Hobbywing QUICRUN WP 1080 G2 BRUSHED - Brushed Electronic Speed Controller

Specifications

Connections

This is an extremely powerful brushed motor system. For your safety and the safety of those around you, we strongly recommend removing the pinion gear attached to the motor before performing calibration and programming functions with this system. It is also advisable to keep the wheels in the air when you turn on the ESC.

• Motor Wiring
  There is no polarityon the M+/M- two ESC-to-motor wires, hence, do not worry on how you connect them initially. You may find it necessary to swap two wires if the motor runs in reverse.
• Receiver Wiring
  Plug the throttle control cable (white/red/black cable) on the ESC into the throttle (TH) channel on receiver. The throttle control cable will output the voltage of 6V/7.4V/8.4V to the receiver and steering servo. Hence, no separate battery can be connected to the receiver. Otherwise, your ESC may be damaged. Single white cable: This cable is used to connect the receiver AUX channel and cooperate with the "real car mode" in the running mode of esc to realize the function of real-time switching of motor rotation direction through the transmitter. For details, please refer to the introduction of "real car mode" below the parameter items. Single orange cable: This cable is used to connect the receiver AUX channel, which can realize the function of real-time and linear adjustment of drag brake force through the transmitter.
• Battery Wiring
  Proper polariy is esential. Please ensure positive (+) connects to positive (+), and negative (-) connects to negative (-) when plugging in the battery! When reverse polarity is applied to your ESC from the battery, it WILL damage your ESC. This WILL NOT be covered under warrranty!

1. Running Mode
   Option 1: Forward with Brake. It's a racing mode. It has only forward and brake functions.
   Option 2: Forward/ Reverse with Brake. This option is known to be the "training" mode with "Forward/ Reverse with Brake" functions. Hobbywing has adopted the "DOUBLE-CLICK" method, that is your vehicle only brakes on the 1st time you push the throttle trigger forward (brake) (1st push). The motor will reverse when you release the throttle triggle and re-push the trigger(2nd push).
   Option 3: Forward and Reverse. This mode is often used by special vehicles (rock crawler). It adopts the "SINGLE-CLICK" method. The vehicle will brake immediately when you push the throttle trigger forward (brake).
   Option 4: Real car mode
   When this mode is set, pushing the throttle trigger is always braking, the purpose is to simulate the real vehicle and realize the smooth downhill of the vehicle through the control of the brake. In addition, when this mode is set, connect the single white signal cable of the esc to the AUX channel of the receiver, the real-time switching of the motor rotation direction can be realized through the channel switch/key corresponding to the transmitter. That is, the vehicle can move forward or backward by pulling the throttle trigger through the control of the transmitter. When the maximum brake force is not enough to stop the vehicle on the ramp, you can also try to switch the motor rotation direction, and realize the smooth downhill of the vehicle through the reverse control of the motor.
2. Battery Type
   Option 1: LiPo. Select this option when you use a LiPo battery and set the cutoff voltage accordingly.
   Option 2: NiMH. Select this option when you use a NiMH battery and set the cutoff voltage accordingly.
3. Cutoff Voltage
   Sets the voltage at which the ESC lowers or removes power to the motor in order to either keep the battery at a safe minimum voltage (for LiPo batteries). The ESC monitors the battery voltage all the time; it will immediately cut off the output when the voltage goes below the cutoff threshold. The RED LED will flash a short, single flash that repeats ( -, protection is activated.
   Option 1: Disabled. The ESC does not cut the power off due to low voltage. Please pay attention to the power change of your vehicle. In general, the battery voltage gets pretty low when your vehicle is severely losing power, then you should stop using that pack.
   Option 2: Auto (Low). Low cutoff voltage, difficult to get the LVC protection activated, is applicable to batteries with poor discharge capability. The corresponding cutoff voltage is 3.0V/Cell for Lipo battery and 4.5V for whole NiMH pack.
   Option 3: Auto (Medium). Medium cutoff voltage, prone to getting the LVC Protection activated, is applicable to batteries with ordinary discharge capability. The corresponding cutoff voltage is 3.2V/Cell for Lipo battery and 5.0V for whole NiMH pack.
   Option 4: Auto (High). High cutoff voltage, very prone to getting the LVC Protection activated, is applicable to packs with great discharge capability. The corresponding cutoff voltage is 3.4V/Cell for Lipo battery and 5.5V for whole NiMH pack.
4. Initial Start Force
   It's the initial force when you pull the throttle trigger from neutral position toward throttle position. A suitable start force can effectively prevent vehicle from sliding when you apply a low throttle amount.
5. Max. Forward Force
   It's the force when throttle trigger is at the full throttle position. It's adjustable among 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (by default). You can lower down the value for better driving feel/control when you drive a crawler (simulation model) over difficult terrains (and don't have any requirement against the maximum speed).
6. Max. Reverse Force
   Different reverse force will bring different reversing speed. For the safety of your vehicle, we recommend using a low level.
7. Max. Brake Force
   The ESC provides proportional braking function; the braking effect is decided by the position of the throttle trigger. It sets what percentage of available braking power when full brake is applied. Large amount will shorten the braking time but it may damage your pinion and spur. Please select the most suitable brake amount as per your car condition and your preference.
8. Initial Brake Force
   It is also known as "minimum brake force". It is the force when pushing throttle trigger from neutral zone to the initial brake position.
9. Drag Brake
   Drag brake is the braking power produced when releasing the throttle trigger to neutral zone. This parameter value can be adjusted in real time through the transmitter. When a single orange cable of the esc is connected to AUX channel of the receiver, the drag brake can be set in real time through the corresponding keys/knobs of the channel.
10. Drag Brake Rate
    It's the rate at which the drag brake increases from zero to the pre-set value when the throttle trigger enters the neutral range. A suitable rate can make the vehicle stop stably. You can choose the drag brake rate from level 1 (very soft) to level 9 (very aggressive) as per the track, tires' grip, and etc.
11. Neutral Range
    As not all transmitters have the same stability at "neutral position", please adjust this parameter as per your preference. You can adjust to a bigger value when this happens.
12. Start Mode / Punch
    You can choose the punch from level 1 (very soft) to level 5 (very aggressive) as per the track, tires, grip, your preference and etc. This feature is very useful for preventing tires from slipping during the starting-up process. In addition, "level 4" and "level 5" have strict requirement on battery's discharge capability. It may affect the starting-up if the battery discharges poorly and cannot provide large current in a short time. The car stutters or suddenly loses power in the starting-up process indicating the battery's discharge capability is not good, and then you need to reduce the punch or increase the FDR (Final Drive Ratio).
13. PWM Drive Frequency
    The acceleration will be more aggressive at the initial stage when the drive frequency is low; a higher drive frequency is smoother but this will create more heat to the ESC.
14. BEC Voltage
    The BEC voltage supports 6V/7.4V/8.4V three levels of adjustment. Generally, 6.0V is applicable to ordinary steering servo, and 7.4V/8.4V is applicable to high-voltage steering servo, please set the appropriate value according to the specification of the steering servo used.
    
