position. Recalibrate throttle range.

Set default rotation direction to another item via LED setting box.

1. Check why the receiver is interfered. Check battery level of transmitter.

2. Red light flashes continuously is voltage protection, please replace battery.

3. Green light flashes continuously is temperature protection. Please use it after the temperature drops.

1. Replace a radio with stable signal.

2. Recalibrate throttle range or use throttle TRIM to calibrate midpoint.

1. Insert throttle line to The Throttle channel marked by receiver.

2. Check receiver’s mark to ensure the throttle line of ESC is inserted into receiver correctly.

3. If it is Futaba radio, set the throttle to “REV”, try to keep the ratio before and after of the throttle channel at 5:5 for other radios.
