Hobby-Wing QuicRun WP-16BL30 User manual
In order to make sure the ESC fits the throttle range of your transmitter, you must calibrate it when begin to use a new ESC, or a used transmitter if some of its settings have been changed,
like the Throttle Trim, D/R, EPA or other parameters. Otherwise, the ESC cannot work properly. Besides, we strongly recommend users to enable the “failsafe” function of the transmitter, set
the “F/S” of the throttle channel to the Shutdown mode or set the protection value to the neutral position, so the car can be stopped if the receiver fails to get the radio signals from the
transmitter. Please calibrate the throttle range according to the following steps.

“Beep—” tone to represent “5”, so it is easy to identify the items of the big
number.
For example, if the LED flashes as the following:
“A long time flash + 1 short time flash” (Motor sounds “B—B”) = the No. 6 item
“A long time flash + 2 short time flash” (Motor sounds “B—BB”) = the No. 7 item
“A long time flash + 3 short time flash” (Motor sounds “B—BBB”) = the No. 8 item,
and so on.
The Program Card is optional equipment which
needs to be purchased separately. It has 3 digital
LEDs to display the programmable items’ number
and the options’ number.
(Please refer to the user manual of the program card
for detail info)

Explanation for the Beep Sound
In normal case, when the ESC is switched on, the motor will emit several “Beep” tones to express the cell count of the battery pack. For example, “Beep-Beep-” means 2S LiPo,
“Beep-Beep-Beep-” means 3S LiPo, “Beep-Beep-Beep- Beep-” means 4S LiPo.

Trouble Shooting
Trouble(s) Solution(s)Possible Causes
No battery voltage is input to the ESC. The switch of the ESC is damaged
The voltage of the battery pack is not in the normal range,
it’s too high or too low.
The throttle signal wire is oppositely inserted or into the incorrect channel.
The wire connections between the ESC and the motor need to be changed.
Low voltage cutoff protection (Red LED blinks)
Overheat protection (Green LED blinks)
The throttle neutral point drifts to the brake area.
The connections between motor and ESC are not reliable.
The ESC is damaged.
Check the connections between the battery and the ESC, re-solder the connectors if needed.
Change the switch.
Check the voltage of the battery pack.
Plug the signal wire (Rx lead) correctly into the throttle channel (usually Channel #2) of the receiver.
Swap any two wire connections between the ESC and the motor.
#HECKTHEBATTERYVOLTAGE)FSTILLHASSOMECAPACITYLOWERTHECUTOFFTHRESHOLDVOLTAGE
if not, replace a new battery.
Wait several minutes to cool the ESC. Increase the gear ratio or the T number (Turns) of the motor.
Calibrate the throttle neutral point again to ensure that no LED lights when the throttle stick is
at the neutral position.
Check all the solder joints and ensure they are well soldered. Check connectors.
Contact the distributor for after-sales service.
After power on, motor doesn’t work but emits “beep-beep-, beep-beep-”
alert tone. (there’s 1 second pause between 2 “beep-beep-”).
After power on, the Red LED turns solid red but the motor doesn’t work.
Turn on the switch, no LED lights up, and neither the motor nor fan works.
The car runs backwards when accelerating forward on radio.
The motor stutters, and cannot start up.
The vehicle can go forward but cannot reverse.
The car suddenly slows down, then stops about 15 seconds later.

