This is an extremely powerful brushless motor system. For your safety and the safety of those around you, we strongly recommend removing the pinion gear attached to the motor before performing calibration and programming functions with this system. It is also advisable to keep the wheels in the air when you turn on the ESC.

Motor Connetion
- Sensored motor connection MUST connect A from the ESC to A on the motor, B to B, and C to C, with the sensor wire connected any variation of the motor to ESC connections may cause damage.
- Note: If the motor direction is reversed, change the parameter item “Motor Rotation” to achieve the correct setting.
Receiver Connetion
- The throttle control cable on the ESC has to be plugged into the throttle (TH) channel on the receiver.
- The throttle control cable has an output voltage of 5-7.4V to the receiver and steering servo, hence, no separate battery can be connected to the receiver.
- Otherwise, your ESC may be damaged.If additional power is required, disconnect the red wire on the throttle plug from the ESC.
Battery Connetion
- Proper polarity is essential. Please ensure positive (+) connects to positive (+), and negative (-) connects to negative (-) when plugging in the battery!
- When reverse polarity is applied to the ESC from the battery, the external standard cappack will be damaged.

ESC SETUP

Set the Throttle Range – ESC Calibration Process
You must calibrate throttle range when you begin to use a new ESC, the transmitter has been replaced,or the Throttle TRIM have been adjusted, otherwise the ESC cannot work correctly. We strongly recommend users to use the “Fail Safe” function on the radio system and set (F/S) to “Output OFF” or “Neutral Position”.The throttle calibration steps are below:
Turn on the transmitter, ensure all parameters (D/R, Curve, ATL) on the throttle channel are at default (100%). For transmitter without LCD, please turn the knob to the maximum, and the throttle “TRIM” to 0. Please also turn the corresponding knob to the neutral position. This step can be skipped if the radio’s settings are default.
Start by turning on the transmitter with the ESC turned off but connected to a battery. Holding the “ON/OFF” button, the RED LED on the ESC starts to flash (the motor beeps at the same time), and then release the ON/OFF button.

    *  **Note:** Beeps from the motor may be low sometimes, and you can check the LED status instead.![HOBBYWING-XERUN-XR10-Pro-WP-Brushless-Electronic-Speed-Controller-FIG-1 \(3\)](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/HOBBYWING-XERUN-XR10-Pro-WP-Brushless-Electronic-Speed-Controller-FIG-1-3.png)
  3. Set the neutral point, the full throttle endpoint and the full brake endpoint.
    * Leave transmitter at the neutral position, press the “ON/OFF” button, the GREEN LED flashes 1 time and the motor beeps 1 time to accept the neutral position.
    * Pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle position, press the “ON/OFF” button, the GREEN LED blinks 2 times and the motor beeps 2 times to accept the full throttle endpoint.
    * Push the throttle trigger to the full brake position, press the “ON/OFF” button, the GREEN LED blinks 3 times and the motor beeps 3 times to accept the full brake endpoint.
  4. The motor can be started 3 seconds after the ESC/Radio calibration is complete.

POWER ON/OFF
- Short press the power button to turn on the ESC in the off state, and long press the power button to turn off the ESC.
- Attention! To prevent accidental shutdown in racing, pressing the power button cannot shut down the esc while the motor is running,if there is an emergency, battery plugs can be pulled out to turn off the ESC.

