Motor Wiring:
There is a difference between the connection of sensored brushless motor and sensorless brushless motor. Please according to the following wiring method:
A. Connect sensored brushless motor: There is strict wiring order from the ESC to the motor, the three A/B/C ESC wires must connect to the three A/B/C motor wires correspondingly. Next, connect the ESC sensor port and the motor sensor port with the stock 6-pin sensor cable. If you don’t plug the sensor cable in, your ESC will still work in sensorless mode even if you’re using a sensored motor.
Note: If the forward and backward is reversed after installing the motor, please modify “no. 1I” parameters “Motor Rotation” to change the direction.
B. Sensorless Motor Wiring: Users do not need to be worried in regards to the connectivity with the A/B/C(ESC and motor) as there is no polarity. You may find it necessary to swap two wires if the motor runs in reverse. -
Receiver Wiring:
Insert the throttle control flat cable of ESC into the throttle channel (i.e. THROTTLE channel) of the receiver. Since the red line in the flat cable outputs a 6-8.4v voltage to the receiver and steering servo. Please do not supply additional power to the receiver, otherwise, the electric adjustment may be damaged. -
Battery Wiring:
Please make sure that the (+) pole of the ESC is connected to the (+) of the battery, and the (-) pole is connected to the (-). If connect reversely, the ESC cannot startup. (Add the picture of connecting battery here.)
ESC Setup
Warning!
This is an extremely powerful system. For your safety and the safety of those
around you, we strongly recommend removing the pinion gear attached to the
motor before calibrating and setting this system. It is also advisable to keep
the wheels in the air when you turn on the ESC.
Set the throttle range
When first use the ESC or the transmitter changes the “TRIM” tune, D/R, EPA, and other parameters, the throttle range is needed to reset. We strongly recommend opening the fail-safe function of the transmitter, setting the no signal protection of the throttle channel(“F/S”) to close the output, or setting the protection value to the throttle neutral position. Thus the motor can stop running if the receiver cannot receive the signal of the transmitter. The calibrating steps of throttle is as follows:
-
Turn on the transmitter, ensure all parameters (D/R, EPA, 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. (If the transmitter is without LCD, turn the knob to the middle point).
-
Start by turning on the transmitter with the ESC turned off but connected to a battery. Holding the“SET” button then press the “ON/OFF” button, the RED LED on the ESC starts to flash (The motor beeps at the same time), and then release the “SET” button immediately.
Note: Beeps from the motor may be low sometimes, and you can check the LED status instead. -
Set the neutral point, the full-throttle endpoint, and the full brake endpoint.
• Leave transmitter at the neutral position, press the “SET” button, the RED LED dies out and 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 “SET” 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 “SET” button, the GREEN LED blinks 3 times and the motor beeps 3 times to accept the full brake endpoint.
Note:
• The end position of forwarding: Pull the trigger to the maximum throttle position if it is the pistol-style transmitter. Push the throttle to the top if it is the board-style transmitter.
• The end position of backward: Push the trigger to the maximum brake position if it is the pistol-style transmitter. Pull the throttle to the bottom if it is the board-style transmitter. -
The motor can be started 3 seconds after the ESC/Radio calibration is complete.
Power on/off and Beep illustration
- Illustration of power on/off Short press the ON/OFF key to turn on the ESC in the off state, and long-press the ON/OFF key to turn off the ESC.
- Beep illustration when turning on the ESC: When turning on ESC under normal conditions (i.e. it is started without pressing the SET key), the motor will emit several Beeps to indicate the LiPo cells. For example, “Beep, Beep, Beep” means 3S, “Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep” means 4S.
Progammable Items
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 the “Forward/Reverse with Brake” function. The vehicle
only brakes on the first time you push the throttle trigger to the
reverse/brake zone.lf the motor stops when the throttle trigger return to the
neutral zone and then re-push the trigger to the reverse zone, 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 zone and push it to reverse zone again. This method is for preventing
vehicles from being accidentally reversed.
