Losi Mini 8IGHT-T RTR - Manual (Page 7)

ESC PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
1. Power ON the transmitter and set the transmitter’s throttle endpoint travel to maximum
and the throttle trim to the center position.
2. Leave the throttle trigger at center,then power ON the ESC.
3. Press and hold the Battery Chemistry Button on the power switch for 3 seconds. The LED
fl ashes the current battery chemistry (red = Ni-MH, green = Li-Po).
4. Continue holding the Battery Chemistry Button for another 6 seconds. The ESC changes
battery chemistry and the LED fl ashes the new battery chemistry.
5. Power OFF the ESC. The ESC saves the setting until it is changed.
TRANSMITTER/ESC ENDPOINT CALIBRATION
After executing the setting task, the green LED will fl ash as you release the throttle
trigger to neutral. Once neutral is reached, a beep will sound and the green LED
will glow solid for 1 second. The red LED will begin to fl ash.
a. Move the throttle trigger to full throttle and hold it until a beep sounds and
the red LED glows solid for 1 second. Release the throttle trigger to neutral
and the red LED will glow solid while the green LED will begin to fl ash.
b. Move the throttle trigger to full brake/reverse and hold until a beep sounds
and the green LED glows solid.
c. Release the throttle trigger to neutral. Both red and green LEDs will fl ash
3 times with 3 beeps.
d. Power OFF the ESC and then power ON the ESC to return to normal operation.
OPERATION LED STATUS
(Waiting for Throttle Position) LED STATUS
(Position Set)
Neutral Flashing Green Solid Green (1 second)
Forward Flashing Red Solid Red (1 second)
Full Brake/Reverse Solid Red
Flashing Green
Solid Green (1 second)
Followed by Red and Green
Flashing 3x
CHANGE ESC RUNNING MODE
Forward/Reverse with Smart Brake, or Forward Only with Brake
The green LED will indicate the currently selected ESC running mode for 4 seconds:
- Green LED Solid: Forward/Reverse (Smart Brake)
- Green LED Flashing: Forward Only (Brake)
a. Move the throttle trigger to full throttle within the 4 seconds to select the
next ESC mode. A beep will sound and the green LED will indicate the new
ESC running mode.
b. To change back to the previous mode, repeat the step above within 4 seconds
of the beep.
c. Both red and green LEDs will fl ash 3 times with 3 beeps.
d. Power OFF the ESC and then power ON the ESC to return to normal operation.
At any time that the ESC is powered and the transmitter is at neutral,
the green LED will indicate the current ESC running mode:
- Green LED Solid: Forward/Reverse (Smart Brake)
- Green LED Flashing: Forward Only (Brake)
TAZER MINI BRUSHLESS WATERPROOF ESC (DYNS1425)
FUZE MINI BRUSHLESS MOTOR, 4500KV
PINION SPUR BATTERY GEARING COMMENTS
14T 62T Ni-MH OK This is the stock gearing. If you use a 2S–3S Li-Po, you will need to gear down,
or you will overheat the motor.
12T (LOSB1862) 62T 2S Li-Po OK This gearing is optimal for a 2S Li-Po.
10T (LOSB1861) 62T 3S Li-Po OK This gearing is optimal for a 3S Li-Po.
CHANGING THE PINION/GEAR RATIO
Your vehicle comes with the 14T pinion gear installed for the
included 6C Ni-MH battery. If you want to use a 2S–3S Li-Po
battery, refer to the Gearing Chart for the proper gearing.
1. Remove the 6 screws securing the gear cover and remove
the gear cover.
2. Loosen the motor screws and slide the motor back.
3. Loosen the setscrew and remove the installed pinion gear.
4. Place the new pinion on the end of the motor shaft so the
setscrew is located over the fl at on the shaft.
5. Position it so the teeth line up with the spur gear and secure
by tightening the setscrew.
6. Tighten the motor screws and reinstall the gear cover.
SETTING THE GEAR MESH
The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting it
is only necessary when changing motors or gears. Proper gear
mesh (how gear teeth meet) is important to the performance
of the vehicle. When the gear mesh is too loose, the spur gear
could be damaged by the pinion gear of the motor. If the mesh
is too tight, speed could be limited and the motor and ESC
will overheat.
1. Remove the 6 screws securing the gear cover and
remove the gear cover.
2. Loosen the motor screws and slide the motor back.
3. Put a small piece of paper between the pinion and
spur gears.
4. Push the gears together while tightening the motor screws.
5. Remove the paper. Check the mesh at 3–5 different
locations around the spur gear for a small amount
of movement.
6. Reinstall the gear cover.