Brake Control

Timing

Note: Item 4C (Boost Start RPM) & item 4D (Boost End RPM) are not programmable if item 4B (Timing Activation) is set to “Auto”.
1A. Running Mode
Option 1: Forward with Brake
Racing mode. It has only forward and brake functions.
Option 2: Forward/ Reverse with Brake
This option is known to be the “training” mode with “Forward/ Reverse with Brake” functions. The vehicle only brakes on the first time you push the throttle trigger to the reverse/brake position.If the motor stops when the throttle trigger return to the neutral position and then re-push the trigger to reverse position,the vehicle will reverse,if the motor does not completely stop,then your vehicle won’t reverse but still brake,you need to return the throttle trigger to the neutral position and push it to reverse again.This method is for preventing vehicle from being accidentally reversed.
Option 3: Forward and Reverse
The motor will reverse immediately when the throttle trigger is pushed to reverse position.This mode is generally used in special vehicles.
1B. Max. Reverse Force
The reverse force of the value will determine its speed. For the safety of your vehicle, we recommend using a low amount.
1C. Cutoff Voltage
Sets the voltage at which the ESC lowers or removes power to the motor in order to either keep the battery at a safe minimum voltage (for LiPo batteries). The ESC monitors the battery voltage all the time, it will immediately reduce the power to 50% (in 2 seconds) and cut off the output 40 seconds later when the voltage goes below the cutoff threshold. The RED LED will flash a short, single flash that repeats (☆, ☆, ☆) to indicate the low-voltage cutoff protection is activated. Please set the “Cutoff Voltage” to “Disabled” or customize this item if you are using NiMH batteries.
Option 1: Disabled
The ESC does not cut the power off due to low voltage. We do not recommend using this option when you use any LiPo battery as you will irreversibly damage the product. You need to select this option when you are using a NiMH pack.
Option 2: Auto
The ESC calculates the corresponding cutoff voltage for the battery shall be 7.0V.
Option 3: Customized
The customized cutoff threshold is a voltage for the whole battery pack (adjustable from 3.0V to 7.4V).
1D. ESC Thermal Protection
The output from the ESC will be cut off with the value you have preset.
The GREEN LED flashes (☆, ☆, ☆) when the ESC temperature reaches to the preset value. The output will not resume until the ESC temperature gets down.
Warning! Please do not disable this function unless you’re in a competition. Otherwise the high temperature may damage your ESC and even your motor.
1E. Motor Thermal Protection
The GREEN LED flashes (☆☆, ☆☆, ☆☆) when the motor temperature reaches to the preset value. The output will not resume until the motor temperature gets down.
Warning! Please do not disable this function unless you’re in a competition. Otherwise the high temperature may damage your motor and even your ESC. For non-Hobbywing motor, the ESC may
get this protection activated too early/late because of the different temperature sensor inside the motor. In this case, please disable this function and monitor the motor temperature manually.
1F. BEC Voltage
BEC voltage can be adjusted between 5.0-7.4V.Set a reasonable value according to the working voltage of the servo.
1G. Smart Fan:
This esc has a fan control function. If this item is set to “Disabled”, the fan will continue to run after the ESC is powered on; If this item is set to “Enabled”, The fan will start running after the internal temperature of
the esc exceeds 50℃/122℉.
1H. Remote Off
Option 1: Enabled
Users can simply push and hold the brake trigger for 6 seconds. This option allows the user to turn off the ESC without pushing the ON/OFF button switch.
Option 2: Disabled
Users must turn off the ESC by pressing the ON/OFF switch button from the ESC.
1I. Motor Rotation/Direction
With the motor shaft faces you (the rear end of the motor is away from you), increase the throttle input, the motor (shaft) will rotate in the CCW/CW direction if the “Motor Rotation / Direction” set to “CCW/CW”.
Generally, the vehicle runs forward when the motor (shaft) rotates in the CCW direction. However, some vehicles only run forward when the motor rotates in the CW direction due to the different chassis design.
In that case, you only need to set the “Motor Rotation/Direction” to “CW).
1J. Phase-AC Swap
If the A/C wire of ESC connect to A/C wire of motor with crossed way (A wire of ESC connects to C wire of motor, C wire of ESC connects to A wire), set this item as Enable.
Warning! When #A/#B/#C wire of ESC connect to #A/#B/#C wire of motor correspondingly, do not Set to Enable. Otherwise it will damage the ESC and motor.
2A. Throttle Rate Control
This item is used to control the throttle response. The higher the throttle rate,the more aggressive the throttle will be applied. A suitable rate can help driver to control the vehicle properly during the starting-up process.
Generally, you can set it to a high value to have a quick throttle response if you are proficient at throttle control.
2B. Throttle Curvature
This parameter is used to set the throttle curve. The larger the curvature setting,the more aggressive the throttle will be applied in the previous stage; the smaller the curvature setting, the softer the throttle will be applied in the previous stage.
As shown in the schematic diagram of the curve on the right.
2C. Neutral Range
As not all transmitters have the same stability at “neutral position”, please adjust this parameter as per your preference. You can adjust to a bigger value when this happens.
2D. Initial Throttle Force
It also called as minimum throttle force. You can set it according to wheel tire and traction. If the ground is slippery, please set a small throttle force.
Some motors have strong cogging effect with lower FDR, if there is any cogging with very light throttle input,you can try to increase the initial throttle force.
2E. Coast
This function allows the motor to naturally and smoothly reduce rpm/speed,and the vehicle will not experience sudden deceleration during the throttle release process.The higher the value,the stronger the “coasting” feeling.
What is COAST? When a vehicle has a larger final drive ratio, the tendency of having a “drag” feel is higher. The “COAST” technology is to allow the car to roll (coast) even when the final drive ratio is high. The Coast function brings better and smoother control feeling to racers. Some drivers will refer to this to the traditional brushed motors.
Note: The Coast setting will not work if the drag brake is not set to 0%.
2F. PWM Drive Frequency
The acceleration will be more aggressive at the initial stage when the drive frequency is low; a higher drive frequency is smoother but this will create more heat to the ESC.
If set this item to “Customized”, then the PWM frequency can be adjusted to a variable value at any 0-100% throttle input, Please choose the frequencies as per the actual test results of your vehicles.
2G. Softening Value