Option 3: Forward and Reverse This mode is often used by special vehicles. The
vehicle will reverse immediately when you push the throttle triggle to the
reverse zone.
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: Lipo Cells:
Auto Calculation is the default setting. If Lipo batteries are often used with
the same cell count, we would recommend setting the Lipo cells manually to
avoid the incorrect “Calculation”(For example, the ESC may take a not fully
charged 3S Lipo as a fully 2S Lipo) , which may cause the low-voltage cutoff
protection to not function ideally.
1D: Cutoff Voltage:
The ESC will monitor the battery voltage all the time, once the voltage is
lower than the threshold value, the ESC will reduce the power to 50% instantly
and cut off the power output in 40 seconds. When enters voltage protection,
the RED LED will single flash that repeats (, , ). Please set the “Cutoff
Voltage” to “Disabled” or customized protection threshold value 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. It is suggested to set to “Disabled”(But the
battery would be damaged due to overcharged)
Option 2: Auto The ESC calculates the corresponding cutoff voltage as per the
number of LiPo cells it detects and the “3.5V/cell” rule. For example, if the
ESC detects a 4S, the cutoff voltage protection threshold value is
3.5×4=14.0V.
Option 3: Customized The customized cutoff threshold is a voltage for the
whole battery pack (adjustable from 5.0V to 20.4V). Please calculate the value
as per the number of LiPo cells you are using. For example, when you use a 4S
and you want the cutoff voltage for each cell is 3.0V, you will need to set
this item to 12V (3.04)
1E: 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 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.
1 F: Motor Thermal Protection:
The GREEN LED flashes when the motor temperature reaches 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
motors, the ESC may get this protection activated too early/late because of
the different temperature sensors inside the motor. In this case, please
disable this function and monitor the motor temperature manually.
1G: BEC Voltage:
BEC voltage can be adjusted between 6.0-8.4V. 6.0V is applicable to the common
servo. If use high-voltage servo, set to higher voltage according to voltage
marking of the servo. Warning: The setting BEC voltage should not be higher
than the max. the voltage of common servo, otherwise it will damage the servo
or ESC.
1H: Sensor Mode:
Option 1: Full Sensored If use the XERUN 4268/74-G2/G3 motor, it can be set to
full sensor mode. The power system will work in the “sensored” mode at all
times. The efficiency and drivability of this mode is at the highest. And
Boosts Turbo timing can be used and get erupting power. Option 2:
Sensored/Sensorless Hybrid This is a universal driving mode of the current 1:8
power system. The ESC operates the motor in sensored mode during the low-speed
start-up process, followed by switching to operating the motor in the
“sensorless” mode when the RPM is increased.
1I: Motor Rotation:
With the motor shaft facing 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 designs. In that case, you only need to
set the “Motor Rotation/Direction” to “CW”.
1J: Phase-AC Swap:
If the NC wire of ESC connects to NC wire of motor with the 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. It can be adjustable from
1 to 30 (step: 1), the lower the throttle rate, the more the limit will be on
the throttle response. A suitable rate can help the driver to control his
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 Curve:
The throttle curve parameter reconciles the position of the throttle trigger
(in throttle zone) and the actual ESC throttle output. It is linear by default
and we can change it to non-linear via adjusting the throttle curve. For
example, if adjust it to +EXP, the throttle output at the early stage will be
higher (than the output when the curve is linear); if it is adjusted to —EXP,
the throttle output at the early stage will be lower (than the output when the
curve is linear.
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 is also called minimum throttle force. You can set it according to wheel
tire and traction. If the ground is slippery, please set a small throttle
force.
2E: Coast:
The RPM of the motor will be lowered gradually when the throttle is reduced.
