ESC Operation

Thanks for purchasing our electronic speed controller(ESC). The power system for RC model

can be very dangerous, please read this manual carefully. In that we have no control over

the correct use, installation, application, or maintenance of our products, no liability shall be

assumed nor accepted for any damages, losses or costs resulting from the use of the product.

FEATURES:

• Water-proof and dust-proof for all weather races.

• Small size with built-in capacitor module.

• Automatic throttle range calibration, easy to use.

• Multiple protections: Low voltage cut-off protection for Lipo or NiMH battery /

Over-heat protection / Throttle signal loss protection.

• Easily programmed with the jumpers.

SPECIFICATION

* There are 2 kinds of WP-1040-BRUSHED-Crawler& Boat speed controllers, one has 1 output

for 1 motor, and the other one has 2 outputs for 2 motors (2 motors work synchronously).

** The WP-860-DUAL BRUSHED has 2 outputs to drive 2 motors synchronously. When driving 2

motors, the Turns of the motors need to be increased.

BEGIN TO USE

1. Connect the ESC, motor, receiver, battery and servo according to the following diagram:

“+” and “-” wires of the ESC are connected to the battery pack.

Attention: The incorrect polarity will damage the ESC immediately.

The control cable of the ESC (trio wires with black, red and white color) is connected to

the throttle channel of the receiver (Usually CH2). The “Motor +” and “Motor –” wires are

connected to ESC without any order.

If the motor runs in the opposite direction, please swap these two wire connections.

2. Set the Transmitter

Please set the “D/R”, “EPA” and “ATL” to 100% for throttle channel (for transmitter without

LCD, please turn the knobs to the maximum value), and set the “TRIM” of the throttle channel

to 0 (for transmitter without LCD, please turn the TRIM knob to its neutral position).

For FutabaTM and the similar transmitters, the direction of throttle

channel shall be set to “REV”, while other radio systems shall be set to “NOR”.

The “Fail Save” function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated. Please

make sure that the motor can be stopped when the “Fail Save” happens.

3. Throttle Range Setting (Throttle Range Calibration)

In order to make the ESC match the throttle range of different transmitters, the calibration of

the ESC is necessary.

To calibrate the ESC, please turn on the transmitter, keep throttle stick at its neutral position,

wait for 3 seconds to let the ESC execute self-test and automatic throttle calibration. When the

ESC is ready to run, a long beep sound is emitted from the motor.

Note: Please calibrate the throttle range again when using a new transmitter or changing the

settings of the neutral position of throttle channel, D/R, ATV, ATL or EPA parameters,otherwise

the ESC may not work properly.

2. Over-heat protection: When the internal temperature of the ESC is higher than 100 Celsius degree or 212

Fahrenheit degree for 5 seconds, the ESC will reduce and cut off the output power.

When the car stops, the red LED blinks to indicate the over-heat protection has been activated. If the ESC cools

down to 80 Celsius degree (176 Fahrenheit degree) the output power is recovered to normal state.

3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will cut off the output power if the throttle signal has been lost for 0.1 second.

The “Fail Save” function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated.

【THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “BRUSHED” AND “BRUSHED-CRAWLER& BOAT” ESC】

1. “Brushed” and “Brushed-Crawler& Boat” ESCs have different backward-running modes.

“Brushed” ESC uses “Double-Click” method to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick from

forward zone to backward zone for the first time, the ESC begins to brake the motor, the motor speeds down but

still running, so the backward action is NOT happened at this moment. When the throttle stick is moved to the

backward zone again (The 2nd “click”), if the motor speed is slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward

action will be activated. The “Double-Click” method prevents mistakenly reverse when the brake function is

frequently used in steering.

“Brushed-Crawler& Boat” ESC uses “Single-click” to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick

from forward zone to backward zone, the car will go backward immediately. This mode is common for the Rock

Crawler and tank.

2. The maximum reverse force (for backward running) is 50% for the general “Brushed” ESC, 100% for the “Crawler”

mode of a “Brushed-Crawler & Boat” ESC, and 25% for the "Boat" mode of a “Brushed-Crawler & Boat” ESC.

3. The Low Voltage Cut-off Protection modes are different (Please check the instructions in the section of

“PROTECTION FUNCTIONS”).

• Do not disassemble the battery or cut the connector wires.

• If the battery connector gets hot enough to melt there is most likely a serious problem

with your model, driveline, battery wires or speed controller. Find and correct the

problem before installing another charged battery pack.

• NEVER charge the battery unattended incase of overcharging, you need to be able to

monitor the battery during charging.

• Charge away from ammable objects and on a non-ammable surface incase the

battery becomes too hot.

TABLE B: LVC PROTECTION FOR WP-1625-BRUSHED-CRAWLER, WP-1040-BRUSHED-

CRAWLER&BOAT, WP-860-DUAL BRUSHED (CRAWLER OR BOAT MODE).

