1)Plan Sp eed Cont rol Placement
Choo se a loc ati on fo r the sp eed control th at is pr otected fro m deb ris . To prevent radi o
inte rfe ren ce pl ace the spe ed contr ol as fa r away from the rad io re cei ver as poss ibl e
and keep the power wire s as short as possible.S ele ct a loc ati on th at has good airflow
vent ila tin g. If the ESC get s air fl ow, it will run c ool er; an d that means, it will be
more eff ici ent.
WARNING: This is an extremely powerful brushless motor system. We strongly
recommend removing your pinion gear for your own safety and the safety of those around you
before performing calibration and programming functions with this system. Please keep your
hands, hair, cloth, clear from the gear train and wheels of an armed high performance system.
SAF ET Y NOT E

WATER & ELECTRON ICS DON 'T MIX!
Never allow wat er, moist ure, or other foreign materials to get ins ide ESC , motor, or on the
PC Board s. Water damage will void the warranty!
INSULATE WIRES
Always insul ate exp osed wi ring wi th heat shrink tubing or electrical tap e to preve nt short
circuits, which can da mage ES C.
TRANSMITTER ON FIRS T
Turn on the transmitter first THEN turn on the spee d contr ol.
DISCONNECT BATTERIES WHEN NOT IN USE
Always disco nnect the batt ery pac k from the speed control whe n not in use to avoid short
circuits and po ssib le fire ha zard .
NO REVER SE VOLTAGE!

TIMING PRODU CES DAN GERO USLY HIGH SPEED
When Toro's ele ctro nic motor timing is enabled, the vehicl e speed ca n be increased
dramatically. Please take ext ra prec auti ons.
TIMING INCRE ASE ESC & MOTO R'S TEMPERATURE.
Electronic motor ti ming wi ll incr ease the temperatures of ESC and brushl ess mot or. Use
extreme caut ion whe n setti ng up and testing your application to avoi d overl oadi ng
and over heat ing.
2-3 LIPO OR 4- 8 NiMH CELLS ONLY
Never use fewer th an 2 or more than 3 LIPO cells (4 -8 NiMH) in the vehicle' s main bat tery
pack. The Toro 10 handles up to 12.6 Volts Max.
2)Mount Speed Control in Vehicle
Use double-sided tape to mount the speed control in vehicle(do not use CA glue).
Secure power capacitor module to chassis. You can use double-sides tape or a
tie wrap to mount power capacitor to the vehicle' s chassis or shock tower. Module
can also be tie-wrapped along the power wires.
Use double- sided tape to mount the switch where it will be easy to acc ess. Select
a position whe re it will not get damaged or get switched OFF durin g a crash or
roll-over.
Cut the ESC's BLUE, YELLOW & ORANGE silicone motor power wires to the desired
length and strip about 3.2mm-6.35mm (1/8”-1/4”) of insulation from the end of each
wire. “Pre-tin”the wire by heating the end and applying solder until it is thoroughly
covered.
CAUTION: By very careful not to splash yourself with hot solder.
Place the ESC's BLUE Phase ‘A’ motor wire onto motor's ‘A’ solder tab and solder.
Use soldering iron to apply heat to exposed wire; begin adding solder to tip of soldering
iron and wire. Add just enough solder to form a clean and continuous joint from the
plated area of the solder tab up onto the wire. Solder the ECS's YELLOW Phase
‘B’ motor wire to the motor's ‘B' solder tab and Solder the ESC's ORANGE
Phase ‘C' motor wire to motor’s ‘C’ solder tab.

From this point on, when you connect batteries and turn on the switch, the ESC will give the
initialization tone and flash, and the arming tone will ring second or two later. If the ESC is
programmed for the Auto-Lipo setting, it will beep the number of cells in you Lipo pack
between the initialization tones and the arming tones. After the arming tone plays, the ESC
will ACTIVE and will respond to the throttle application.

Programming Card allows you to modify the most commonly used settings in your TORO
PRO controller all at the touch of a single button. No computer needed. Simply connect the
Programming Card to the SKYLink interface pins of the controller and power the programming
card as described below. Click the button to scroll through and change the indicated
settings. All the settings will show on the programming card at once. Can't get any easier!

You must answer yes or no to the setting values as they are presented by TORO PRO.
When you enter programming mode the ESC will emit a sequence of beeps and LED flashes
that tell you which programming step you are in. There are two parts to the beep sequence.
The first set of beeps indicates the 'Setting Number (Question), e.g. Brake/Reverse Type, and
the second set of beeps indicates a Setting Value, e.g. Reverse Lockout. Answering "No" to a
Setting value will cause the ESC to ask for the next value in that section. After a "Yes" answer
is accepted, the ESC knows you aren't interested in any other option in that section, so it
skips to the first option in the next section.
" " " "
Note: If you answer "no" to all Setting Values for a particular Setting Number, the ESC will
keep whatever value had been previously programmed. Only by answering "Yes" to a Setting
Value will the ESC store/change that value.

When answering a question, you will need to move the trigger to yes (full throttle) position or
the no (full brake) position and keep it there for about 3 seconds. When the ESC has
accepted your answer it will confirm your reply by flashing the LED and emitting a beeping
tone. Release the trigger allowing it to go to Neutral to confirm that you are ready for ESC to
ask you next question. You are not required to continue through all eight programming
options. For example, if you wish only to change the Brake/Reverse Type (Option 1) then after
programming that setting you can disconnect power from the ESC and you're ready to run.
Disconnecting the controller in the middle of programming simply retains the values for the
remaining programming options that were previously set up.

To conform to ROAR's Sportsman Class racing rules and help race organizers monitor driver
compliance in non-timing race classes, Toro 10 ESC has included a feature in this speed
control that indicates when the ESC has its electronic motor timing advancement feature
activated.
At all times when the speed control is powered ON and the Dynamic Motor Timing is turned
ON and set to a level greater than zero timing advance, the ESC's white status LED will be
illuminated during normal operation.
