Binding (connecting the receiver to transmitter)
Binding the Receiver to the Transmitter
"Binding" is tuning receiver to the frequencies used by
the transmitter. Bind the receiver to the transmitter as follows:
1. With both transmitter and receiver turned off, place the units no more then 30 cm (1ft) apart.
2. While holding down the receiver's BIND button, apply power to the receiver. Its LED will start to flash
steadily, indicsting that the unit is in binding mode,a state that lasts up to 30 seconds.
3. Turn the transmitter on. It will immediately go into binding mode, a state that lasts one second.
4. When the receiver's LED shines steadily, binding complete.
Install 4pcs AA batteries to the
H.A.R.D transmitter.
Press the throttle trigger to moving forward the vehicle
Push forward the throttle trigger to brake and reverse the vehicle.

* There are 2 kinds of WP-1040-BRUSHED-Crawler& Boat speed controllers, one has 1 output for 1 motor, and the other
one has 2 outputs for 2 motors (2 motors work synchronously).
** The WP-860-DUAL BRUSHED has 2 outputs to drive 2 motors synchronously. When driving 2 motors, the Turns of
the motors need to be increased.
【BEGIN TO USE】
1. Connect the ESC, motor, receiver, battery and servo according to the following diagram
"+" and "-" wires of the ESC are connected to the battery pack.
Attention: The incorrect polarity will damage the ESC immediately.
PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
1.
Low voltage Cut-off (LVC) 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.

2.
Over-heat protection: When the internal temperature of the ESC is higher than 100 Celsius degree or 212
Fahrenheit degree 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 (176 Fahrenheit 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.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "BRUSHED" AND "BRUSHED-CRAWLER& BOAT" ESC
1.
"Brushed" and "Brushed-Crawler& Boat" ESCs have different backward-running modes.
"Brushed" ESC uses "Double-Click" method to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick from
forward zone to backward zone for the first time, the ESC begins to brake the motor, the motor speeds down but
still running, so the backward action is NOT happened at this moment. When the throttle stick is moved to the
other radio systems shall be set to "NOR".
The "Fail Save" function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated. Please make sure that the motor
can be stopped when the "Fail Save" happens.
3.
Throttle Range Setting (Throttle Range Calibration)
In order to make the ESC match the throttle range of different transmitters, the calibrationof the ESC is necessary.
To calibrate the ESC, please turn on the transmitter, keep throttle stick at its neutral position, wait for 3 seconds to let the
ESC execute self-test and automatic throttle calibration. When the ESC is ready to run, a long beep sound is emitted
from the motor.
Note: Please calibrate the throttle range again when using a new transmitter or changing the settings of the neutral
position of throttle channel, D/R, ATV, ATL or EPA parameters,otherwise the ESC may not work properly.
【BEEP SOUND AND LED STATUS】
The Meaning of Beep Sound
1 short Beep: The battery is NiMH/NiCd
When the throttle stick is in neutral range, red LED is off
2 short Beeps: The battery is 2S Lipo
Forward, brake or reverse at partial throttle, red LED blinks
3 short Beeps: The battery is 3S Lipo
Forward, brake or reverse at full throttle, red LED is solid
4 short Beeps: The battery is 4S Lipo
1 long Beep: Self-test and throttle calibration is
OK, the ESC is ready to run
【THROTTLE STICK POSITION】
【SET THE ESC】
The ESC is programmed by the jumpers
(Tweezers is recommended to plug and unplug the jumper).
backward zone again (The 2nd "click"), if the motor speed is slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward
action will be activated. The "Double-Click" method prevents mistakenly reverse when the brake function is
frequently used in steering.
"Brushed-Crawler& Boat" ESC uses "Single-click" to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick
from forward zone to backward zone, the car will go backward immediately. This mode is common for the Rock
Crawler and tank.
2.
The maximum reverse force (for backward running) is 50% for the general "Brushed" ESC, 100% for the "Crawler"
mode of a "Brushed-Crawler & Boat" ESC, and 25% for the "Boat" mode of a "Brushed-Crawler & Boat" ESC.
3.
The Low Voltage Cut-off Protection modes are different (Please check the instructions in the section of
"PROTECTION FUNCTIONS").
