Note: We strongly advise the use of battery connections that do not allow reverse polarity , or ESC will be damaged.
Please disconnect the battery and ESC , if not use for a long time to avoid damaging battery and accidents.
First time to use remote control transmitter or change the parameters ,like throttle middle point, ATL, EPA , throttle range will be set again.
Remote control transmitter ABS must be set as “OFF”, set throttle channel direction as “REV”, set throttle trim as “0”, EPA/ATL clockwise and
anticlockwise direction of throttle channel are set as 100% ( Max.), or it may cause no work or misoperation.
Set throttle range ( refer the setting process of throttle range)

After Wire connection and basic setting, and motor prompt tone finshed, the ESC can work.
● After setting ,Turn off the power , and turn on again, the ESC will ready for working.
● Indicator function : red light flashes when motor run.When motor run with full throttle ,green light flashes.
Reset to factory default setting: press the “set” button more than 3 seconds, then red and green lights will flash 3 times, all the setting will ●
to be the factor y tting . (this operation will not work during the process of setting throttle range default se or programming)

Programming with set button in the switch.
Note: Motor will emit “BEEP” when indicator light flashes.●
● When N>=5, indicator light will flash for a long time ( with long tone ) to represent 5 .For example, ESC red indicator flashes for a long time
once ( motor emits long tone “BEEP---” at the same time) , shows that enter the 5th set option. If ESC green indicator flashes for a long time
once then f or a short time once ( motor emits long “ BEEP---” once and short “BEEP” once at the same time), shows that it enters the 6th set
option. And the like, the 7th set option “BEEP---BEEP,BEEP,BEEP”, the 8th set option “ BEEP---BEEP,BEEP,BEEP”.
It's the easiest way to set with programming card. Operation is as following: insert signal wire to the interface in programming card , select
the options that you want ( see in the above char t), press【OK】,after VALUE screen displaying “S”, this option sets successfully .
If want to reset the option to factor y setting, please press 【RESET】, then press【OK】.
(Please see the instruction of program card for more detail)
When temperature is higher than 90°, ESC will cut off with flashing green light. When temperature is lower than 80°, motor
will restart again.
Note : To make ESC not be burnt during working , please don't cancel over heat protection.
Lipo low-voltage
protection
If running speed gets slowly (reduce power to cut off in 5 seconds), please reduce speed and stop. ESC red light will flash at
this time, it means low-voltage protection starts.
For NiMH batter y, set no low-voltage protection.
Over heat protection
Possible causes Solutions
After connecting battery, indicator led
doesn't flash, motor doesn't start ,fan
doesn't star t.
1.ESC not powered.
2.Power supply switch damaged, or switch
bad connection.
Car goes backwards when forward is
pressed.
1.The motor wires may not be connected in
the correct sequence.
Make sure the motor wires are connected in the correct
sequence
Stop suddenly during motor rotation.
1.Receiver meets interference.
2.ESC was protected by battery low-voltage or
over heat.
See the explanation of low-voltage protection and over heat
protection.
When motor starts, fast acceleration,
motor gets stuck or pauses.
1.The batter y discharge capacity isn’t enough.
2.Motor is too fast or wrong gear ratio is used.
3.ESC startup acceleration is too fast.
1.Change good discharge capacity batter y.
2.Use a slower motor or change the gear ratio .
3.Set ESC star tup acceleration ( star tup mode) slower.
