Thank you for choosing TrakPower as your
™
source for brushless electronics. The MS-1
ESC was specifi cally developed for 1/10th
competition. The MS-1 ESC features an
aluminum CNC machined case which is
designed as a heat sink to reduce operating
temperatures and eliminate the need for a
cooling fan. The switch and receiver lead
exit the top of the case to allow the ESC to
fi t into the smallest areas, and gold-plated
solder posts provide the best option for
solder connections. Pre-installed power
capacitors ensure power is available
for when it is demanded. The MS-1 also
features “blinky” mode, a popular race
mode for stock class racing.
It is strongly recommended to
completely read this manual before
use! Damage resulting from misuse or
modification will void your warranty.

Important Precautions
Disconnect the battery from the ESC immediately if the ESC or battery becomes hot!! Allow
•
the ESC or battery to cool down before reconnecting.
NEVER use more than the specifi ed voltage on the ESC’s input.
•
ALWAYS mount the ESC in a position where free air can fl ow across it during operation.
•
ALWAYS monitor ESC temperatures.
•
Always turn on the transmitter before connecting the battery to the ESC.
•
Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when not in use.
•
Make sure the input battery is fully charged before connecting to the ESC, so the low voltage
•
cutoff feature can function properly.
Do not attempt to use with brushed motors.
•
Use heat shrink tubing to insulate any bare wires between the motor battery and ESC, and
•
from the ESC to the motor, to prevent a short circuit.
Allow the ESC to cool before touching.
•
Do not run the car near water! Never allow water, moisture or any foreign material onto the
•
ESC’s PC board.
Do not allow metal/conductive materials to accidentally make contact across all motor/
•
battery posts.
Never turn on the ESC before plugging it into the receiver and switching on the transmitter.
•
Keep out of reach of children.

Installation
Refer to your vehicle’s manual for the best mounting location and position on your chassis.
Always mount in a location where it will receive maximum airfl ow over and around the unit.
The MS-1 ESC features a CNC machined aluminum case that functions as a heat sink and helps
reduce operating temperatures. Once the mounting location has been determined, use the
included mounting tape to secure the ESC to the chassis.
Included are fi ve 200mm pieces of 12AWG silicon wire for the motor and battery connections.
You will need to supply the battery connector of your choice. It is highly recommended to make
one solder connection at a time so that there is no possibility of making an incorrect connection
which could result in permanent damage to the ESC and/or motor.