It allows users to fine-tune the bottom end, change the driving feel, and maximize the driving efficiency at different track conditions. The higher the “Softening Value “, the softer the bottom end. In Modified class, drivers often feel the power of the bottom end is too aggressive. Little throttle input usually brings too much power to the car and make it hard to control at the corners, this is HOBBYWING’s solution to help bottom end traction.
Note: You can increase the motor mechanical timing accordingly after you set the softening value. Every time you increase the softening value by 5 degrees, you can increase the mechanical timing by 1 degree.
For example, if you set the softening value to 20 degrees, then you can increase the mechanical timing by 4 degrees. Please note that you will never increase the mechanical timing by over 5 degrees.
2H. Softening Range
It’s the range to which “Softening Value” starts and ends. If set to 30% then the softening range will be from 0 throttle to 30% throttle.
3A. Drag Brake
It is the braking power produced when releasing from full speed to neutral position. This is to simulate the slight braking effect of a neutral brushed motor while coasting. It’s not recommended for buggy and monster truck.
( Attention! Drag brake will consume more power and heat will be increased, use it cautiously.)
3B. Drag Brake Rate
This parameter is used to control the speed of the drag-brake response. Setting a suitable value can improve the drag braking effect of the vehicle, thus, improving drivability to suit each users.
The value can be adjusted up to 20 levels. Increasing the value will result in a greater drag brake effect. The other “Auto” option is available as well to choose from.
“Auto” will intelligently adjust the drag brake acceleration according to the current speed.
The faster the current speed, the smaller the drag brake rate, vice versa.
3C. Max. Brake Force
This ESC provides proportional braking function; the braking effect is decided by the position of the throttle trigger. It sets the percentage of available braking power when full brake is applied. Large amount will shorten the braking time but it may damage your pinion and spur.
3D. Brake Rate Control
It’s adjustable from 1 to 20 (step: 1), The larger the setting value, the greater the brake rate, that is, the faster the braking. A suitable rate can aid the driver to brake his vehicle correctly. Generally, you can set it to a high value to have a quick brake response.
3E. Brake Frequency
The brake force will be larger if the frequency is low; you will get a smoother brake force when the value is higher.If set this item to “Customized”, then the brake frequency can be adjusted to a variable value at any 0-100% throttle input, Please choose the frequencies as per the actual test results of your vehicles.
3F. Brake Control
Option 1: Linear
Hobbywing has recommended using this mode under all circumstances. The braking effect is a bit weaker in this mode than in Traditional brake mode, but it’s easy to control and brings great control feel.
Option 2: Traditional
This is a traditional brake method, just like the previous escs, the brake force is stronger.
Option 3: Hybrid
The ESC switches the brake mode between Linear and Traditional as per the vehicle speed to prevent the slide (between tires and track) from affecting the braking effect.
Note: Please select the right mode for your vehicle as per the track condition, motor performance, and etc.
4A. Boost Timing
It is effective within the whole throttle range; it directly affects the car speed on straightaway and turns.
The ESC adjusts the timing dynamically as per the RPM (when “Boost Timing Activation” set to “RPM”) or throttle amount (when “Boost Timing Activation” set to “Auto”) in the operation. The Boost Timing is not constant but variable.
4B. Boost Timing Activation
Option 1 : RPM
In RPM mode, the ESC adjusts the Boost Timing dynamically as per the motor speed (RPM). The actual Boost Timing is 0 when the RPM is lower than the Boost Start RPM. The Boost Timing changes as per the
RPM when the RPM change is between the Boost Start RPM and the Boost End RPM. For example, if the Boost Timing is set to 5 degrees and the Boost Start RPM is 10000, the Boost End RPM is 15000. The
Boost Timing corresponds to different RPM is shown below. When the RPM is higher than the Boost End RPM, the actual Boost Timing is the value you had previously set.
RPM (Motor Speed)| <10000| 10001-11000| 11001-12000| 12001-13000| 13001-14000| 14001-15000| >15000
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Actual Boost Timing| 0 Degree| 1 Degree| 2 Degrees| 3 Degrees| 4 Degrees| 5 Degrees| 5 Degrees
Option 2: Auto
In Auto mode, the ESC adjusts the Boost Timing dynamically as per the throttle amount. Only at full throttle, the actual Boost Timing is the value you had previously set.
4C. Boost Start RPM
This item defines the RPM at which Boost Timing is activated. For example, when the Boost Start RPM is set to 5000, the ESC will activate the corresponding Boost Timing when the RPM goes above 5000.
The specific value is determined by the Boost Timing and the Boost End RPM you had previously set.
4D. Boost End RPM
This item defines the RPM at which Boost Timing (you specifically set) is applied. For example, when Boost Timing is set to 10 degrees and the Boost End RPM to 15000, the ESC will activate the Boost Timing of 10 degrees when the RPM goes above 15000. The ESC will adjust the Boost Timing accordingly as per the actual RPM when the RPM goes below 15000.
5A. Turbo Timing
This item is adjustable from 0 degree to 64 degrees, the corresponding turbo timing (you set) will initiate at full throttle. It’s usually activated on long straightaway and makes the motor unleash its maximum potential.
5B. Turbo Delay
When “TURBO DELAY” is set to “INSTANT”, the Turbo Timing will be activated right after the throttle trigger is moved to the full throttle position. When other value(s) is applied, you will need to hold the throttle trigger at the full throttle position (as you set) till the Turbo Timing initiates.
5C. Turbo Increase Rate
This item is used to define the “speed” at which Turbo Timing is released when the trigger condition is met. For example, “3 degs/0.1sec” refers to the Turbo Timing of 3 degrees that will be released in 0.1 second. Both the acceleration and heat is higher when the “Turbo increase rate” is of a larger value.
5D. Turbo Decrease Rate
After the Turbo Timing is activated and the trigger condition turns to not be met (i.e. vehicle slows down at the end of the straightaway and gets into a corner, full throttle turns to partial throttle, the trigger condition for Turbo Timing turns to be not met), if you disable all the Turbo Timing in a moment, an obvious slow-down like braking will be felt and cause the control of vehicle to become bad. If the ESC can disable the Turbo Timing at some “speed”, the slow-down will be linear and the control will be improved.
Warning！ Boost Timing & Turbo Timing can effectively improve the motor efficiency; they are usually used in competitions. Please take some time to read this manual and then set these two items carefully, monitor the ESC & motor temperatures when you have a trial run and then adjust the Timing and FDR accordingly as aggressive Timings and FDR may cause your ESC or motor to be burnt.

