2. INSTALLATION TIPS
•
Mount
the speed-control
using the supplied thick/black doubled-sided tape
.
• Position the speed-control where it is protected in the event of a crash.
• Install the speed-control so that you have easy access to the connector and buttons.
•
Make sure there is enough clearance (about 3cm) between the speed-control, power-
wires
, antenna and
receiver
.
Avoid any
direct contact between power components, the receiver or the antenna. This can cause
interference. If interference occurs, position the components at a different place in the model.
• The aerial should be run vertically up and away from the receiver. Avoid contact with any parts made of
carbon fibre
or metal. If the aerial is too long, don’t coil up the excess length. It is better to cut it down to a
length of about 35 cm. See also the instructions supplied with your radio control system.
• Make sure there are enough cooling slits in the body. This will increase the performance and life of all the
electronic
components.
3. CONNECTIONS
RECEIVER CONNECTING WIRE:
This
LRP
speed-control is equipped with a LRP Multicon
receiver
wire. As supplied, it will easily fit in all ordi-
nary receivers.
POWER W
IRES
:
The
QUANTUM SPORT 2 series
speed-control
s
come pre-wired using common
„
Tamiya-/JST style“ battery and
motor connectors. Together with a motor and a pre-assembled battery-pack from LRPs selection of motors and
battery packs, the speed-control can be used instantly without the need of a solder iron
.
You can also solder the power wires of the speed-control directly to the motor, if you do not want to use the
supplied plugs.
Nevertheless some soldering s
kills are still required.
However plea
se note, that your warranty
may void if you cut-off the
plugs
.
Therefore we recommend using the original power-wires and plugs.

TRANSMITTER SETTINGS
Setup the following basic functions on your transmitter (if available):
If your transmitter doesn‘t offer any of above functions, it‘s already in „basic setup“ mode.
• En
sure that the speed-control is not connected to the drive battery and is switched off.
•
Remove motor pinion or ensure that the wheel
s of the model are free to rotate.
•
Switch the transmitter on and set the transmitter throttle stick to neutral.
•
Connect
the speed
-control to the battery and
switch the unit on.
•
Hold the SET button p
ressed for at least 3sec using the supplied plastic screwdriver.
You entere
d setup mode and the lower SET-

will flash until the
setup is comp
le-
ted).
•
Leave transmitter in neutral position
and press the SET button once.
Neutral setting is stored
.
•
Hold fu
ll throttle on transmitter
and press the SET button once.
Full-throttle setting is stored
.
•
Hold fu
ll brake on transmitter
and press the SET button once.
Bra
ke setting is stored
.
•
This completes the setup pro
cedure and your
QUANTUM SPORT 2 series
speed-control
is ready to us
e.
• If you have made a mistake so far, don’t worry: Switch off the speed-control for about 10 seconds and
start
over again.
• After the run, first switch off the speed-control, unplug the battery and then switch off the transmitter.
When you start
again, first switch on the transmitter, then plug in the battery and switch on the speed-
control.
•
Alwa
ys disconnect the drive battery from the speed-co
ntrol, if you are not using your model.

4. SUPPRESSION
Motors with no capacitors or not enough ca-
pacitors may interfere with the speed-control.
To avoid this, solder the supplied capacitors to
your motor (see picture).
The Schottky diode improves the efficiency of the speed-control/motor combination and provides extra protec-
tion to the brake FETs. Solder the diode in place as shown in the illustration. The white ring must always face
the positive motor terminal.

6. SPECIAL FEATURES
Forward/Brake
:
U
ncompromising and outstanding performance
for
top level competition
was the target!
Therefore the
LRP engineering team
develop
ed
a pure forward/brake
co
mpetition
speed
-
control without re-
verse function.
APC-2 Adjustable Power Control:
It is very easy to loose control of a model car on a slippery track surface if
you are running a powerful motor. The adjustable power control provides the solution. The unique LRP APC-2
(Adjustable Power Control) effectively prevents unwanted spins and slides, improves vehicle control and thus
improves your lap times and extends running times.
Adjusting the APC-2 system:
• For maximum power - rotate the power potentiometer carefully to the right-hand stop using the plastic
screwdriver supplied.
• If your car tends to spin - you need slightly less power when accelerating. Rotate the power potentiometer
to the left until you can control your car during acceleration.
• If your car has a powerful motor and your speed control switches into temperature protection (overload
protection) - rotate the power potentiometer about 1/3 of a turn to the left.
NOTE:
The APC-2 function has no effect on the car’s maximum speed.
Mu
lti-Protection System, 3-way protection:
T
he perfect protection against short-circuits (motor), overload and overheating. If your speed-control faces one
of these problems, the motor function will be shut-off for protection and the LED will flash. The steering function
will be maintained. Let everything cool down for a few minutes.
If the speed-control switches off frequently, either the used motor is too strong, the motor pinion is too big or
you are using full brake too often. You can improve this if you make additional cooling slots in the body.
Improved Brake Feel:
All the
QUANTUM SPORT 2 series
speed controls feature a fully proportional EMF brake which can be applied
very smoothly to maintain good grip on slippery surfaces. Thanks to the Advanced Digital technology, it was
possible to improve the brake feel of the
QUANTUM SPORT 2 series
series speed controls
even more.
Advantages:
• Smooth, proportional braking
• Superior braking power
• Battery recharge during braking
If the braking power is too strong for your driving style and conditions, you can reduce it by adjusting servo
travel at the transmitter.
