BL-2s Profile Selection
The speed control is factory set to Profile #1 (100% forward, brakes, and reverse).
To disable reverse (Profile #2) or to allow 50% forward and 50% reverse (Profile #3),
follow the steps below. The speed control should be connected to the receiver
and battery, and the transmitter should be
adjusted as described previously. The profiles are selected by entering the
programming mode.
Profile Description
Profile #1 (Sport Mode): 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, 100% Reverse
Profile #2 (Race Mode): 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, No Reverse
Profile #3 (Training Mode): 50% Forward, 100% Brakes, 50% Reverse
Selecting Sport Mode (Profile #1: 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, 100% Reverse)
1. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the BL-2s and turn on your transmitter.
2. With the BL-2s off, press and hold
the EZ-Set button until the LED turns
solid green, then solid red and then
begins blinking red (indicating the Profile
numbers).
3. When the LED blinks red once, release
the EZ-Set button.
4. The LED will blink and then turn solid green
(Low-Voltage Detection ACTIVE) or red (Low-
Voltage Detection DISABLED). The model is
ready to drive.
Selecting Race Mode (Profile #2: 100% Forward, 100% Brakes, No Reverse)
1. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the BL-2s and turn on your transmitter.
2. With the BL-2s off, press and hold
the EZ-Set button until the LED turns
solid green, then solid red and then
begins blinking red (indicating the Profile
numbers).
3. When the LED blinks red twice, release
the EZ-Set button.
4. The LED will blink and then turn solid green
(Low-Voltage Detection ACTIVE) or red (Low-
Voltage Detection DISABLED). The model is
ready to drive.
Selecting Training Mode (Profile #3: 50% Forward, 100% Brakes, 50% Reverse)
1. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the BL-2s and turn on your transmitter.
2. With the BL-2s off, press and hold the EZ-Set
button until the LED turns solid green,
then solid red and then begins blinking red
(indicating the Profile numbers).
3. When the LED blinks red three times, release
the EZ-Set button.
ADJUSTING THE ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
4. The LED will blink and then turn solid
green (Low-Voltage Detection ACTIVE) or
red (Low-Voltage Detection DISABLED). The
model is ready to drive.
Note: If you missed the mode you wanted, keep the EZ-Set button pressed down
and the blink cycle will repeat until the button is released and a Mode is selected.

• Solid Green: BL-2s power-on light. Low-Voltage Detection is
ACTIVATED (LiPo setting).
• Solid Red: BL-2s power-on light. Low-Voltage Detection is DISABLED
(NiCad/NiMH setting). Never use LiPo batteries while Low-Voltage
Detection is disabled.
• Slow Blinking Red (with Low-Voltage Detection on): The BL-2s has
entered Low-Voltage Protection. When the battery voltage begins
to reach the minimum recommended discharge voltage threshold
for LiPo battery packs, the BL-2s will limit the power output to
50% throttle. When the battery voltage attempts to fall below the
minimum threshold, the BL-2s will shut down all motor output.
The LED on the speed control will slowly blink red, indicating a
low-voltage shutdown. The BL-2s will stay in this mode until a fully
charged battery is connected.
• Fast Blinking Red: Thermal Shutdown Protection Stage 1. If the
motor has lower than normal power and the BL-2s is hot, the BL-2s
has entered Stage 1 Thermal Shutdown Protection to guard against
overheating caused by excessive current flow. If the motor has
no power and the BL-2s is very hot, the BL-2s has entered Stage 2
Thermal Shutdown Protection and has automatically shut down.
Let the BL-2s cool. Make sure your model is properly geared for the
conditions (see page 24).
• Very Fast Blinking Red: Thermal Shutdown Protection and Low
Voltage Protection (see above) have occurred at the same time.
• Alternating; Blinks Red then Green: If the motor has no power, the
BL-2s has entered Over Voltage Protection. If a battery with too high
voltage is used, the BL-2s will go into a fail-safe mode. WARNING:
If input voltage exceeds approximately 20-volts, the ESC may be
damaged. Do not exceed 10.5 maximum peak input voltage.
• Blinking Green: The BL-2s is indicating the transmitter Throttle Trim
is incorrectly set. Adjust the Throttle Trim to the middle "0" setting.

(Profile #3) reduces forward

Solid
and reverse throttle by 50%.
Training Mode is provided
to reduce the power output,
allowing beginning drivers
to better control the model.
As driving skills improve,
simply change to Sport or
Race Mode for full-power
operation.
Tip For Fast Mode Changes
The BL-2s is set to Profile 1
(Sport Mode) as the default.
To quickly change to Profile 3
(Training Mode), with the
transmitter on, press and
hold the EZ-Set button until
the light blinks red three
times and then release.
For full power, quickly change
back to Profile 1 (Sport Mode)
by pressing and holding the
EZ-Set button until the light
blinks red one time and
then releasing.
The BL-2s has built-in
programming that prevents
accidental activation of
reverse while in forward
motion and vice-versa. You
must come to a complete
stop, release the throttle
trigger, then apply opposite
throttle to engage the motor
in the desired direction.
