• Please carefully read this entire User Manual before using your ESC.
• Improper use and/or unauthorized modification to the ESC is extremely dangerous and can cause damage to the ESC and
other connected devices, such as the motor, battery, servo, and transponder, which is not covered under warranty.
• Make sure the battery voltage does not exceed the rating shown in the specifications chart.
• Connecting the battery with reverse polarity will cause immediate damage to the ESC, which is not covered under warranty.
• Make sure all connection points are insulated, where possible, to avoid short circuits, which are not covered under warranty.
• Make sure the battery connectors are firmly secured into the battery. Loose battery connectors can cause your battery
case to melt at the connection points, which are not covered under warranty.
• Use a minimum 50-watt soldering iron for all input and output connections.
• Before attempting any soldering, make sure that you are confident in your soldering abilities. Improper soldering can cause
short circuits and poor performance, which is not covered under warranty. If you are unsure about soldering, please find
someone with experience who can help you.
• Do not allow the ESC to exceed 105˚C/221˚F, which can cause permanent damage to the ESC and/or motor, which is not
covered under warranty. We recommend leaving the “over-heat protection” set to the default setting of 221˚F and using the
included fan, for the best protection and performance.
• You must disconnect the battery after use. Even when the ESC is off, it will continue to slowly discharge the battery.
Over-discharged LiPo batteries can be permanently damaged and are very dangerous. Over-discharged batteries can cause
fire, explosion, bodily injury and property damage, which Fantom or any of Fantom’s associates cannot be held responsible
for. Damage to the ESC and/or battery, caused by an over-discharged battery is not covered under warranty.
• Do not rev the ESC to full throttle when your vehicle is lifted off the bench or overturned on the track, as this can cause
rubber tires to shred or explode, which is very dangerous and can cause bodily injury and property damage, which Fantom or
any of Fantom’s associates cannot be held responsible for. This can also cause permanent damage to your motor, which is
not covered under warranty.
• This ESC is not a toy. Adult supervision is required at all times.
• Fantom Racing owners, employees, affiliates, manufacturers, dealers and distributors cannot be held responsible for any
damage and/or injury caused from the use and/or misuse of this product. The user accepts full responsibility for the use of
this product. By using this product, the user agrees to all the information contained in this document. If you disagree with
anything written in this document, please return this product to the source that you purchased it from. The product must be
in brand new condition to be accepted for return.

7. Connect the power wire “+” to the “+” side of your battery connector (wired type battery), or to the “+” connector going to
the “+” side of your battery (inboard bullet type battery). We highly recommend marking the “+” wire with a short piece of red
heat shrink tube, to help avoid mistakenly plugging the “+” connector into the “-“ side of the battery, which will cause immediate
damage to the ESC, which is not covered under warranty.
Connect the power wire “-” to the “-” side of your battery connector (wired type battery), or to the “-” connector going to the “-”
side of your battery (inboard bullet type battery).
Important Tips:
1. Avoid soldering longer than 5 seconds per solder joint, when replacing the power wires on the ESC. Prolonged heat from
the soldering iron can cause permanent damage to the circuit board, which is not covered under warranty.
2. The BEC wire is only used to connect the ESC to the radio receiver. To connect the ESC to the LCD Program Card, you
must use the signal cable that is included with the LCD Program Card.
3. We recommend using the fan for the best protection and performance. Excess heat can cause permanent damage to the
internal components and/or premature failure, which is not covered under warranty. Also, excess heat increases the
electrical resistance of the ESC, which in turn lowers the performance capability.
