PlEASE READ All INSTRuCTIONS AND FAMIlIARIzE YOuRSElF WITh ThE PRODuCTS AND CONTROl BEFORE
OPERATION.
This product is not a toy. It is a high performance model product. It is important to familiarize yourself with the model, its
manual, and its construction before assembly and operation. Adult supervision is necessary
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury and property damage, operate all remotely controlled models in a responsive manner as out-
lined below.
R/C car models can exceed speeds of 40km/h (25mph), and cannot be stopped quickly.
❶ Never run R/C models on the street or highways, as it could cause or contribute to serious trac accidents.
❷ Never run an R/C model near people or animals, nor use people or animals as obstacles when operation R/C vehicles.
❸ To avoid injury to persons or animals, and damage to property, never run a R/C model in a confined or crowed area.
❹ Running R/C models into furniture or other inanimate objects will cause damage to the objects and the R/C models.
CAUTION DURING OPERATIONS
When the R/C model is in operation, dot not touch any of its moving parts, such as drive shafts, wheels, as the rotating parts
can cause serious injury.
❶ The vehicle motor gets very hot during running and could cause burns if touched.
❷ Make sure that no one else is using the same frequency as yours in your running area. Using the same frequency at the same
time, whether is driving, flying or sailing, can cause loss of control of the R/C models, resulting in serious accidents.
❸ Properly connect plugs. To prevent electrical shock and/or damage to the product resulting from a short-circuit; insulate
connections with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape. Before running vehicle, check that battery wiring and plugs are not so
loose as to drag on the ground. Properly secure cables using electrical tape or nylon tie-wraps.
❹ Sti rotation of gears, shafts, joints and wheels can burn out the motor. It’s recommended to check proper joint and shaft
rotation by using one 1,5V dry cell during assembly of the model.
A worn motor will overheat and result in a short running time. Replace a worn out motor as soon as possible.
❺ R/C models will run out of control when either the receiver or transmitter battery voltage drops o. Stop the vehicle
immediately when the car starts to show down to prevent it from running out of control.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Follow the outlined rules for safe radio control operation.
Avoid running the car in crowed area and near small children.
Make sure that no one else is using the same frequency in your running area. Using the same frequency at the same time can
cause serious accidents, whether it’s driving, flying or sailing.
Avoid running in standing water and rain. If R/C unit, motor, or battery get wet, clean and dry throughly in a dry shaded area.
R/C operating procedures
❶ Make sure the transmitter controls and trims are in neutral. Switch on transmitter.
❷ Switch on receiver.
❸ Inspect operation using transmitter before running.
❹ Adjust steering servo and trim so that the model runs straight with transmitter in neutral.
❺ Reverse sequence to shut down after running.
❻ Make sure to disconnect/remove all batteries.
❼ Completely remove sand, mud, dirt etc
❽ Store the car and batteries separately when not in use
SETTING UP THE MODEL
To greatly enhance the overall performance of your car, it’s necessary to tune the vehicle to the track (and its surface
conditions) on which you will be racing. Make adjustments referring to the instruction manual, keeping in mind that “balance” is
the key word.
❶ Tires
Tires have a great influence on the performance of your car, and are normally the first components tuned. Select the right tires
for the track you are racing on.
❷ Toe-in and Toe-out
Adjusting the car toe-in a little, by pointing the wheel inwards, provides the car with good straight running and moderate
steering characteristics. Toe-out, which point the wheels outwards, gives sharp and crisp steering. Take care not to overdo.
❸ Camber angle
While taking the corners, the car is forced to go outwards, causing instability. The area of contact on each tire is determined
by the camber angle, and therefore the traction of the tires can be made greater or lesser by adjustment of camber angle. To
increase traction during cornering, adjust camber angle negative, and reduce traction, adjust for positive camber.
❹ Ground clearance and suspension drop
Ground clearance and/or rebound stroke has a great eect on stability during cornering, acceleration, and braking. Ground
clearance can be adjusted by altering damper spring tension and stiness.
❺ Gear ratio
Proper gear ratio should be determined by the available output power of the motor; type of battery; track condition and layout
It should be also noted that running the car on a good grip surface suggests use of pinion gear 1 teeth smaller, in order to
eectively use all of the available battery power.

ABOUT THE RADIO SYSTEM
Reversing is used to change the response direction of steering
wheel and throttle trigger.
KT3S+ Transmitter features 2 reversing functions: Steering Reverse
and Throttle Reverse.
Steering Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating
steering wheel.
Turning left steering wheel, the model turns right while turning
right the model turns left.
Throttle Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating
throttle trigger.
Pushing forward throttle trigger the model moves backward while
pulling back, the model moves forward.
Adjustable Steering Rate enables to adjust the same maximum steering angle of servo on both sides (Left and Right) when
model makes steering. The Adjustable Steering Rate aects the sensitivity of servo. Reducing dual rate value can lower the
sensitivity of servo and reduce the same maximum steering angle on both sides. Remember to adjust the dual rate value within
the adjustment range: rotate clockwise = increase maximum steering angle; rotate counterclockwise = reduce maximum
steering angle.
The minimum adjustment of ATV (counterclockwise to the max) makes a zero steering angle.
KT3S+ features two trimming
functions:
Steering Trim and Throttle Trim.
Steering Trim Dial: Adjust the
neutral position of steering servo
when the wheels are straight
ahead.
Normally steering trim is adjusted
until the model can keep straight
tracks.
Throttle Trim Dial:
Adjust neutral position of throttle servo. Make sure the model
stays still when releasing the throttle trigger.

