OPTIONAL CARD

SILVER SERIES PROGRAMMING

CARD – GPMM1895

Several features in the SS-60 and SS-80 ESCs can be
adjusted by using an optional Silver Series Programming Card
(GPMM1895), such as brake (ON or OFF), motor rotation
direction (forward or reverse), timing angle (12 or 20 degrees),
operating frequency (8kHz or 16kHz), or custom setting of the
low battery cutoff voltage (5.6-37.0V). It is not necessary to
have the Programming Card in order to use the basic features
of the SS-60 and SS-80 ESCs. See your local retailer for details
on how to get the Silver Series Programming Card.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

T

Problem - Motor and Rx do not work: Make sure the motor
battery is fully charged. Make sure good contact is being made
between the motor battery and ESC, and from the ESC to the
receiver. Try powering the receiver directly from a separate Rx
battery…if the receiver now works, the problem may be the
ESC and requires servicing.

Problem - The ESC functions but can’t be controlled: Make
sure the ESC is plugged into the receiver’s throttle slot. Make
sure the Tx is properly adjusted.

Problem - The receiver glitches or stutters while the motor
is running:
The receiver or its antenna is mounted too closely
to the ESC, motor battery, or power wires. Make sure all
electrical connections fi t snugly.

Problem - The motor stops after only a few minutes of
rotation, but all other surfaces in the aircraft can still be
controlled:
The propeller might be too large, causing high
current draw, and the ESC’s temperature protection function
is stopping motor rotation automatically. Make sure the motor
is not damaged (bent shaft, tight bearing, etc.) causing high
current draw. The ESC may need more cooling air fl owing over
it. Are too many servos being used in the model, or servos which
are drawing too much power? Refer to the last paragraph in
STEP 6 and determine if something has obstructed the normal
rotation of the motor, or if the ESC has deliberately stopped
motor rotation and needs to be reset manually.

SERVICE PROCEDURES

S

ESCs that operate normally when received by Hobby Services
will be charged a minimum service fee and return shipping
charges. Before sending your ESC in for service, it is important
that you review the “Troubleshooting Guide” on this instruction
sheet. The ESC may appear to have failed when other problems
exist in the system – such as a defective transmitter, receiver
or servo, or incorrect adjustments/installation.

● Hobby dealers are not authorized to replace ESCs

thought to be defective.

● Do not cut the input wires of the ESC before sending

it for service. A fee will be charged for cut wires which
must be replaced for testing.
