ESC Specialized for Brushless Motor
Thank you for purchasing SUPER VORTEX Generation2 PRO.
Before you start to use your new ESC, please read these instructions carefully to enjoy optimum performance.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
■This ESC is designed for use with SANWA 2.4GHz radio systems. Functionality of this ESC with radio system bands other than
SANWA may differ. Carefully check the function of the radio system when a brand other than SANWA is used.
■When soldering your battery connector and battery wires to the ESC, please observe correct polarity. Plugging the battery into
ESC with reverse polarity will damage the ESC beyond repair!
■Be careful to solder silicone wire into your ESC or motor correctly. If battery wire is removed while driving, it'll lead to no control
of reciever and it's very dagerous.
■This ESC is not waterproof. Do not run through water or allow the ESC to become wet with moisture or the ESC can be
damaged.
■This ESC is not compatible with sensorless type brushless motor.
■Maintain your motor on a regular basis to ensure high performance. Degradation of motor performance can put undue stress
on the ESC, resulting in damage to the ESC.
■This ESC is designed for use with 3.5T or greater (w/1S LiPo) and 4.5T or greater (w/2S LiPo) sensored brushless motor only.
■Do not hold full throttle under no-load operation of motor. Too much revolution may result in damage to your motor or ESC.
■When soldering the motor and battery wires to the ESC, be careful not to overheat the mounting posts or damage can result.
■The power capacitor installed on the ESC is mandatory for proper use. Do not remove the power capacitor.
■Always disconnect your battery from the ESC when not in use.
■Fix SUPER VORTEX Gen2 PRO in your car so securely that it will not be removed by impact.
■In case of using AUX CODE or CODE 5, please turn off CODE6 ~ CODE10 function on Telemetry & CODE ASSIGN by using
PROGRAM BOX Gen2.
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
■SSR Mode-Compatible
■Installed 4 basic program + 10 program modes.
Other 4 programs can be added by using PROGRAM BOX
Gen2. ( Required to update PROGRAM BOX Gen2 firmware
(Ver.01.03R001)
■New function compatible with CODE 10 for M12S &
EXZES ZZ & MT-44.
■Developed Function is available only when used with SSL System/CODE 10.
(Boost Rate, Turbo, Boost Starting RPM, Boost Acceleration,
Neutral Dead Band)
■Boost Function/Turbo Function
■High-performance regulator (6.0V-3.0A)
■Multi-Protect System
Prevent ESC from Overheat.
OVERVIEW, CONNECTIONS AND MOUNTING
●Solder the included 12 AWG Power wire to connect ESC to battery and motor.
*IMPORTANT: When soldering your battery connector and battery wires to the ESC, please observe correct polarity - positive to positive and
negative to negative. When soldering the motor wires to the ESC and your motor, make sure that the wiring matches - A,B and C from the ESC
to A, B and C on yoru motor.
*WARNING: Do not leave the soldering iron on the mounting posts for any longer than is necessary to melt the solder. If the mounting posts
overheat, it can damage the ESC. A suitably hot soldering should not be left on the mounting posts longer than about 5 seconds. If the solder
is not melting within 5 seconds, use a hotter soldering iron.
Make sure to connect sensor cable to ESC and Motor.
IMPORTANT: Don't contact to
drive train components.
Don't remove.

USER MANUAL
■Cut-off battery function allows you to use various batteries.
When the battery volatge reaches the selected cut-off voltage, motor
slow down and then stop.
■SSL System-Compatible
When used with compatible transmitters and receivers (M12S/EXZES ZZ/
MT-44/MT-4S/MT-S and RX482/RX472/RX-47T), remote programming
via transmitter is available. And telemetry data (RPM of motor, battery voltage,
temperature of ESC and *motor) can be checked by transmitter without sensor.
*Only motor included temperature sensor.
*In case of using AUX CODE or CODE 5, please turn off CODE6 ~ CODE10
function on Telemetry & CODE ASSIGN by using PROGRAM BOX Gen2.
■Comaptible with Cooling Fan (30msize)
※When you use low turn motor (5.5T or less),
always use 2pcs. of power capacitor in parallel.
