ESC Operation
Thanks for purchasing our electronic speed controller(ESC). The power system for RC model
can be very dangerous, please read this manual carefully. In that we have no control over
the correct use, installation, application, or maintenance of our products, no liability shall be
assumed nor accepted for any damages, losses or costs resulting from the use of the product.
FEATURES:
• Water-proof and dust-proof for all weather races.
• Small size with built-in capacitor module.
• Automatic throttle range calibration, easy to use.
• Multiple protections: Low voltage cut-off protection for Lipo or NiMH battery /
Over-heat protection / Throttle signal loss protection.
• Easily programmed with the jumpers.
WP-1040-BRUSHED
SPECIFICATION
Forward: 40A / 180A
* There are 2 kinds of WP-1040-BRUSHED-Crawler& Boat speed controllers, one has 1 output Backward: 20A / 90A
for 1 motor, and the other one has 2 outputs for 2 motors (2 motors work synchronously).
2-3S Lipo, 5-9 Cells NiMH
** The WP-860-DUAL BRUSHED has 2 outputs to drive 2 motors synchronously. When driving 2

Not Available
1. Connect the ESC, motor, receiver, battery and servo according to the following diagram:
Fwd: 0.003 Ohm, Bwd: 0.003 Ohm
"+" and "-" wires of the ESC are connected to the battery pack.
1A/6V(Linear mode BEC)
Attention: The incorrect polarity will damage the ESC immediately.
The control cable of the ESC (trio wires with black, red and white color) is connected to
34mm*24mm*14mm, 23.5g
the throttle channel of the receiver (Usually CH2). The "Motor +" and "Motor –" wires are
connected to ESC without any order.
If the motor runs in the opposite direction, please swap these two wire connections.
2. Set the Transmitter
Please set the "D/R", "EPA" and "ATL" to 100% for throttle channel (for transmitter without
LCD, please turn the knobs to the maximum value), and set the "TRIM" of the throttle channel
to 0 (for transmitter without LCD, please turn the TRIM knob to its neutral position).
For FutabaTM and the similar transmitters, the direction of throttle
channel shall be set to "REV", while other radio systems shall be set to "NOR".
The "Fail Save" function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated. Please
make sure that the motor can be stopped when the "Fail Save" happens.
3. Throttle Range Setting (Throttle Range Calibration)
In order to make the ESC match the throttle range of different transmitters, the calibration of
the ESC is necessary.
To calibrate the ESC, please turn on the transmitter, keep throttle stick at its neutral position,
wait for 3 seconds to let the ESC execute self-test and automatic throttle calibration. When the
ESC is ready to run, a long beep sound is emitted from the motor.
Note: Please calibrate the throttle range again when using a new transmitter or changing the
settings of the neutral position of throttle channel, D/R, ATV, ATL or EPA parameters,otherwise
the ESC may not work properly.

threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will enter the protection mode.
When the car stops, the red LED blinks to indicate the low voltage cut-off protection has been
activated.
