Connecting the Battery
The MSC-12L comes pre-wired with an EC3 connector. Use battery
packs from 4-cell (4.8-volt) to 7-cell (8.4-volt) sub-C size battery packs
or with 2S LiPo packs (7.4-volt).
1. Be sure the on/off switch is in the "off" position.
2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the speed control's
battery connector.

Adjusting the Transmitter
1. Set the "throttle reversing" switch to the NORMAL position.
2. Set the "throttle trim" to the CENTER position.
Speed Control Programming
Note: While in the programming mode, no power is applied to
the motor.
Battery Selection: When the ESC is powered on, the LED will be
flashing for 2 seconds to indicate the Selected Battery Type. During this
time the user can press the key to toggle between LiPo and NiMH/NiCd
modes. After the key has been pressed (battery type selected), the LED
will flash for 2 more seconds.
A. Turn on ESC and push button once within 2 seconds, push again to
toggle between modes.
B. Red light indicates LiPo mode (with 6-volt cutoff).
C. Green light indicates NiMH/NiCd mode.
One-Touch Endpoint Setup
Note: Please be sure to set all throttle trim settings to neutral
before performing an endpoint setup.
A. Hold button and turn on ESC until the Red/Green light comes on.
Once on, release button.
B. Pull trigger to full throttle position until the green light goes from
flashing to solid. Once solid, your forward endpoint is now set.
C. To set reverse endpoint, push the trigger into the full reverse
position until the flashing red light turns solid. At this point your
reverse/brake endpoint is now set.
D. Return trigger to neutral setting. The green light will now be solid
and you are ready to go!
Selecting Speed Controller Modes
To change modes on your MSC-12L hold the setup key for over
5 seconds while in neutral. Once you find desired mode, simply release
the key and you are ready for action.
Forward/Reverse mode—Solid Green LED
Forward Only mode—Fast Flashing Green LED
Practice mode—Slow Flashing Green LED
Crawler mode*—Solid Green and Red LED
*NOTICE: Crawler mode is for use in rock crawling vehicles only.
Do not use this mode with your 1/10 XXX-SCT. Doing so
may damage the vehicle.
