11. Check the operation of the throttle and steering. Pulling the throttle trigger back will drive the car forward, pushing the trigger forward once will apply the brakes while pushing the trigger forward twice will drive the car in reverse.

Understanding the LED Status Light and Alert Tones The Helion ESC is programmed to communicate with you to let you know its status. LED in normal use • If the throttle trigger is in the neutral range, neither the red LED nor the green LED will light up.
Page 15
Protection Functions Low Voltage Cut-off (LVC) protection: If the voltage of a LiPo battery pack is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will cut off the output power. Please note that the ESC cannot be restarted if the voltage of each LiPo cell is lower than 3.5V.

Programming your ESC Your Helion 50A brushless is a programmable ESC. Although the default settings should work well for most users, these settings exist so that you can fine-tune the performance of your ESC. It’s various parameters can be adjusted using a series of button presses and by counting LED flashes.

when the battery voltage is calculated at the selected voltage or less for more than 2 seconds. Since the setting is ‘per cell’ this means that if you are running a 2 cell battery, the voltage protection will activate relative to 2 x 2.6V = 5.2V.