PROGRAMMING THE END-POINTS
In order to avoid mechanical strain when steering to the maximum and/or accelerating and braking (nitro), an EPA function
(End Point Adjusment) can be digitally set. However ATV function can be used for steering end points, but on the left & right
together.
If you really want to use EPA function, please read the following instructions carefully:
1. Steering servo
a) Transmitter and receiver powered on (green LED on), turn the steering wheel to the maximum (on the side you want to set),
then hold down for 2 seconds the «BIND/EPA» button: LED turns solid red.
b) As long as LED is red, you can set the exact maximum turning angle of the wheels on the side you choose.
Once the angle is chosen, hold down again for 2 seconds the «BIND/EPA» button. LED flashes twice (light green/dark green)
then turns solid green.
IMPORTANT: Switch OFF and ON the transmitter to confirm the adjustment.
c) To reset the default value, follow a) step, then b) step, hold the steering wheel to the maximum and hold down for 2 seconds
the «BIND/EPA» button. LED flashes twice (light green/dark green) then turns solid green. IMPORTANT: Switch OFF and ON the
transmitter to confirm the adjustment.
To set the opposite side, follow a) and b) steps in the opposite side.
It is very important to perform these operations one by one.
2. Throttle servo (EPA is recommended only for nitro vehicles)
a) Transmitter and receiver powered on (green LED on), hold the throttle at forward-most position, then hold down for 2
seconds the «BIND/EPA» button: LED turns solid red.
b) As long as LED is red, you can set the exact your max throttle end-point.
Once the end-point is chosen, hold down again for 2 seconds the «BIND/EPA» button. LED flashes twice (light green/dark
green) then turns solid green.
IMPORTANT: Switch OFF and ON the transmitter to confirm the adjustment.
c) To reset the default value, follow a) step, then in b) step, hold the throttle at forward-most position, then hold down for 2
seconds the «BIND/EPA». LED flashes twice (light green/dark green) then turns solid green.
IMPORTANT: Switch OFF and ON the transmitter to confirm the adjustment.
To set the brake, follow a) step, then b) step braking to the maximum. You can now set your maximum brake end-point.
It is very important to perform these operations one by one.

WARNINGS
• To avoid short circuits, ensure that all wires & connections must be well insulated and there is no issue like poor contact, sold joint exists
before connecting the ESC to related devices.
• Read through the manuals of all power devices and chassis and ensure the power configuration is rational before using this unit.
• To avoid accidents, we strongly recommend holding the vehicle in the air during the connecting and adjusting process.
• Stop immediate usage once the casing of the ESC exceeds 90°C/194°F as this may cause damages to both the ESC and motor.
• Users must always disconnect the batteries after use as the current on the ESC is consuming continuously if it’s connected to the batteries
(even if the ESC is turned o). The battery will completely be discharged and may result in damage to the battery or ESC when it’s connected
for a long period of time. This WILL NOT be covered under warranty.
FEATURES
1. Fully waterproof and dustproof for all weather conditions. (Note: please clean and dry it after use for avoiding rusty connectors.)
2. New algorithm, specially programmed for cars & boats, guarantees excellent throttle linearity, brake linearity and control performance.
3. Features adjustable drag brake (0% and 100%), you can adjust it by yourself as per the terrains, personal preference and etc. 100% drag brake is
applicable to crawlers, the 0% drag brake is applicable to boats.
4. Built-in switch-mode BEC with cont. /peak current of 3A/6A for usage with most servos on the market.
5. Multiple protections: low-voltage cuto protection, thermal protection, throttle signal loss protection, and motor lock-up protection.

BEGIN TO USE
Step 1. Connect all the devices (as shown above) as per the motor you are using, and recheck all the connections before moving to the next step.
Notes: 1. swap the two wires from motor to ESC if you find the motor runs in reverse.
Step 2: Set the Throttle Range
This ESC can automatically recognize the neutral position of the transmitter, but you need to follow the following steps.
1) Turn on the transmitter and move the throttle stick/trigger to the neutral position.
2) With the ESC powered o, connect the motor, battery and other devices to it.
3) Turn on the ESC, when setting the “Battery Type” to “ LiPo”, the motor will beep two short beeps if you are using a 2S LiPo, three short beeps if
you are using a 3S LiPo. If setting the “Battery Type” to “NiMH”, the motor will beep one short beep, and a long beep 1 second later to indicate the
self detection is over and it’s ready to function.
Attention!
1. After turning on the ESC, you must wait (about 3 seconds) till the self detection completes. Otherwise, it may not function normally.
2. After turning on the ESC, if there is no power output and the Red LED flashes rapidly, then it means the actual throttle of the transmitter is not
at the neutral position. In that case, please check if the “Throttle Trim” of the transmitter is at the “0” position, fine tune the throttle neutral position
till the Red LED stops flashing.
3. To avoid any possible trouble, please always turn on the transmitter first and the ESC last; turn o the ESC first and the transmitter last.
Step 3: The motor can function normally after the wiring & setting completes. The Red LED flashes in the following ways during the running.
1. The Red LED dies out when the throttle trigger is in throttle neutral zone.
2. The Red LED flashes rapidly when your vehicle runs forward and it turns solid Red when you pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle endpoint.
3. The Red LED flashes rapidly when your vehicle runs backward and it turns solid Red when you push the throttle trigger to the full brake endpoint.

