SkyRC Toro Short Course 120A ESC - Manual

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing TORO, Short Course(SC), high performance
brushless motor electronic speed control. The TORO SC,brushless ESC represents a latest
technologies, providing all the features and robust design qualities.
INTRODUCTION
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
BRUSHLESS ESC FOR SHORT COURSE
For best results clean the bottom of the speed control and chassis. Peel off the cover on one
side of the doubled-sided tape, and stick to the bottom of the speed control. Peel off other
side and stick the ESC to the chassis.
Use a small piece of double-sided tape on the ON/OFF switch.
2) Soldering
TIPS & TRICKS: Place the speed control upright and use double sided tape to secure it
to the bench. Doing so provides a stable work area and allows easy access to the solder
posts.
Attaching Wires to the Speed Control:
Red wires are usually used to connect the speed control to
the positive battery terminal.
Black wire is typically used for the battery negative terminal.
Inspect the housing on the speed control next to each post
or refer to the diagrams to determine which color wire to
attach to each post.
Strip back the insulation of the wire by about 2.4mm to 3.2mm (3/32 to 1/8 and "pre-tin"
the wire by heating the end and applying solder until it is thoroughly covered.
CAUTION: Be very careful not to splash yourself with hot solder. " ")
Place the tip of the iron in the notch on top of the post and apply a small amount of solder to
the post. When the solder has flowed, remove the soldering iron, wipe the tip clean and
apply a small amount of fresh solder to it.
Pre-Heat both the wire and the post.
1)Plan Speed Control Placement
Choose a location for the speed control that is protected from debris. To prevent radio
interference place the speed control as far away from the radio receiver as possible
and keep the power wires as short as possible.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
WARNING: This is an extremely powerful brushless motor system. We strongly
recommend removing your pinion gear for your own safety and the safety of those around you
before performing calibration and programming functions with this system. Please keep your
hands, hair, cloth, clear from the gear train and wheels of an armed high performance system.
SAFETY NOTE
1/8 2/8
WATER & ELECTRONICS DON'T MIX!
Never allow water, moisture, or other foreign materials to get inside ESC, motor, or on the
PC Boards. Water damage will void the warranty!
SHORT COURSE OR SMALLER
The TORO SC is intended for4x4 Short Course or Smaller.
INSULATE WIRES
Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short
circuits, which can damage ESC.
TRANSMITTER ON FIRST
Turn on the transmitter first THEN turn on the speed control.
2 - 4 LI-PO CELLS ONLY
Never use fewer than 2 or more than 4 LIPO cells in the vehicle's main battery pack. The
TORO SC handles up to 4S LIPO input (16.8 Volts MAX).
DISCONNECT BATTERIES WHEN NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the battery pack from the speed control when not in use to avoid short
circuits and possible fire hazard.
NO REVERSE VOLTAGE!
Reverse battery polarity can damage ESC & void warranty. Disconnect battery immediately
if a reverse connection occurs.
Same techniques described in the preceding section may be used to solder the wires to the
battery or to battery connectors.
IMPORTANT: Take precautions if removing factory battery connectors. Connecting the
battery backwards will cause damage, and will void warranty. When soldering connectors to
a battery pack, cut only one wire of the battery pack at a time to ensure that the exposed
wires cannot short together.
HINT: If you are using connectors for both the battery and the motor, make sure that they
are not the same or that you have a male and a female attached to the speed control wires.
That way, you cannot accidentally connect the battery to the motor wires or vice versa.
Make sure that the connector ends will be mated together correctly, male to female, and that
the wire colors match red to red and black to black.
Hold the wire so the tinned end is in contact with the notch of the post. Now touch the iron
tip to the wire and the post. Wait about 4 seconds for the solder to flow, and then remove the
iron while still holding the wire. You may let go of the wire after a second or two when the
solder sets.
