Product Information

The TORO TS50 50A Sensored ESC is a high-performance electronic speed controller designed for use with 1/10 scale cars. It supports both sensor and sensor-less brushless motors and is capable of handling 4-6 cells NiMH or 2S cells LiPo batteries. The ESC comes with safety features such as short circuit protection and a power switch to prevent over discharge of the battery when not in use.
The product also comes with an instruction manual that provides detailed information on usage, safety precautions, and calibration instructions.

Product Usage Instructions

Safety Precautions: Always disconnect the battery pack when not in use to avoid short circuits and possible fire hazards. The ESC can support 4-6 cells NiMH or 2S cells LiPo battery. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in damage to the product.
Preparation: 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. Select a location that has good airflow ventilating. Use double-sided tape to mount the speed control in the vehicle (do not use CA glue).
Connection: Connect the motor sensor harness to ESC by inserting the 6 pin connector on the end of the motor’s sensor wires into ESC’s sensor harness socket. Connect Throttle lead to ESC and other end to the Receiver (Throttle Channel, Ch2). Connect the motor and the ESC. Connect ESC to battery pack.
ESC Calibration: Calibration is necessary for the first time use of the ESC or whenever used with a new/different transmitter. Hold full throttle and press the ESC switch once, the green LED will blink twice then extinguish and the motor will ring twice like beep-beep which indicates the full throttle has been set. Move the throttle trigger to full brake and hold full brake, press the ESC switch once, the green LED will blink three times then extinguish and the motor will ring three times like beep-beep-beep which indicates the full brake has been set. After the calibration is finished, keep the throttle in neutral position, the red LED is blinking, the ESC and the motor is ready to work.
ESC ON/OFF and LED Indicator: When the ESC is OFF, press the switch once, the red LED will blink, and the ESC is ready to work. When the ESC is on, press the switch once, the LED will extinguish and the ESC is OFF. After running at full load, the ESC will be very hot. In this case, please turn off the ESC after it cools down. When the motor is running, the ESC can’t be powered off by pressing the switch; when the motor stops working, the ESC can be powered off. In an emergency, please disconnect the battery to power off the ESC.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing TORO TS50 50A Sensored ESC. Please read the Instruction Manual thoroughly before you use the product. These operating instructions are designed to ensure that you quickly become familiar with its features and functions and make full use of this product.

SAFETY NOTE

It is not a toy and suitable for users older than 14 years old.
Never allow water, moisture, oil or other foreign materials to get inside ESC, motor, or on the PC Boards. It may damage the ESC completely.
Never disassemble the ESC and modify the components on the PC Boards.
Never solder one part for more than 5 seconds as some components will get damaged by high temperature.
Never run the ESC without load at full throttle and it may damage the bearings and other moving parts.
Please make sure the location where to fix the ESC has good airflow ventilating so that the heat could dissipate quickly.
To avoid short circuit, please keep the ESC connectors far away from other metal parts. Never connect the battery in polarity in reverse.
Please remove the pinion gear before performing calibration and programming functions with this system. Please keep your hands, hair, cloth, clear from the gear train and wheels
Before you switch on the ESC, please make sure all the cables are well solder with the connectors (It is easy to get loose when running) . What’s more, make sure the cables not touch the moving parts.
To avoid signal interference, please always turn on the transmitter first THEN turn on the speed control. Do the opposite when powering it off.
Never use faulty accessories, e.g. faulty motor which may damage the ESC. Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits, which can damage ESC too.
Always disconnect the battery pack from the speed control when not in use to avoid short circuits and possible fire hazard. When the ESC is switched off, there is still small current and it may cause over discharge of the battery after some time.
This ESC can support 4-6 cells NiMH or 2S cells LiPo battery.

Note:
We will not be responsible for any damage caused by non-compliance with above instruction.

PREPARATION

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. Select a location that has good airflow ventilating. If the ESC gets air flow, it will run cooler; and that means it will be more efficient.
Mount Speed Control in Vehicle
Use double-sided tape to mount the speed control in vehicle (do not use CA glue).
Soldering
Cut the ESC’s BLUE, YELLOW & ORANGE silicone motor power wires to the desired length and strip about 3.2mm-6.35mm (1/8”-1/4”) of insulation from the end of each wire. “Pre-tin”the wire by heating the end and applying solder until it is thoroughly covered. CAUTION: By very careful not to splash yourself with hot solder.
Place the ESC’s BLUE Phase ‘A’ motor wire onto motor’s ‘A’ solder tab and solder. Use soldering iron to apply heat to exposed wire; begin adding solder to tip of soldering iron and wire. Add just enough solder to form a clean and continuous joint from the plated area of the solder tab up onto the wire. Solder the ESC’s YELLOW Phase‘B’ motor wire to the motor’s ‘B’ solder tab and Solder the ESC’s ORANGE Phase ‘C’ motor wire to motor’s ‘C’ solder tab.

CONNECTION

Connect the motor sensor harness to ESC. Insert the 6 pin connector on the end of the motor’s sensor wires into ESC’s sensor harness socket.
Connect Throttle lead to ESC and other end to the Receiver (Throttle Channel, Ch2) Connect the motor and the ESC.
Connect ESC to battery pack.

ESC CALIBRATION
