RC Electric Parts’ Electric Speed Controller (ESC) for Brushless Motors Thank you for using RC Electric Parts’ ESC designed to meet your hobbies needs. As you'll find the ESC's settings are programmable with lots of features. If you have any and we’d...
• ESC beeps motor during startup to confirm number of battery cells for power input. • RC Electric Parts has intellectual property on the product and can be updated and upgraded. The product can also be made to customers’ specifications.
03 Wiring Diagram *Please ensure all solder joints are insulated with heat shrink where necessary. 04 First Time Use When using the ESC for the first time or switching transmitters a “Throttle Range Calibration” procedure will need to be done. This will set the minimum and maximum throttle range for the ESC and will ensure a stable linear throttle response.
05 Programming Instructions * The ESC can be programmed using the transmitter or an RC Electric parts Programming Card (Sold Separately). Both methods work but using a programming card is easier. Settings / Parameters Table *The motor will need to be connected in order for the ESC to make the beeps.

NiMH / NiCad Battery Battery Type LiPo / Li-ion Low Voltage Protection Low (2.8V or 50%) (“For LiPo / Li-ion” or “ Med (3.0V or 65%) for NiMH / NiCad Battery”) High (3.2V or 75%) Reset to factory default settings Automatic Timing Low (7 - 22°)
B – B – B” set of tones which is four sets of three continuing beeps. Once it has finished making the tones move the throttle to the zero-throttle position. If the brake was off before it’ll turn the brake on and if the brake was on before it’ll turn it off. Wait for the ESC to beep which confirms that the ESC has saved the new settings.

Ni-xx (NiMH / NiCad) battery pack: Set the cutoff voltage 50% (Low) / 65% (Medium) / 75% (High) of the initial voltage (The voltage the ESC reads when the battery pack is plugged in). Li-xx (LiPo / Li-Ion) battery pack: Set the cutoff voltage per cell 2.8V (Low) / 3.0V (Middle) / 3.2v (High).

recommend using the recommended timing for the motor or “Automatic” setting when uncertain. 6. Start-up: Very Smooth / Smooth / Accelerated Startup Very Smooth: 1.5 second linear throttle lag response time between starting the motor and full motor speed. This setting can prevent a gearbox from stripping under instantaneous load.

8kHz: Is the PWM Frequency for a motor with 2 poles, usually an inrunner motor. However, the 16 kHz frequency can provide more power but will also cause more Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Therefore, the default setting is 8kHz. 16kHz: Is the PWM frequency for a motor with more than 2 poles, usually an outrunner motor.

commence protection. However, the ECS will reduce the output power gradually instead of cutting off output power immediately so that the players will have certain period to rescue the machine. It has both safety and practicability Low Voltage Protection ● The warning tone: The warning tone is set as audible sound to help users judge abnormal condition after turn on the power.