ESC PROGRAMMING
The ESC has two programmable items, you can easily program them via jumper caps (as explained and shown below).
The first row is “Drag Brake”, connecting one jumper cap
to the two pins on the left will allow you to have 100% drag
brake; connecting it to the two pins on the right will allow
you to have 0% drag bake. The drag brake is 100% by default.
Note: 100% drag brake are applicable to crawlers, 0% drag
brake is applicable to boats, you can adjust it as per the
actual condition. When setting the “Drag Brake” to 100%, the
“Maximum Reverse Force” will be 100%, when setting to “0%”,
the “Maximum Reverse Force” will be 25%.
The second row is “Battery Type”, connect the other jumper
cap to the two pins on the left when you’re using a LiPo pack,
and connect it to the two pins on the right when you’re using
a NiMH pack. The “Battery Type” is “LiPo” by default, you can adjust it as per the actual condition.
PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
1. Low-voltage Cuto Protection
When the “Battery Type” is set to “LiPo”, the cuto voltage for one cell is 3.2V. That means when you’re using a 2S LiPo, the cuto voltage for the
pack will be 6.4V; the cuto voltage for the pack will be 9.6V when you’re using a 3S LiPo. When the “Battery Type” is set to “NiMH”, the cuto
voltage (for the pack) is 4.5V.
The ESC will have the output when it detects the battery voltage has reached the threshold for 2 seconds, and cut o the output 2 seconds later. It
will resume the 50% output when the throttle trigger is released to the neutral position, cut o the output 2 seconds later, resume the 50% output
(when the throttle trigger is released to the neutral position), and then cut o the output 2 seconds later, ......this will continue (unless the battery is
removed or changed). The Red LED flashes a single flash that repeats when the LVC protection is activated. Please try to charge the pack or change
another one when the protection is activated, as long-time usage will cause the pack to over-discharge and be damaged.
Note: please check if you’ve set the “Battery Type” properly when the low-voltage cuto protection can easily get activated. If you’ve set the
“Battery Type” correctly, then the issue is probably caused by the poor discharge capability of the battery. In that case, please try with a battery with
better discharge capacity to see if the problem can be solved.
2. Thermal Protection
The ESC will directly cut o the output and the Red LED will flash a double flash that repeats when its internal temperature reaches the value
(105°C/221°F) preset by the factory. You can use it again when the ESC temperature gets below 60°C/140°F.
Note: if the thermal protection can easily be activated, then the issue in general is caused by improper configuration. That’s the ESC cannot meet
the demand of the vehicle. In that case, please reduce the vehicle’s load or change another ESC with higher continuous current.
3. Throttle Signal Loss Protection
The ESC will immediately cut o the output and the Red LED flashes rapidly when it detects that the throttle signals have been lost for 0.1 second.
Note: because the ESC works based on the throttle signals received from the transmitter, so its performance (after losing throttle signals) is closely
related to the setting of your transmitter.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLÈME RAISON POSSIBLE SOLUTION
The ESC was unable to start the status LED
and the motor after it was powered on
No power was supplied to the ESC. Check if all ESC & battery joints or connections have
been well soldered or firmly connected
The ESC switch was damaged. Replace the switch
The ESC was unable to start the motor but
the Red LED flashed rapidly after it was
powered on.
The neutral position on the transmitter was moved or
changed.
Re-calibrate the throttle range or fine tune the throttle
trim to make the neutral position on the transmitter match
the existing neutral position of the ESC.
The throttle control cable was reversely plugged in. Check if the throttle cable has been reversely plugged in.
The vehicle ran backward when you pulled
the throttle trigger towards you. The motor-to-ESC wiring order was incorrect. Swap the two wires from motor to ESC.
The motor suddenly stopped spinning in
operation.
The throttle signals were lost. Check the transmitter and the receiver.
The LVC protection or the thermal protection was
activated.
The Red LED would flash a single flash repeatedly. Please
check the battery voltage and the ESC temperature.
The motor accelerated suddenly, stuttered or
stopped during the starting-up process.
The discharge capacity of the pack was insucient. Change another pack with better discharge capability.
The RPM was too high, the gear ratio or FDR was
improper.
Change another motor with lower RPM or increase the
gear ratio or FDR.
