Congratulations and thanks for purchasing HOBBYWING electronic speed controller (ESC). The brushless power system for RC
model can be very powerful and 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. Besides, we have
the rights to change the design, appearance, functions and operational requirements without any notifications.
Features
Water-proof and dust-proof for all-weather races. (Note: please uninstall the cooling fan before using this ESC in water; Clean and dry it
soon after the use for avoiding the connectors get rusty.)
External programming port, easy to connect to the Program Card when setting the ESC.
Proportional brake with 4 steps of maximum brake force adjustment and 8 steps of drag brake force adjustment.
9 steps of acceleration (/punch) adjustment from “soft” to “Very aggressive” to fit for different kinds of models, tires and tracks.
Multiple protections: Low voltage cut-off protection / 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
Begin to Use a New Brushless ESC
Attention! This brushless system is powerful
and dangerous, for the safety of your own
and those people around you, please turn on
the ESC while keeping all the wheels in the
air.
Step 1: Wiring
Connect the ESC, receiver, servo, battery and
motor according to the wiring diagram, recheck
all the connections before getting into to the next
step (If the rotation direction is reversed, please
swap any two wire connections of the motor).
Step 2: Set the Throttle Range
Note1: 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).
Explanation for the Beep Sound
In normal case, when the ESC is switched on, the motor will emit several “Beep” tones to express the cell count of the battery pack. For
example, “Beep-Beep-” means 2S LiPo, “Beep-Beep-Beep-” means 3S LiPo, “Beep-Beep-Beep- Beep-” means 4S LiPo.
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.
Swap any two wire connections between the ESC and the
motor.
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 stutters, and cannot
start up.
The connections between motor and
ESC are not reliable.
The ESC is damaged (some MOSFETs
are burnt）.
Check all the solder joints and ensure they are well
soldered. Check connectors.
Contact the distributor for after-sales service.
The vehicle can go forward but
cannot reverse.
The throttle neutral point drifts to the
brake area.
Calibrate the throttle neutral point again to ensure that no
LED lights when the throttle stick is at the neutral position.

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
