Set the Throttle Range
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
function in your transmitter.
Besides, we strongly recommend users to enable the "Fail Safe (F/S)" 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.
Calibrate the throttle range: Turn on the ESC switch, set the throttle
stick to the neutral point and then wait 3 seconds for the completion of
throttle range self-calibration; Beep sound emits if the self-calibration is
sucessfully passed, then the ESC is ready to run.

Set the ESC Parameters

How to Set Parameters:
1. QUICRUN-WP-1625 / 1060-BRUSHED ESC uses the jumper cap to set running mode & battery type. (Note: The "running mode" is not programmable for the QUICRUN-WP-1625-BRUSHED ESC.)
Way to set: We suggest users use the tweezers to set parameters by plugging / unplugging
the jumper cap (as shown in the picture beside );
For example, if want set the battery type to the "LiPo" mode, you only need to plug the jumper
cap into left two pins of the battery pin header.
2. QUICRUN-WP-860-DUAL-BRUSHED ESC uses the dial switch to set running mode &
battery type.
Way to set: recommend using the tweezers to set parameters by flipping the DIP switch (for
detailed explanation, please refer to the following picture); if want to set the battery type to
the "LiPo" mode, you only need to flip the battery dial switch to the left position.
Programmable Items
1. Running Mode: 3 Options (Fwd / Br / Rev, Fwd / Br, Fwd / Rev). The "Fwd / Br / Rev" is the default option. Fwd=Forward, Br=Brake, Rev=Reverse
"Fwd / Br / Rev" mode indicates the vehicle can go forward, backward and brake. This mode uses "Double-click" method to make the vehicle reverse. When moving the throttle stick from the neutral zone to backward zone for the 1
begins to brake the motor and the motor slows down but still running, so the backward action is NOT performed immediately. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again, if the motor speed slows down to zero (i.e. stopped), the
backward action will happen. This "Double-click" method prevents mistakenly reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in steering. Therefore, this mode is often used in daily practice. For the "Fwd / Br" mode, the vehicle can go
forward and brake, but no reversing, so this mode is often used in competitions. And the "Fwd / Rev" mode uses "Single-click" method to make the vehicle reverse, when moving the throttle stick from neutral zone to backward zone, the vehicle
reverses immediately, so this mode is usually used for rock crawler. (Note:WP-1625-BRUSHED has no optional running mode except the default "Fwd / Br / Rev" mod.)
"Boat" mode: this mode used some brand-new algorithm that is specially designed for RC boats. (Only the WP-860-DUAL-BRUSHED ESC has this option in its programmable items.)
2. Battery Type: 2 Options (Lipo, NiMH), the "Lipo" is the default option.

Protection Features

1. Low Voltage Cutoff Protection: If the voltage of battery pack is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will enter the protection mode, so the motor
speed will be lowered (when voltage is lower than the 1
LED blinks to indicate the low voltage cut-off protection has been activated.
2S Lipo
When the voltage is below 6.5V,
the output power will be halved.
When the voltage is lower than
6.0V, the output will be cut off
and won't be resumed again.
Note: when setting the WP-860-DUAL-BRUSHED ESC to the" Boat" mode, the motor will stop running when the LVC protection is activated. Please move the throttle stick
to neutral position, after that the motor can be started up again but the output power will be halved.
05
Troubleshooting
Troubles
After power on, no LED lights up, no self-test and no beep sound.
After turn on, the RED LED blinks but the motor doesn't work.
The car runs backwards when accelerating forward on
the transmitter.
The vehicle can't reach to the full speed even at the full throttle,
and the RED LED doesn't keep lighting.
Vehicle can't reverse.
Motor suddenly stops running.
The vehicle neither go forward no reverse,
but the LED indicators work normally.
The motor accelerates rapidly at the startup moment,
but has lockout or cogging problem.

Throttle wire is wrongly plugged or into the incorrect channel;
The ESC can't successfully complete the throttle range self-calibration.
The direction setting of the throttle channel is incorrect in the transmitter
or the motor wires are wrongly connected.
There are some incorrect settings in the transmitter.
The corresponding jumper is plugged into the wrong position;
Neutral point of the throttle is drifted or deviated.

Possible Causes
Check the connections between battery and ESC. Re-solder the connectors if needed; Change the ESC switch.
Plug the throttle signal wire correctly (in right direction) into the throttle channel (usually Ch2) of the receiver;
Set the "TRIM" of throttle channel to 0 or turn the knob to its neutral position.
Reverse the direction of the throttle channel, from the original "NOR" to "REV" or "REV" to "NOR";
Swap the wires between the ESC and motor.
Set D/R, EPA, ATL to 100% for the throttle channel or turn the knobs to maximum value.
Set TRIM to 0 or turn the knob to its neutral position.
Insert the jumper into the right location;
Set the "TRIM"of the throttle channel to 0 or turn the knob to its neutral point.
Check the connections between ESC and receiver. Check the transmitter and receiver). Check whether the battery voltage of
the transmitter is too low;
The RED LED on the ESC blinks, denoting the ESC is under low voltage cutoff protection or over-heat protection. Please check
the ESC temperature, if it is too hot, please let the ESC cool down. If the battery voltage is low, please change the battery.
Check the connectors between the motor and ESC to ensure all connections are firm and reliable;
Replace a new motor.
Change a battery with better discharge capability;
Use a motor with lower RPM, or smaller pinion to soften the gear ratio;
Check the driveline of the vehicle.
Congratulations and thanks for purchasing Hobbywing QUICRUN series electronic speed
controller (ESC) for brushed motor. 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.
Turn off the ESC switch, wire the battery, motor, ESC, servo,
receiver according to the following diagram. Recheck the wiring to
ensure all connections are correct before getting into the next step.
1) Once the power is wrongly connected (that means
the battery polarity is mistakenly reversed ), irreparable
damage may occur to the ESC and batteries.
ATTENTION
Battery
Therefore, please pay close attention to the battery
polarity.
2) Please swap the two wire connections if the motor
rotate in the opposite direction.

2. Over-heat Protection: When the internal temperature of the ESC is
higher than 100 Celsius degrees, this protection will be activated and
the output power will be reduced till cut off. The RED LED blinks when
the vehicle stops, and the ESC will not resume output power until its
temperature is below 80 Celsius degrees.
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.
