BEC OPERATION

The Energy Sport ESCs feature an onboard BEC circuit that provides

power for the receiver and servos. Depending on the model, the BEC

is capable of supplying up to 5 amps of power. If your servos have

the ability to pull more than this current, we recommend using an

external power source. If an external power source is used, the red

positive wire on the throttle lead must be disconnected from the

receiver. You can easily lift the plastic retaining tab and slide the small

connector out of the housing. Cover this connector with electrical

tape or shrink wrap.
MOUNTING yOUR ESC

1. Choose a location that has adequate airflow to cool the ESC and

prevent overheating.

2. Mount the ESC with a combination of hook and loop tape or

double sided foam tape.

THROTTLE CALIBRATION

1. Turn on your radio and put the throttle in the full “ON” position.

2. Connect the battery pack to the ESC and wait about 2 seconds. The

motor will beep twice. Put the throttle in the minimum,

full “OFF” position and the motor will beep again. This indicates

that your ESC has established the signal range of the throttle from

your transmitter.
USING THE ESC

1. Turn on your radio and put the throttle stick in the lowest position.

2. Connect the battery pack to the ESC.
