Installing your ESC
Positioning of your ESC in the model
Mount the ESC as far away as possible from the receiver, using double
sided tape or velcro.
Keep the thick power wires away from the antenna and other thin wires to
avoid interference problems (see illustration for example install).
The antenna should come straight out of the receiver into the antenna tube
and up out of the model. Do not attempt to use any part of the model as
an antenna!
Wiring up of your ESC in model (see illustration)
The ESCs are supplied with Tamiya style plug and bullet connectors at the
factory. (Some of the higher powered versions come fitted with solder posts
and loose wires.)
Colour coding for the wires is as follows:
Receiver lead connections
The receiver lead on the ESC is the JR type, see chart below. For some
receivers you may need to swap the red and brown wires in the plug.

FUTABA, SANWA, KO
HI­TEC
JR, GRAUPNER, KYOSHO
ACOMS
AIRTRONICS
CAUTION! If using an external receiver
battery, you must remove the red wire
from the ESC's receiver lead first. If using
more than one ESC in your model with
an external receiver battery, you must
disconnect the red wire from ALL ESC's.

Set-up
Before beginning set­up you need to connect up your ESC as in the
illustration. (When plugging the ESC's receiver lead into the receiver make
sure that the signal wire – orange – is facing inwards).
Calibrating the ESC to your transmitter
1. Switch on your transmitter ensuring the throttle control and throttle
trim are in the neutral position.
NOTE: If you have removed the factory fitted battery connector,
(see warranty) ensure polarity is correct.
2. Plug your ESC into your battery pack and turn the ESC on with the on/
off switch. The red, green and blue LED's will flash for 2 seconds (This
is the set­up window, if you press the button once whilst the LED's are
Instructions Car Speed Controller
The ESC should be positioned to allow cooling air to pass over the heatsink,
this reduces the risk of over­temperature shutdown.
Make sure your motor is fitted with two (2) motor capacitors (0.1 µF) – one
from the negative terminal to the can and one from the positive terminal
to the can.

flashing you enter setup, if you let the LED's flash for 2 seconds then
stop, the ESC will operate with previously set values).
3. With the LED's flashing, press the set button once, this will set your
neutral position, the green LED will light.
4. Push the throttle control to the full forward position, then return to the
neutral position (This has set maximum forward speed point, the red
LED will light).
5. With the red LED lit, pull the throttle control to the full brake/reverse
position, then return to the neutral position. (This has set the maximum
brake/reverse point). The ESC will light the LEDs to show it is in the
neutral position. The ESC is now ready to use.