2. Over-heat protection: When the internal temperature of the ESC is higher than 100 ˚C or 212

Fahrenheit degree for 5 seconds, the ESC will reduce and cut off the output power.

When the car stops, the red LED blinks to indicate the over-heat protection has been

activated. If the ESC cools down to 80 Celsius degree (176 Fahrenheit degree) the output

power is recovered to normal state.

3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will cut off the output power if the throttle signal

has been lost for 0.1 second. The “Fail Save” function of the radio system is strongly

recommended to be activated.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “BRUSHED” AND “BRUSHED-CRAWLER & BOAT” ESC

1. “Brushed” and “Brushed-Crawler& Boat” ESCs have different backward-running modes.

“Brushed” ESC uses “Double-Click” method to make the car go backward. When you move

the throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone for the rst time, the ESC begins to

brake the motor, the motor speeds down but still running, so the backward action is NOT

happened at this moment. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again

(The 2nd “click”), if the motor speed is slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward

action will be activated. The “Double-Click” method prevents mistakenly reverse when the

brake function is frequently used in steering.

“Brushed-Crawler& Boat” ESC uses “Single-click” to make the car go backward. When

you move the throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone, the car will go backward

immediately. This mode is common for the Rock Crawler and tank.

2. The maximum reverse force (for backward running) is 50% for the general “Brushed” ESC,

100% for the “Crawler” mode of a “Brushed-Crawler & Boat” ESC, and 25% for the “Boat”

mode of a “Brushed-Crawler & Boat” ESC.

3. The Low Voltage Cut-off Protection modes are different (Please check the instructions in

the section of “PROTECTION FUNCTIONS”).

TROUBLE SHOOTING

• After power on, motor can’t work, no sound is emitted,

and LED is off.

• After power on, motor can’t work; red LED blinks.

• The car runs backward while giving throttle.

(The motor runs in the opposite direction).

• The car can’t go backward.

• The car can’t go forward, but can go backward.

• The motor doesn’t work, but the LED in the ESC works

normally.

• The motor suddenly stops running while in working state.

• The car cannot get top speed and the red LED doesn’t

solid on at full throttle.

• Motor is cogging when accelerated quickly.

• The ESC doesn’t get its working voltage; Connections

between battery pack and ESC are broken.

• Switch is damaged.

• Throttle signal is abnormal.

• Automatic throttle range calibration is failed.

• The wire connections between ESC and the motor need to

be changed.

• The jumper position is wrong.

• The neutral point of throttle channel is changed or drifted.

• The direction of throttle channel is not correct.

• The connections between motor and ESC are broken.

• Motor is damaged.

• The throttle signal is lost.

• Low voltage cut-offprotection or Over-heat cut-off

protection has been activated.

• Some setting in the transmitter are incorrect.

• The battery has limited discharge ability.

• Motor RPM is too high, the gear ratio is too aggressive.

• Something wrong in the driving system of the

car.

• Check the battery wires connection or replace the

defective connectors.

• Replace the switch.

• Check the throttle wire connection; make sure it is

plugged into the throttle channel of the receiver.

• Set the “TRIM” of throttle channel to 0 or turn the knob to

its neutral position.

• Swap two wire connections between the ESC and

the motor.

• Check the jumper and plug it to the correct position.

• Set the “TRIM” of throttle channel to 0 or turn the knob to

its neutral position.

• Reset the direction of throttle channel from original “NOR”

to “REV”, or from original “REV” to “NOR”.

• Check the connections and replace the defective

connectors.

• Replace the motor.

• Check the transmitter and the receiver.

• Check the throttle wire connection.

• Replace the battery pack, or cool down the ESC.

• Check the settings. Set D/R, EPA, ATL to 100% or turn the

knobs to maximum value. Set TRIM to 0 or turn the knob

to its neutral position.

• Use battery with better discharge ability.

• Use motor with lower RPM, or use smaller pinion to get

softer gear ratio.

• Check the driving system of the car.

CHARGING

Getting Started

Switch on transmitter. Hold vehicle clear of the ground, connect battery pack and

switch on receiver. Bind the Transmitter and receiver if required.

Test the transmitter to check control of the vehicle with wheels off the ground.

Start driving slowly and if the vehicle does not go straight, adjust steering trim dial

on Transmitter. For the very rst run use the throttle gently, to gradually bed in the

motor brushes and help the driver become accustomed to the vehicles behaviour

and controls.

PLEASE NOTE:

Although the electronics are waterproof the rest of car can be subjected to damage

if running in excessively wet or submerged conditions.

After Run.

Switch off the receiver power, switch off the transmitter and lower the aerial.

Disconnect the battery and remove it from the vehicle, allow it to cool before

recharging. If you have a second charged battery all ready to use, still allow the

vehicle to cool slightly before continuing.

