●Battery: The
input wire of
ESC can be
soldered to
the terminals
of battery
directly. The
preferred
method is to
add a plug
which matches the output wire of battery. In order to ensure optimal
system performance, the plug’s continuous rated current capacity
should be greater than 40A. We recommend the Dualsky DC3
Heavy Duty plug. In the current market for competition, it is popular
to use a battery with 、female sockets 4MM x 2 on the output wires.
For this battery system, you have to solder 2pcs male plugs of same
kind (4mm) on the input wires of the ESC. They possess a higher
conductivity (lower resistance), but it is also very easy to mistake the
positive and negative terminals when connecting the battery to the
ESC, which will burn out the ESC. So please check the polarity
carefully.
●Brushless Sensorless motor: Through the ABC three power wires,
the ESC delivers power to the sensorless motor. The combination
is very simple. ABC power wires can be soldered directly to the
motor terminals with a 60W electric soldering iron. The ABC power
wires can also be soldered to plugs which match the motor outlet
plugs, and the rated current capacity of the plugs should be greater
than 40A. We recommend the use of a Track & Field original motor,
and make it A-A, B-B, C-C. The phase of other brands motors may
be different, which will result in the motor rotating in reverse. If
45

reverse rotation happens, you can exchange any two poles to
change the direction of rotation.
●Brushless Sensed motor: There is one more sensor wire between
the sensed motor and ESC, this is the only difference from the
connection of a sensorless motor. It makes the ESC drive the
sensed motor through the Hall signal, and greatly enhances
low-speed driving torque and acceleration. The XC500TF-Crawler
has the ability to work in two modes, and can automatically identify
the mode of sensed or sensorless. Please use Track & Field original
motors or motors that are IFMAR approved. Otherwise, in the
sensed mode, it may lead to the motor or ESC working incorrectly or
burning out. Sensor wires are consumables; they may be broken or
have intermittent connections due to a poor working environment
and possible vibration. We recommend to use high-quality original
Dualsky sensor wires, and replace them after every 20 runs.
●Remote Controller - XC500TF-Crawler supports the main remote
controllers currently in the market. It works perfectly with 2.4GHZ
systems. Insert the ESC signal cable into the Throttle channel of
RX. For JR, the throttle channel is set to NOR; for Futaba, throttle
channel set to REV. Meantime, the ESC has the capacity of
continuous power supply at 6V 2A, that can supply the power to
a current high-torque digital servo for steering function.
7. ESC setting
The setting is based on Track&Field newest V2.1 driver. The climbing
vehicle firmware version is V1.0_B005Crawler and V1.0_B006_CCW.
The two version of the setting method and program are identical. The
difference lies in the version of CCW motor default direction of rotation
is clockwise(in contrast with B005), in order to fit the minority crawlers.
Note: The V1.0_B006_CCW is a optional firmware, which can be
got by upgrading on a PC connected through Dualsky USB LINK.
●Enter into operation mode
The ESC will enter into operation mode under three circumstances:
I) ESC is turned on without touching the buttons of the switch.
II) At the end of throttle calibration.
III) quit from the running programming mode.The ESC will sound a
longer tweet, meaning the ESC has entered operation mode.
The XC850TF has two operation modes of sensed and
sensorless, at any time the system will automatically select the
operating mode, with the priority of sensed mode being higher
than sensorless mode.
Note: XC500TF is special for sensorless.
●Indicator LED meaning
There are two LED indicator lights on the ESC, one red and one
green. The red light indicates an error and failure during working
time; for details please refer to “Trouble shooting". Without
abnormality, the red light is in the off state. Green light indicates
throttle state: When the throttle is at Neutral, the green light is off
(except Neutral Brake @100% when the green light will be on) ;
when the throttle is in forward, the green light flashes; when braking,
the green light will be half bright; when in full throttle forward or
maximum braking, the green light stays on.

