Receiver installation & connection

Installation

To achieve full operating range with your radio system it is critical that the receiver antenna be undamaged and installed properly. It should be installed with as much of the antenna as possible in a vertical position. The end of the antenna should be contained inside an antenna tube. When installing:

Ensure there are no kinks in the antenna or antenna tube.
Never fold the end of the antenna over the tube, this will reduce the operating range of the system and damage the antenna.
Ensure the receiver is mounted securely or padded against hard impacts.

Pairing the transmitter & receiver

Turn on the receiver power. Press the SW switch.The receiver’s LED should start flashing.
Turn on the transmitter.
When the LED on the receiver becomes solid,the binding process is completed.

Note: Radio systems installed in RTRs have already been paired. Only when installing a new transmitter or receiver is the above process necessary.

Operation

Push the trigger forward to slow down or brake.
Pull the trigger backward to accelerate.

Fail safe function setting

Turn on the TX, keep the throttle at the fail safe point, press the SW button on the receiver for about 2 seconds. The LED should flash for 5 seconds, release the SW button and TH trigger, then turn off the TX.

General care

Always use clean, dry cloth or soft bristle brush to clean your equipment.
Never use chemical cleansers, as these could damage the sensitive electronics and plastics.

ESC setup

Attention: The incorrect polarity will damage the ESC immediately.

Connect the ESC, motor, receiver, battery and servo according to the following diagram
Ensure that the + and – wires of the ESC are connected to the battery pack.
The control cable of the ESC is connected to the throttle channel of the ESC (Usually CH2).
The motor + and motor – cables are connected to the motor in any order, if the motor runs in reverse, reverse the cables.
Set the Transmitter
Please set the “D/R”, “EPA” and “ATL” to 100% for throttle channel (for transmitter without LCD, please turn the knobs to the maximum value), and set the “TRIM” of the throttle channel to 0 (for transmitter without LCD, please turn the TRIM knob to its neutral position). For Futaba TM and the similar transmitters, the direction of throttle channel shall be set to “REV”, while other radio systems shall be set to “NOR”. The “Fail Save” function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated. Please make sure that the motor can be stopped when the “Fail Save” happens.
Throttle Range Setting (Throttle Range Calibration)
In order to make the ESC match the throttle range of different transmitters, the calibration of the ESC is necessary. To calibrate the ESC, please turn on the transmitter, keep throttle stick at its neutral position, wait for 3 seconds to let the ESC execute self-test and automatic throttle calibration. When the ESC is ready to run, a long beep sound is emitted from the motor.

Note: Please calibrate the throttle range again when using a new transmitter or changing the settings of the neutral position of throttle channel, D/R, ATV, ATL or EPA parameters,otherwise the ESC may not work properly.

2. Over-heat protection: When the internal temperature of the ESC is higher than 100 Celsius degree or 212 Fahrenheit degree for 5 seconds, the ESC will reduce and cut off the output power.
When the car stops, the red LED blinks to indicate the over-heat protection has been activated. If the ESC cools down to 80 Celsius degree (176 Fahrenheit degree) the output power is recovered to normal state.

Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will cut off the output power if the throttle signal has been lost for 0.1 second. The “Fail Save” function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated.

Troubleshooting

The motor suddenly stops running while in working state.The throttle signal is lost.The model cannot reach its maximum speed and the red LED does not become solid at full throttle.The transmitter is improperly setup.Motor is cogging when accelerated quickly.The battery has limited discharge ability.

Fault	Possible Reason	Drivetrain fault Solution
After power on, motor doesn’t function, no sound is emitted and LED is off.

The ESC isn’t receiving enough voltage or the connection between the battery pack and ESC is broken.| Check the battery wires connection or replace the defective connectors.
Switch is damaged.| Replace the switch.
After power on, motor doesn’t function; red LED blinks.| Throttle signal is abnormal.| Check the throttle wire connection; make sure it is plugged into the throttle channel of the receiver.
Automatic throttle calibration has failed.| Set the “TRIM” of throttle channel to 0 or turn the knob to its neutral position.
The model reverses when throttle is given ( the motor runs in the opposite direction).| The wire connections between ESC and the motor need to be changed.| Swap two wire connections between the ESC and the motor.
The model does not reverse.| The jumper position is wrong.| Check the jumper and plug it to the correct position.
The neutral point of throttle channel is changed or drifted.| Set the “TRIM” of throttle channel to 0 or turn the knob to its neutral position.
The model only reverses.| The direction of throttle channel is not correct.| Reset the direction of throttle channel from original “NOR” to “REV”, or from original “REV” to “NOR”.
The motor doesn’t work, but the LED in the ESC works normally.| The connections between motor and ESC are broken.| Check the connections and replace the defective connectors.
Motor is damaged.| Replace the motor.
Check the transmitter and the receiver. Check the throttle wire connection.
Low voltage cut-off protection or Over-heat cut-off protection has been activated.| Replace the battery pack, or cool down the ESC.
Check the settings. Set D/R, EPA, ATL to 100% or turn the knobs to maximum value. Set TRIM to 0 or turn the knob to its neutral position.
Use battery with better discharge ability.
Motor RPM is too high, the gear ratio is too aggressive.| Use motor with lower RPM, or use smaller pinion to get softer gear ratio.
Something wrong in the driving system of the car.| Check the drivetrain of the vehicle.