    The set BEC voltage should not exceed the support voltage of the steering servo and receiver, otherwise it may damage the steering servo and receiver or even the esc.
15. Freewheeling
    For regular vehicles, we recommend disabling this function. With it disabled, your vehicle can have quick acceleration. For a crawler (simulation model), we suggest enabling it. With it enabled, you crawler can have better linearity during a low-speed running and also less heat.

ESC Programming

1. Program your ESC with the SET Button
   
   
   • For easy recognition, the motor beeps at the same time when the Red LED flashes.
   • When "N" (the number) is equal to or bigger than 5, we use a long flash to represent "5". For example, the Red LED flashes a long flash (and the motor beeps a long beep at the same time) indicating you are in the 5th programmable item; if the Red LED flashes a long flash and a short flash (and the motor beeps a long beep and a short beep at the same time) indicating you are in the 6th programmable item; a long flash and two short flashes ( a long beep and two short beeps at the same time) indicating you're in the 7th programmable item and so on.

2. Program your ESC with a LED program card
   The system supports setting parameters with LED program card. Before the programming, you need to connect your ESC to the program card via a White/Red/Black PVC cable with two JR male connectors (one end of the cable to the separate programming port on the ESC and the other end to the port marked with " the program card), and then turn on the ESC, all programmable items will show up a few seconds later. You can select the item by choosing via "ITEM" & "VALUE" buttons on the program card. Press the "OK" button to save all new settings to your ESC.
   

Factory Reset

• Restore the default values with the SET button
  Press and hold the SET button for over 3 seconds anytime when the throttle is at the neutral position (except during the ESC calibration and programming). The Red LED flahses a long flash (the motor beeps a long beep at the same time) and then a short, single flash that repeats indicating that you have successfully restored all the default values within your ESC. Power on again before running.
• Restore the default values with a LED program card.
  After connecting the LED program card to the ESC, press the "RESET" button and the "OK" button to factory reset your ESC.

Explanation for LED Status

• The Red LED dies out when the throttle trigger is in throttle neutral zone.
• The Red LED flashes when your vehicle runs forward and it turns solid Red when you pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle endpoint.
• The Red LED flashes when your vehicle brakes and it turns solid Red when you push the throttle trigger to the full brake endpoint and set the "maximum brake force" to 100%.
• The Red LED flashes when your vehicle runs backward and it runs solid Red when you push the throttle trigger to the full brake endpoint and set the "maximum reverse force" to 100%.
