bEEp sound and lEd status

∞ 1 short Beep: The battery is NiMH/NiCd
∞ 2 short Beeps: The battery is 2S Lipo
∞ 3 short Beeps: The battery is 3S Lipo
∞ 1 long Beep: Self-test and throttle calibration is OK, the ESC is ready to run

protEction Functions

1. lOW VOlTAgE CuT-OFF PROTECTION: If the voltage of battery pack is lower than the 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.
2S lipo
Output reduces 50% at 6.5V
Output cuts off at 6.0V, cannot be
recovered
2. OVER-hEAT PROTECTION: When the internal temperature of the ESC is higher than a factory preset threshold for 5
seconds, the ESC will reduce and cut off the output power.
When the car stops, the red LED blinks to indicate the over-heat protection has been activated. If the ESC cools down to 80
Celsius degree, the output power is recovered to normal state.
3. ThROTTlE SIgNAl lOSS PROTECTION: The ESC will cut off the output power if the throttle signal has been lost for 0.1
second. The "Fail Save" function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated.

TROuBlE
After power on, motor can't work, no
sound is emitted, and LED is off
After power on, motor can't work; red
LED blinks
The motor runs in the opposite direction
The car can't go backward
The car can't go forward, but can go
backward
The motor doesn't work, but the LED in
the ESC works normally
The motor suddenly stops running while
in working state
The car cannot get top speed and the red
LED doesn't solid on at full throttle
Motor is cogging when accelerated
quickly
The car doesn't run straight

The Meaning of Beep Sound
Output reduces 50% at 9.75V
Output cuts off at 9.0V, cannot be
recovered
POSSIBlE REASON
The ESC doesn't get its working voltage; Connections
between battery pack and ESC are broken
Switch is damaged
Polarity or battery type is wrong
Throttle signal is abnormal
Automatic throttle range calibration is failed
The wire connections between ESC and the motor need
to be changed
The jumper position is wrong
The neutral point of throttle channel is changed or
drifted
The direction of throttle channel is not correct
The connections between motor and ESC are broken
Motor is damaged
The throttle signal is lost
Low voltage cut-off protection or Over-heat cut-off
protection has been activated
Some setting in the transmitter are incorrect
The battery has limited discharge ability
Motor RPM is too high, the gear ratio is too aggressive
Something wrong in the driving system of the car
Steering TRIM is not adjusted correctly
Wheel nuts are too loose
∞ When the throttle stick is in neutral range, red LED is off
∞ Forward, brake or reverse at partial throttle, red LED blinks
∞ Forward, brake or reverse at full throttle, red LED is solid
sEt tHE Esc
3S lipo
Output reduces 50% at 4.5V
Output cuts off at 4.0V, cannot be
recovered
Check the battery wires connection or replace the
defective connectors
Replace the switch
Check polarity and battery type
Check the throttle wire connection; make sure it is
plugged into the throttle channel of the receiver
Set the "TRIM" of throttle channel to 0 or turn the knob
to its neutral position
Swap two wire connections between the ESC and the
motor
Check the jumper and plug it to the correct position
Set the "TRIM" of throttle channel to 0 or turn the knob
to its neutral position
Reset the direction of throttle channel from original
"NOR" to "REV", or from original "REV" to "NOR"
Check the connections and replace the defective
connectors
Replace the motor
Check the transmitter and the receiver.
Check the throttle wire connection
Replace the battery pack, or cool down the ESC
Set D/R, EPA, ATL to 100% or turn the knobs to
maximum value.
Set TRIM to 0 or turn the knob to its neutral position
Use battery with better discharge ability
Use motor with lower RPM, or use smaller pinion to get
softer gear ratio
Check the driving system of the car
Make adjustment of the TRIM
Tighten wheel nuts
