IMPORTANT!!!!
Before using your new DRAGSTER Brushless Controller for the first
time please note the following:
• Please read this manual carefully before using your new CARSON
DRAGSTER Brushless Controller!
• Always make sure that you have the right gear ratio. The vehicle
must not be geared low over a long period.
• Only use original CARSON SHOOTER BL motors. Only use a
sensor-based motor for the Pro Controller and a sensorless motor
for the Sport Controller.
• Stop driving immediately if the cooling fan fails.
• Do not connect the battery cable (plus and minus) with reversed
polarity. The guarantee is not valid if a short circuit occurs.
• Select the correct battery type / under-voltage protection
(Cut-Off).
1. Basic settings on the transmitter
To ensure that best operation of the electronic speed controller is not
compromised by default settings on the transmitter, certain settings
on the remote transmitter should be reset before programming the
speed controller.
• Set the upper end stop for the throttle / brake servo to maximum
by selecting the highest level for the upper EPA/ATV setting.
• Set the lower end stop for the throttle / brake servo to maximum
as well by selecting the highest level for the lower EPA/ATV
setting.
• Set the trim of the throttle / brake lever to the middle position.
• Select the neutral position for the throttle / brake lever:
For training journey at e.g. 50/50 full throttle / braking
(with reverse travel)
For racing mode at e.g. 70/30 full throttle / braking
(without reverse travel)

2. Synchronising the controller with the
remote transmitter
• Switch on the transmitter.
• Connect the controller to the power supply.
• Hold down the SET button and switch the controller on at the
on / off switch; you will hear a beep.
The blue LED lights up.
• Set the throttle / brake lever to the full acceleration position.
The red and yellow LED lamps flash briefly and then remain
illuminated. You will hear a beep.
The full throttle setting is stored.
• Return the throttle / brake lever fully.
The yellow and blue LED lamps flash briefly and then remain
illuminated. You will hear two beeps.
The brake setting is stored.
• Put the throttle / brake lever to neutral.
The red and green LED lamps flash briefly and then remain
illuminated. You will hear three beeps.
• The synchronization is complete, all LEDs are out.
• Switch the controller off.
When you switch the controller on again, the speed controller is
synchronized to the transmitter and is fundamentally ready for use.
If your RC car goes backwards when you activate
the transmitter to accelerate forwards, swap 2 of 3 cables
to the motor.

Green LED illuminated: Training mode (Reverse travel ON)
Yellow LED illuminated: Racing mode (Reverse travel OFF)
All LEDs flash: Sensor cable loose or not connected,
Speed controller is not working! (Only
applies to sensor-based speed controller!)
When you operate the speed controller for the first time, the under-
voltage protection (Cut-Off) is switched off as it depends on the type
of battery used. The undervoltage protection is only activated after
the battery type has been selected:
Red LED flashes: Undervoltage protection on
NiCd/NiMH:
LED flashes when a battery voltage of 4 V is
reached or undershot, engine continues to
run.
Two-cell or three-cell LiPo:
LED flashes when the battery voltage of
3.0 V per cell is reached or undershot.
The engine continues to run, but only on
half power.
Discontinue using the vehicle and charge
the battery.

7. Setting the electronic speed controller
The speed controller can be operated immediately after it has been
synchronized with the transmitter. However, specific parameters can
be adjusted to suit particular conditions.
The controller is programmed using the SET button. When you press
the button down, different LEDs and combinations of LEDs flash one
after the other. Each LED combination represents a particular menu
which can be selected and set by releasing the SET button at the
required combination.
The following parameters may be selected:
• Battery type (NiCd/NiMH, LiPo), Cut-Off
• Training journey / racing mode
• Braking action 0% - 70%
• Percentage drag brake when the throttle / braking lever is in
neutral 0% - 45%
• Dead band Level 1 – 5
• Driver profile 1 - 5: Select from four pre-programmed settings for
throttle / brake.
Profile 5 resets the speed controller to the factory defaults.
You have various tuning options within the individual menu items.
These are distinguished by the flashing frequency of individual or
several LEDs, and are selected by pressing the SET button.
When you select the menu item, the LED flashes / LEDs flash in the
frequency of the previously selected option.

8. Selecting the battery type
When the battery type is selected, the undervoltage protection
(NiCd/NiMH: at 4V or lower, two or three-cell LiPo: at 3.0 V per cell or
lower) is activated.
If you wish to drive without undervoltage protection (Cut-Off), you
must select 5 in the driver profile (reset to factory defaults) and
reconfigure the other parameters to your requirements again.

12. Setting the dead band
With the dead band setting you can adjust the speed controller to
the transmitter being used by changing the transition from forward
drive to brake action. Level 1 means a narrower transition area which
requires particularly finely tuned transmitting signals. Simple
transmitters are sufficient for the wider transition area at Level 5.
