User Manual of QUICRUN Series Sensored Brushless Speed Controller HW-SM301DUL-20131007 Page 1
Introduction
Congratulations and thanks for purchasing the QUICRUN series electronic speed controller (ESC). The power
system for RC model can be very dangerous, so please read this manual carefully. Since we have no control
over the installation, application, use or maintenance of this product, in no case shall we be liable for any
damages, losses or costs.
Features
 High performance but low price, users can own this reliable race-ready ESC at an affordable cost.
 Compact size, suitable for various car chassis.
 Auto identification system can recognize sensored / sensorless brushless motors automatically.
 Excellent operating feelings and plentiful adjustment options, suitable for most kinds of competitions.
 8 steps of timing adjustment greatly increase the output power of the motor, and unlock its maximum potential.
 Proportional brake with 4 steps of Maximum Brake Force adjustment, 8 steps of Drag Brake Force adjustment and 4 steps of Initial
Brake Force adjustment.
 9 steps of acceleration (punch) adjustment, from “soft” to “very aggressive” to fit for different kinds of cars, tires and
tracks.
 Multiple protections: Low voltage cut-off protection for Lipo or NiMH battery / Over-heat protection / Throttle signal loss protection /
Motor Lock-up protection.
 One-button (the “SET” button on the ESC) to set the ESC, and easy to reset all parameters to the factory default settings.
 Compatible with the optional device ---- the portable Digital LED Program Card, especially convenient for outdoor use.
Specifications
Note 1: “T” indicates the limit value of motor turns when the ESC timing is set to 0. The larger the timing, the more turns the motor needs.
Please pay close attention to temperatures of the motor and the ESC to avoid any damage to these two equipments.
Begin to Use the New ESC
Step 1: Connect the battery, servo, receiver, ESC and motor according to the wiring diagram below, recheck all the connections
before entering the next step.
Step 2: Set the Throttle Range
In order to make sure the ESC fits the throttle range of your transmitter, you must calibrate it when begin to use a new ESC, or a used
transmitter if some of its settings have been changed, like the Throttle Trim, D/R, EPA or other parameters. Otherwise, the ESC cannot work
properly. Besides, we strongly recommend users to enable the “failsafe” function of the transmitter, set the “F/S” of the throttle channel to the
Shutdown mode or set the protection value to the neutral position, so the car can be stopped if the receiver fails to get the radio signals from
the transmitter. Please calibrate the throttle range according to the following steps.
Step 3: Check the LED Status in Normal Running
1) In general, if the throttle stick is in the neutral range, neither the Red LED nor the Green LED lights.
2) The red LED solidly lights when the car is running forward or backward and it will blink quickly when the car is braking.
3) The Green LED solidly lights when the throttle stick is located at the top point of the forward zone (that means full throttle is applied).
Troubleshooting
Trouble(s)
Possible Causes
Solution(s)
Turn on the switch, no LED lights
up, and neither the motor nor fan
works.
No battery voltage is input to the
ESC.
The switch of the ESC is damaged
Check the connections between the battery and the ESC,
re-solder the connectors if needed.
Change the switch.
After power on, motor doesn’t
work but emits “beep-beep-,
beep-beep-” alert tone. (there’s
1-second pause between 2
“beep-beep-”).
The voltage of the battery pack is
not in the normal range, it’s too high
or too low.
Check the voltage of the battery pack.
After power on, the Red LED turns
solid red but the motor doesn’t
work.
The throttle signal wire is oppositely
inserted or into the incorrect
channel.
Plug the signal wire (Rx lead) correctly into the throttle
channel (usually Channel #2) of the receiver.
The car runs backwards when
accelerating forward on radio.
The wire connections between the
ESC and the motor need to be
changed.
The chassis is not suitable for this
ESC
Swap any two wire connections between the ESC and the
motor. (Note: This method is ONLY available for
SENSORLESS motor )
Please don't use the ESC for this special chassis.
The car suddenly slows down,
then stops about 15 seconds later.
Low voltage cutoff protection (Red
LED blinks)
Overheat protection (Green LED
blinks)
Check the battery voltage. If still has some capacity, lower
the cut-off threshold voltage; if not, replace a new battery.
Wait several minutes to cool the ESC. Increase the gear
ratio or the T number (Turns) of the motor.
The motor stuttering under heavy
acceleration.
Low battery discharge rate.
The motor RPM is too high (i.e. the
motor runs too fast), and the gear
ratio is too small.
The “Punch” setting is too high.
Use a battery pack with better discharge ability.
Use a low-speed motor, or increase the gear ratio.
Set the acceleration (punch) to the softer mode.

1 Turn on the transmitter, and set parameters
(of the throttle channel) like “D/R, “EPA”,
“ATL” to 100% (if there is no LCD display on
the transmitter, please adjust the
corresponding knob to its limit). Set the
throttle trim to 0 (if there is no display, then
adjust the knob to the neutral position). For
FUTABA
TM
and similar transmitters, set the
throttle direction to “REV”, while the throttle
direction of others to “NOR”. Please disable
the built-in ABS brake function in your
transmitter.
2 Hold the SET button while sliding the switch
to the ON position, and then release the
“SET” button the moment when the Red
LED starts to blink. (If you don’t release the
SET button in 3 seconds, the ESC will enter
the program mode, in such a case, please
switch off the ESC and re-calibrate the
throttle range again from Step 1.)
Refer to the picture on the left side.
3 Set the 3 points according to pictures on the
left side.
► The neutral point
► The end point of the forward direction
► The end point of the backward/brake
direction
When the process of calibration is finished, the
motor can be started after 3 seconds
★ Sensored motor wiring
When using sensored brushless
motor, please connect the
“SENSOR” port of the ESC and the
the “SENSOR” port of the motor with
a sensor wire.
Warning! For sensored brushless
motor, the #A, #B, #C wires of the
ESC MUST be connected with the
motor wire #A, #B, #C
respectively. Do not change the
wires sequence optionally!
★ Sensorless motor wiring
When using sensorless brushless
motor, the #A, #B, #C wires of the
ESC can be connected with the
motor wires freely (without any
order). If the motor runs in the
opposite direction, please swap any
two wire connections.
Warning! Please disconnect the
battery from the ESC after running
the car!