Note 1: Fwd=Forward, Rev=Reverse, Brk=Brake
Note 2: When set to the “Auto-identification” mode, the battery pack can only be identified as 2S, 4S and 6S Lipo. Because the
normal voltage of each LiPo cell varies from 2.6V to 4.2V, it’s not easy to correctly calculate the cell count of a discharged LiPo
battery pack. Therefore, we strongly suggest you set the “LiPo Cells” manually.
1. Running Mode:7ITHh&ORWARDWITH"RAKEvMODETHECARCANGOFORWARDANDBRAKEBUTCANNOTGOBACKWARDTHISMODEISSUITABLEFORCOMPETITIONh&ORWARD2EVERSEWITH"RAKEvMODEPROVIDESBACKWARDFUNCTIONWHICHISSUITABLEFORDAILYTRAINING
Note: “Forward/Reverse with Brake” mode 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 1st “click”), the ESC begins to brake the motor,
the motor speeds down but it is still running, not completely stopped, so the backward action is NOT happened immediately. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again (The 2nd “click”), if the motor speed is slowed down to
zero, then the backward action will happen. The “Double-Click” method can prevent mistakenly reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in steering. By the way, in the process of braking or reversing, if the throttle stick is
moved to forward zone, the motor will run forward at once. “Forward/Reverse” mode uses “single-click” method to make the car reverse. When moving the throttle stick from neutral zone to backward zone, the vehicle reverses immediately,
so this mode is usually used in rock crawling.
2. Drag Brake Force: Set the amount of drag brake applied at neutral throttle to simulate the slight braking effect of a neutral brushed motor while coasting.
3. Low Voltage Cut-Off:4HEFUNCTIONMAINLYPREVENTSTHE,IPOBATTERYFROMOVERDISCHARGING4HE%3#DETECTSTHEBATTERYVOLTAGEATANYTIMEIFTHEVOLTAGEISLOWERTHANTHETHRESHOLDFORSECONDSTHEOUTPUTPOWERWILLBEREDUCED
after 15 seconds the output power will be completely shut off and the red LED flashes in such a way: “☆-, ☆-, ☆-”. Please stop your car at the track side as soon as possible to avoid obstructing other racing cars.
Note: For NiMH battery, if the voltage of the whole NiMH battery pack is higher than 9.0V, it will be considered as a 3 cells Lipo battery pack; If it is lower than 9.0V, it will be considered as a 2 cells Lipo battery pack. For example, if a NiMH battery
pack is 8.0V, and the threshold is set to 2.6V/Cell, so it will be considered as a 2 cells Lipo battery pack, and the low-voltage cut-off threshold for this NiMH battery pack is 2.6x2=5.2V.
4. Start Mode (Also called “Punch” or “Acceleration”): Level 1 has very soft start acceleration, while level 9 has very quick start acceleration. From Level 1 to Level 9, the start force is increasing. If you choose “Level 7” to “Level 9”, you should use good
quality battery with powerful discharge ability, otherwise you cannot get the burst start effect as you want. If the motor cannot run smoothly (the motor is cogging), sometimes it is caused by the weak discharge ability, please use a better
battery or increase the gear ratio.
5. Maximum Brake Force: The ESC provides proportional brake function. The brake force is related to the position of the throttle stick. Maximum brake force refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the top point of the backward
zone. A very large brake force can shorten the brake time, but it may damage the gears.
6. Maximum Reverse Force: Sets how much power will be applied in the reverse direction.
7. Initial Brake Force: It is also called “minimum brake force”, which refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the initial position of the backward zone. The default value is equal to the drag brake force, so the brake action can be very smoothly.
8. Throttle Neutral Range: This setting adjusts the width of the neutral range.
9. Timing: This function can be used to fine-tune the output power of the motor, the bigger the timing, the faster the motor runs or the larger output power of the motor. As the Boost Timing technology has been introduced into this ESC, so
under the sensored mode, adjust the ESC timing can greatly increase the motor RPM. Therefore, please remember to enlarge the gear ratio of the chassis and carefully check temperatures of the motor and the ESC after increasing the timing.
10. Over-Heat Protection: If this function is activated, the output power will be cut off when the temperature is higher than the factory-preset value for 5 seconds. When the protection happens, the Green LED will flash in such a way “☆-, ☆-, ☆-” .

Reset All Items to Default Values
At any time when the throttle is located in neutral zone (except in the throttle calibration or parameters program process), press and hold the “SET” key for over 3 seconds, the red LED and green LED will flash
simultaneously , which means each programmable item has be reset to its default value. The ESC needs to be restarted to complete the reset process.
Click the SET button to choose the
option, the times the red LED
blinks indicates the option number
you are going to select.
After entering the
corresponding item, the
red LED starts to blink,