The vehicle will not reduce speed abruptly when the throttle is reduced to
return to the neutral position. The bigger the value, the more the “COAST”
will be felt. For example, a COAST of 0 deactivates, and a COAST of 20% would
be the maximum amount of COAST. The advantages of COAST: When a vehicle has a
larger final drive ratio, the tendency of having a “drag” feeling 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” will be void (even if you set it to any value
besides 0) if the above “drag brake” is not “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 (which ranges from 2K to 32K) 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 milder the bottom end. In the 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 makes it hard to control at
the corners, so HOBBYWING creates this softening function to solve the issue.
2H: Softening Range:
It’s the range to which “Softening Value” starts and ends. For example, 0% to
30% will be generated when the user pre-programs the “Softening Range” at a
value of 30%.
2I: RPM Limit:
It is used to set the max. RPM value of the motor. Set corresponding values
according to the motor and competition rules. Note: The rpm limit value here
is the rpm corresponding to the 2 pole motor, when using a 4 pole motor (such
as 4268 motors), the corresponding rpm shall be divided by 2.
3A: Drag Brake Force:
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.
3B: Max. Brake Force:
This ESC provides a proportional braking function; the braking effect is
decided by the position of the throttle trigger. It sets the percentage of
available braking power when the full brake is applied. A large amount will
shorten the braking time but it may damage your pinion and spur.
3C: Initial Brake Force:
It is also known as “minimum brake force”. It is the force when pushing the
throttle trigger from the neutral zone to the initial brake position. To get a
smoother braking effect, the default is equal to the drag brake.
3D: Brake Rate Control:
It’s adjustable from 1 to 20 (step: 1), the lower the brake rate, the more
limit on the brake response. 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 Curve:
This item is used for regulating the relationship between the throttle range
in the braking zone and the brake force. The default setting is linear. You
can change it to non-linear via an LCD program box and a PC (HOBBYWING USB
LINK software needs to be installed on the PC.) for different braking effects.
3F: 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
(which ranges from OK to 16K) at any 0-100% throttle input, please choose the
frequencies as per the actual test results of your vehicles.
4A: Boost Timing:
It is effective within the whole throttle range; it directly affects the car
speed on the straightaway and winding courses. The ESC adjusts the timing
dynamically as per the throttle amount in the operation. The Boost Timing is
not constant but variable.
5A: Turbo Timing:
This item is adjustable from 0 degrees to 48 degrees, the corresponding turbo
timing (you set) will initiate at full throttle. It’s usually activated on the
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
another 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 (deg / 0.1sec):
This item is used to define the “speed” at which Turbo Timing is released when
the trigger condition is met. For example, “6 dogs / 0.1sec” refers to the
Turbo Timing of 6 degrees that will be released in 0.1 seconds. Both the
acceleration and heat are higher when the “Turbo increase rate” is of a larger
value.
5D: Turbo Decrease Rate (deg/0.1sec):
After the Turbo Timing is activated and the trigger condition turns out 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 out 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 the 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 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 Timing and FDR may cause your ESC or motor to be
burnt. Note: Parameters 5A-5D only has a function when you set the “Drive
Mode” to “Full Sensored”.
Preset modes
In order to make one firmware applicable to all different racing conditions,
there are 5 groups of preset modes in the ESC. Users are able to change the
settings of the modes provided and match suitable gear ratio. Plug-and-screw.
Users can change the settings as per the control feel, track, and rename the
setting mode. For example, the name can be changed from “1/8 Off-Road” to
“NC2020-1900” to indicate the NC2020 uses 1900KV. This can be saved for future
reference as well.
Preset Modes for Different Racing:
Model # | Modes/Profiles | Applications |
---|---|---|
1 | Zero Timing | Applicable for various STOCK Racing that the ESC must use Zero |
Timing (Blinky Mode)
2| 1/8 Off-Road| Applicable for 1/8 Off-Road / Truck Racing
3| 1/8 On-Road| Applicable 1/8 On-Road Racing
4| 1/8 GT| Applicable 1/8 GT Racing