●ESC / Radio Calibration
You should perform this function when you receive your new
Dualsky ESC, update firmware using Dualsky link or when
replacing the receiver.
First Step: Turn on the transmitter and set throttle channel to
reverse (futaba) and set throttle trim to zero. Set throttle EPA to
100% and turn off ABS function.
Note: Futaba system remote controller needs to set the throttle
channel reverse to REV.
Second Step : Connect battery to ESC. Then while holding down
red set key on power switch turn the ESC on. The Red light will
blink immediately and the motor will tweet, ESC is now in throttle
calibration mode and you can release set button.
Third Step: With throttle trigger at neutral position press the set
button once to record neutral position. Green light will flash
indicating successful recording.
Fully depress throttle trigger and press the set button once to record
full throttle position. Green light will flash twice indicating successful
recording. With trigger at full brake/reverse press the set button
once to record full brake/reverse position. Green light will flash 3
times indicating successful recording.
Fourth Step: After 3 seconds the ESC will go into operation mode.
●Running Programming
Differing from throttle calibration, running programming operates
entirely through the ESC itself, and does not need the involvement
of the transmitter. In order to ensure security, the transmitter is
suggested to be ON (but not used/controls not moved).
How to enter the mode of Running Programming?
Turn on the ESC, allow it enter the operation mode, then press the
SET button and hold it more than 3 seconds. The red light starts
flashing, indicating that the ESC has entered into the running
programming mode.
How to choose the setting item?
Under programming mode, red light flashing means the setting item,
flash one time, on behalf of Item1; flash two times, on behalf of
Item2, and so on. Red light will flash in turn automatically to indicate
different setting items. When you see the setting item you want to
enter, press the SET button, the red light is off, the green light starts
flashing, indicating you have entered into the setting item, then you
can change the value. If you have not chosen any item by the last
flashing, the ESC will quit the programming mode automatically.
How to check the current value of the setting items?
After entering into the setting item, the times of green light flashes first
time represents the current setting value, then the green light will flash
circularly to indicate different setting values.
How to change the value of setting items?
When you see the times of green light flashes for your desired
settings, press the SET button, and the value is automatically saved.
Meantime return to setting options, the green light will be off, and the
red light starts flashing.
How to quit from the running programming mode?
Wait for the red light to flash the last setting item and the ESC will
automatically quit from programming mode. Or, you can simply switch
off and then switch on to return to operation mode.
Note: when the red and green light flashes, the motor will tweet
synchronously.

8. Meaning of setting items
D²RP–Dualsky Digital Racing Profiles
Operating parameters are composed of the throttle curve, start mode
and timing advance. We need to consider the applied situation and
power system features to arrange them accordingly. It is sometimes
difficult and time-consuming for users to determine these settings.
Dualsky joined with top drivers and have done extensive testing in
many different conditions, and these settings are shown as D2RP, and
are very easy to use and understand (see the table below). Of course,
advanced racers can make their own settings that may be more
suitable using the optional Dualsky USB LINK.

Throttle Profiles: -EXP means at the beginning throttle is gentle,
Linear means original linear output, + EXP means at the beginning
throttle is rapid and fierce.
■
Start Mode is divided into a total of 9 grades, the higher grade, the
greater burst of power at the start. It is not always correct for burst
power that greater is better. It also depends on the tire grip and
battery characteristics.
■
Timing advance is divided into 8 grades. The higher timing
advance will help improve the output power, but also makes the
motor run hotter. Applied with the latest dynamic variable timing
technology, it can enhance the system efficiency significantly
under high and low speed dynamic conditions. The first grade
timing advance is 0 degree. The ESC’s green LED light is flashing
when the throttle out of neutral point to remind user the timing
advance is 0 degree at the moment. (Comply with Sportsman
competition rules)
■
These profiles were preset for D2RP, users can set them
individually by Dualsky LINK.
■
D2RP programming settings and default values may be changed
without notice.
Auto Cell
This ESC supports the popular LiPos (default), NiMH or even LiFe
batteries that are currently in the market, and it is able to judge the
number of battery cells automatically, protecting the battery from
over-discharging.
Neutral Brake
Neutral Brake can adjust the brake force when the throttle is in
neutral. Usually, for off-road cars, we set the brake to be of a lower
force. While for the Modified cars, we will set it higher due to the
weakness of motor braking force. (lower wind motor typically)
Reverse Force
Reverse Force default value is 100%. Once the XC500TF-Crawler
version throttle into the negative travel then reverse immediately.
(Other version first backward movement of the throttle is brake,
second sliding action is reversing)

10. Troubleshooting Guide
Problem: No throttle response, Red LED flashes continuously.
Solution: This means there is no connection to the transmitter. Check
that the transmitter is turned on and the lead from the ESC
is correctly plugged in to the receiver.
Problem: Throttle response cuts in and out, and the Red LED is
flashing.
Solution: This is the Low Voltage Cut Off. Allow the esc to cool then
plug in a freshly charged pack.
Problem: The motor and ESC stop operating and the Red LED
repeatedly flashes 2 consecutive times.
Solution: ESC has gone into thermal overload protection, reduce the
load appropriately (gear ratio) and wait for the ESC to cool
then continue to run your RC.
Problem: The system is running, but the Red LED stays on.
Solution: The system switched from sensored mode to sensorless
mode. First, check if the sensor wire is off or damaged.
Second, check if the motor sensor port is damaged.
