Battery Wire Connection
When connecting the battery, pay attention to polarity: incorrect connection will damage the ESC. (The battery is not
covered by the warranty.)
As shown in the figure above, connect the positive (+) wire is connected to (+) battery port, and the negative (-) wire
is connected to the (-) battery port.
Receiver Wire Connection
Before connecting the ESC to the receiver, the transmitter should be in default settings. See Transmitter Settings.
Connect the ESC throttle wire to the receiver CH2. The signal wire has a white indicator. The signal wire supplies
6-7.4V to the receiver, servo, etc., so there is no need to connect an additional battery. External power connected to
the receiver may damage the ESC.
Fan Connector
A cooling fan, screws and fan protector are provided per the ESC specification. It is recommended using the fan under
the extreme situations, such as modified or 4WD off-road. The fan will not operate if the ESC temperature is at or
below 95°F (35°C) or if the motor RPM is low.
Connect the fan using 2-pin connector at the front of the ESC. Mount the fan to the top of the heat sink.
5. Connection Install Guide
Place the ESC in a safe place where is easily accessible to connector and buttons.
Leave enough distance between the ESC, power wire and antenna/receiver to avoid the parts directly touching.
Receivers and antennas placed too close together may result in signal confusion. Parts must be re-install at a
further distance apart.
Tightly affix the ESC with double-sided tape (included).
6. Transmitter Settings
Before connecting the ESC to the receiver, the transmitter should be in default settings, as shown in below:
Disconnect the ESC from the battery. Turn the ESC power switch OFF.
Remove the motor pinion, or lift the car off the ground and verify the wheels rotate freely.
Turn the transmitter ON and place the throttle in NEUTRAL.
