• Please read instructions carefully before using !
• Do not run the car in or around water. Never allow water, moisture, or other foreign materials
to enter the ESC.
• Only use 6 - 7 cells for NiCd / NiMH and 2 cells for LiPo.
• Always disconnect the battery pack from the speed controller when not in use.
• Always turn on the ESC after plugging it into the receiver and switching on the transmitter.
• Always check the battery polarity is correct – reverse polarity will damage the speed controller.
• Do not touch the transistors when they get hot !
• Be careful to avoid short-circuits between the various cables.
• Install the speed controller in such a way that it cannot come into contact with grease,
water, or oil.
• It is very important to determine the best location that allows efficient airflow
through the transistors for the ESC installation.
• Mount the ESC to the chassis using double-sided tape .

PrOGrAmmInG ThE ESC
• With the transmitter throttle in the “Neutral” position, press and hold the speed controller’s
set up button until the green LED begins flashing, and then release the button.
The neutral position is now set.
• Move the transmitter throttle to the “ full throttle forward ” position.
The red LED will light up to indicate that full throttle is set.
• Move the transmitter throttle to the “ full brake & full reverse ” The red and green LEDs
will light up to indicate that the full brake & full reverse point is now set.
• Move the transmitter throttle to the neutral position for about 3 seconds.
The red & green LEDs will blink alternately for about 3 seconds.
Move the transmitter throttle to either full throttle or full reverse, then return to neutral.
The red LED will blink to indicate that the A.B.S braking system has been set.
• In order to erase the A.B.S braking system, run through the above steps in order, but leave
out moving the transmitter throttle while the red & green LEDs blink.
• After completion of the above, the green LED will light up to indicate that your speed
controller is now set up and ready to race.
IN CASE OF ANY PROBLEMS DURING PROGRAMMING, PLEASE TURN OFF THE ESC AND PROGRAM AGAIN !!!
hIGh-TEmPErATUrE SAFETy
CUT-OUT SySTEm
• In case the temperature of the ESC exceeds maximum ratings, the High-Temperature Safety
Cut-Out System will temporarily shut off power to the motor to prevent overheating damage
until it cools.
InSTALL On / OFF SWITCh
• Choose a convenient place to mount the switch using a piece of double-side tape.
TrAnSmITTEr ADJUSTmEnTS
In order to operate your ESC correctly, please adjust transmitter as follows;
• ATV, EPA, or ATL – set all to maximum.
• Throttle trims and sub trims – set all at neutral or zero.
InSTALL ESC
• Adjust your transmitter, and connect the ESC to the receiver.
• Make sure the ESC switch is turned “Off” before connecting the battery pack.
• Turn “On” the transmitter and then the ESC - in that order.
InSTALL rECEIVEr
• In order to prevent radio interference, please mount the receiver as far from the motor,
power wires, batteries, and servo as possible.
• In case of off-road cars, the receiver & antenna must be mounted on the rear shock tower
as mounting the receiver in the tub of the chassis can greatly reduce the range of your radio
and increase the possibility of radio interference.
• In case of the graphite chassis, please be sure to mount the receiver on edge with the crystal
and antenna as far away from the chassis as possible in order to reduce radio interference.

• This function is designed to adjust the rising time during initial starting to suit various
track conditions.
• With the transmitter throttle in the neutral position, press and hold the speed controller’s
set up button for three seconds. The green LED will blink, then the red LED will blink.
After that, release the set up button.
• After one second, the red LED will blink once. If you press and release the set up button
at this time, the “minimum” rising time has been set.
• After a further second, the red LED will blink twice. If you press and release the set up
button at this time, the “medium” rising time has been set.
• After a further second, the red LED will blink three times. If you press and release the
set up button at this time, the “maximum” rising time has been set.

• With the transmitter throttle in the neutral position, press and hold the speed controller’s set
up button for five seconds. The green & red LED will blink. Then, release the set up button
• After one second, the green & red LED will blink once. If you press and release the set up
button at this point, LiPo battery will be set.
• After a further second, the green & red LED will blink twice. If you press and release the
set up button now, NiCd & NiMH battery will be set.
This reverse delay function is designed to allow you to achieve the proper amount of brake
during racing and prevent accidental use of the reverse function. To enable the brake,
while the transmitter throttle is in the full forward position, if the throttle is moved to the
full reverse position, the brake should be activated. To enable the reverse function, while
the transmitter throttle is in the full forward position, move and keep the throttle in the
Neutral position for a while then move it back to the full reverse position.