PRESET MODES
- In order to make one firmware applicable to all different racing conditions, there are nine “easy-to-select” preset modes (as shown below). Users are able to change the settings of the modes provided (and rename those modes) as per the control feel, track, and etc. For example, the name can be changed from “Modify” to “TITI2019_MOD_4.5” to indicate the race was ran with a 4.5T motor at 2019 TITC. This can be saved for future reference as well.

EXPLANATION FOR LED STATUS

During the Start-up Process
- The RED LED turns on solid indicating the ESC doesn’t detect any throttle signal or the throttle trigger is at the neutral position.
- The GREEN LED flashes rapidly indicating the neutral throttle value stored on your ESC may be different from the current value stored on the transmitter. When this happens, re-calibrate the throttle range.
In Operation
- The RED LED turns on solid and the GREEN LED dies out when the throttle trigger is in the throttle neutral zone. The RED LED will blink meet the Zero Timing competition rules. if the total value of Boost Timing and Turbo timing is 0.
- The RED LED dies out and the GREEN LED blinks when your vehicle runs forward. The GREEN LED turns solid when pulling the throttle trigger to the full (100%) throttle endpoint.
- The RED LED dies out and the GREEN LED blinks when you brake your vehicle. The GREEN LED turns solid when pushing the throttle trigger to the full brake endpoint and setting the “maximum brake force” to 100%.
- The RED LED dies out, the GREEN LED blinks when you reverse your vehicle. The GREEN LED turns solid when pushing the throttle trigger to the full brake endpoint and setting the “reverse force” to 100%.
When Some Protection is Activated
- The RED LED flashes a short, single flash and repeats “☆, ☆, ☆” indicating the low voltage cutoff protection is activated.
- The GREEN LED flashes a short, single flash and repeats “☆, ☆, ☆” indicating the ESC thermal protection is activated.
- The GREEN LED flashes a short, double flash and repeats “☆☆, ☆☆, ☆☆” indicating the motor thermal protection is activated.
- The RED & GREEN LEDS flash a short, single flash and repeats “☆, ☆, ☆” at the same time indicating the drive mode has been automatically switched to sensorless mode from senored mode because of abnormal sensor signal when pairing the ESC with a sensored motor.
