Installation
• Mount your ESC securely using high quality double-sided tape.
• Install your ESC in a position that allows easy access to all connectors.
• Plug the ESC’s receiver wire into the receiver
(refer to radio manufacturer’s manual)
• To prevent radio interference, arrange ESC wiring so that it is not in close
proximity to the receiver antenna wire.
• Connect the three motor leads exiting the ESC to the three leads exiting
your motor. If the motor runs backwards when giving it forward throttle,
reverse any two motor leads. The motor will now run the desired direction.
• Mount the switch to the case using the tab provided.
• Always power ON your transmitter before the ESC, and power OFF the
ESC before the transmitter.
Safety Precautions
This product is a sophisticated hobby product and not a toy. It must be
operated with caution and common sense and requires some basic
mechanical ability. Failure to operate this product in a safe and responsible
manner could result in injury or damage to the product or property.
This product is not intended to be used by children without direct adult
supervision. It is essential to read and follow all instructions and warnings
found in this manual prior to installation, set up, and use, in order for the
product to operate properly and to avoid damage or injury.
Your new ESC must be calibrated before use. Before calibration, be sure to
set your radio’s throttle and brake EPAs to 100% and your throttle trim to
neutral. Then follow the steps outlined below.
Throttle Calibration
Procedure
Power ON transmitter

Once the calibration procedure is complete, turn on your transmitter, then
your ESC, and begin operating your vehicle. Note: If you choose to make
settings adjustments at this time, you can do so immediately after step #6
of the throttle calibration procedure.

Introduction
Congratulations on your XP Brushless Electronic Speed Control (ESC)
purchase. The latest electronics technology along with the design and
engineering experience that is responsible for multiple World
Championship titles has been incorporated into its design.
Your XP Brushless ESC is water-resistant for maximum durability. Its light
and compact design allows for easy installation in most 1/8 vehicles. Dual
connectors allow plug and play use in vehicles that require two batteries.
Simple calibration and a wide variety of tuning options make this ESC
perfect for both casual enthusiast and racers. When paired with a Reedy
Brushless Motors, you create a potent combination of power and efficiency
that brings performance to a new level. More power and less maintenance
elevate the fun factor by increasing top speeds and reducing down time.
Please read the following before installing and operating
your new ESC.
Your ESC comes with pre-programmed default settings. You can also
change the setting based on the type of vehicle used as well as personal
performance preferences based on the track you are driving on and your
driving style.
Drag Brake - Drag brake is the amount of braking achieved when the
throttle is returned to neutral. A setting of 0% means the vehicle will free
wheel to a stop while higher settings will stop the car faster. Please note
that regardless of the drag brake setting, you will still be able to use the
brake trigger to manually slow the car.
Throttle Profile – This setting adjusts the power delivery of your
ESC/motor combination. The Very Soft setting can be used on loose or
bumpy track to reduce wheel spin while the Maximum setting works well
when high traction is available. Four settings provide options for any track
condition.
Run Mode - This gives the option of using reverse or eliminating it
completely (for competition). With reverse activated, you will still have fully
proportional braking.
To make settings adjustments, you must first follow the calibration
procedure. After step #6, you will encounter a 5-second delay before
entering the settings adjustment mode. All changes will be made using
your transmitter’s throttle trigger. Note: Once you enter the settings
adjustment mode, the ESC will scroll through all options. If you fail to
choose a setting, the ESC will keep the previously saved setting.
For example, if you want to change the throttle profile from Soft to
Standard, enter the settings mode. You will encounter the Drag Brake
mode first at which time you can let the ESC scroll through the choices
(the previously saved setting will be kept) until you reach the Throttle
Profile choices. You must make the selection by pulling the throttle trigger
to maximum after the ESC scrolls to the desired setting (in this case
Standard) indicated by the appropriate audible tones. Once this setting
(or any setting for that matter) is chosen, you can skip to Step #5 if no
other changes are desired.
Programmable Settings Battery Management System - A choice of either LiPo mode or NiMH mode
adjusts the low voltage cutoff point. This is critically important when using
LiPo batteries that should not, for performance and safety reasons, be
discharged below 3.0V per cell. In LiPo mode, the ESC detects whether you
are using 2 or 3 cells and adjusts the cutoff accordingly.
The ESC can be toggled between LiPo and NiMH by following the steps
outlined below. The default setting is NiMH mode.
Battery Management System
IMPORTANT! When the transmitter and ESC are turned on, the color of the
ESC LED at neutral indicates which mode the ESC is in. When the LED is
green, the ESC is in LiPo mode (3.2V/cell cut off). When the LED is red, the
ESC is in NiMH mode (default).
Vehicle Operation - To operate the vehicle, pull back on the throttle trigger
to move forward and push forward on the throttle trigger to engage brakes.
To engage reverse, push forward on the throttle trigger to maximum brakes.
Hold the trigger in this position for at least .5 seconds before returning the
throttle trigger to neutral. Now push the throttle trigger forward to reverse the
vehicle.