Regular maintenance.

Frequently check the whole vehicle for loose or missing xings. Use thread lock on

any replacement screws into metal threads.

Frequently check rotating parts are free from grass, string etc. that might bind

their motion and over stress the motor or speed controller. Remove the wheels

occasionally and check behind the mounting hex for obstructions or anything that

might have been wrapped around the axle and caused extra drag.

Shock absorbers will wear prematurely if used in dirty dusty conditions. Replace oil

and seals as required to keep a smooth dampening action.

Spécications:

* Il y a 2 types de contrôleur de vitesse WP – 1040 – Brushed - Crawler & Bateau, l’un possède 1 sortie pour 1

moteur, l’autre possède 2 sorties pour 2 moteurs (les moteurs fonctionnent de manières synchronisée)

** Le WP – 860 – Dual à charbon possède 2 sorties pour contrôler 2 moteurs de façon synchronisée. Lorsque

vous utilisez les 2 moteurs, le nombre de Tours (T) des moteurs doit être augmenté.

Commencez à vous en servir

1. Branchez l’ESC, le moteur, le récepteur, la batterie et le servo en suivant le schéma et en

respectant bien les polarités + et – indiquées.

Attention : Une mauvaise polarité endommagerait immédiatement l’ESC.

Le câble de commande de l’ESC (celui composé de câbles noir, rouge et blanc) vient se

connecter sur la voie des gaz du récepteur (généralement la voie 2). Les polarités des

câbles du moteur (Moteur +) et (Moteur -) peuvent être branché dans les 2 sens. Si jamais

le moteur tourne dans le mauvais sens, il vous suft d’inverser le branchement de ces 2

câbles.

2. Régler la télécommande

Veuillez régler le Dual / Rate (D/R), le débattement (EPA) et les trims autour du neutre

(ATL) de la voie des gaz à 100% et réglez le Trim des gaz de la voie des gaz à 0 (si votre

télécommande ne possède pas d’écran de réglage, utilisez les potentiomètres).

Pour les télécommandes Futaba ou similaire, vous devez régler le sens de la commande

des gaz sur inversé (REV). Pour les autres télécommandes réglez le sens de la commande

des gaz dans le sens classique (NOR).

1. Réglage du débattement de la voie des gaz (calibration)

An que votre ESC détermine la plage de la commande des gaz de votre télécommande,

vous devez effectuer une calibration.

An de calibrer votre ESC, allumez votre télécommande, laissez la gâchette des gaz au

neutre et attendez 3 sec pendant que l’ESC réalise des tests et effectue une calibration

automatique. Une fois l’ESC prêt, un long beep est émis par le moteur.

Note : Effectuez la calibration de la voie des gaz à chaque fois que vous utilisez une

nouvelle télécommande ou que vous changez le réglage de la position du neutre de la voie

des gaz ou le D/R, ATV, ATL ou EPA, dans le cas contraire, l’ESC pourrait ne pas fonctionner

correctement.

Signications des beeps et de la LED

Régler l’ESC

L’ESC se programme grâce à une prise de servo spéciale

Thanks for purchasing our electronic speed controller(ESC). The power system for RC model can be very

dangerous, please read this manual carefully. In that we have no control over the correct use, installation,

application, or maintenance of our products, no liability shall be assumed nor accepted for any damages,

losses or costs resulting from the use of the product.

【【FEATURES】】

1. Water-proof and dust-prooffor all weather races.

2. Small size with built-in capacitor module.

3. Automatic throttle range calibration, easy to use.

4. Multiple protections: Low voltage cut-off protection for Lipo or NiMH battery / Over-heat protection / Throttle signal

loss protection.

5. Easily programmed with the jumpers.

【【SPECIFICATIONS】】

* There are 2 kinds of WP-1040-BRUSHED-Crawler& Boat speed controllers, one has 1 output for 1 motor, and the other

one has 2 outputs for 2 motors (2 motors work synchronously).

** The WP-860-DUAL BRUSHED has 2 outputs to drive 2 motors synchronously. When driving 2 motors, the Turns of the

motors need to be increased.

【【BEGIN TO USE】】

1. Connect the ESC, motor, receiver, battery and servo according to the following diagram

“+” and “-” wires of the ESC are connected to the battery pack.

Attention: The incorrect polarity will damage the ESC immediately.

The control cable of the ESC (trio

wires with black, red and white color)

is connected to the throttle channel

of the receiver (Usually CH2). The

“Motor +” and “Motor –” wires are

connected to ESC without any order.

If the motor runs in the opposite

direction, please swap these two

wire connections.

2. Set the Transmitter

Please set the “D/R”, “EPA” and

“ATL” to 100% for throttle channel

(for transmitter without LCD, please

turn the knobs to the maximum
