Basic information for a safety operation of a rc model car.
Dear customer,
thank you that you have chosen a high-performance product from Absima. Our
products have been designed for beginners, hobby pilots and competition
ambitious drivers. Absima wants you to have fun and success with your new
model and we therefore recommend that you read the following points carefully.
Before each driving:
- Please check all screws are properly fitting.
- For screws which abut on metal, you should check whether there is enough security screws paint.
- The servo saver should always be set so that it works smoothly and is not too tight otherwise the servo gets damaged.
- Check on your remote control and the vehicle the batteries whether these are still fully charged.
- Check on your remote control, the TRIM settings that the wheels are straight and that you have enough steering angle.
After each driving:
- If you have driven in dirty terrain, it is advisable to clean the completely car.
- If you are driving through rain or water you have to dry the entire vehicle, otherwise all metal parts will rust.
- To displace moisture is WD40 just right. After several trips we recommend that you check the bearings if they are still functioning properly.
- After several trips we recommend that you check out the differentials in the vehicle.
- General visual check after every ride
Electric cars:
- Before you driving an electric vehicle for the first time, you should retract the electric motor. Proceed as follows:
- Drive the first 2 batteries only with half throttle.
- Then you can go on as usual normal.
Adjusting the distance between the motor pinion and main gear (if needed).
Loosen the motor screws from motor mount and push the motor away from the main gear. Take a sheet of paper and hold it between the motor pinion and main gear. Now slide the engine completely to the main gear. Pull out the sheet of paper, now the correct distance between the motor pinion and main gear is made.
Declaration of conformity
The manufacturer hereby declares that the product complies with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of the EU Directive.

ATTENTION: Batteries and rechargeable batteries in your transmitter
should always be fully charged! Never use the model when they are completely
empty. Why? The transmitter could switch itself off, the signal would be lost
to your RC Model and it could have a mind of its own.
– this could be very expensive!
Getting Started:
Switch on transmitter, hold vehicle clear of the ground, connect battery pack
and switch on receiver. Test the transmitter to check control of the vehicle
with wheels off the ground. Start driving slowly and if the vehicle does not
go straight, adjust steering trim dial on Transmitter. For the very first run
use the throttle gently, to help the driver become accustomed to the vehicles
behaviour and controls
Always keep in mind:
This is NOT a toy and must be operated with caution and common sense. Failure to operate this product in a safe and responsible manner could result in damage, injury or damage to other property”
If you switch on the car first, before the transmitter your RC Model could have a mind of its own and could drive off.
Please observe:

DECLARATION
Thanks for purchasing our Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). The power system for RC model can be very dangerous, so please read this manual carefully. In that we have no control over the correct use, installation, application, or maintenance of our products, no liability shall be assumed nor accepted for any damages, losses or costs resulting from the use of the product. Any claims arising from the operating, failure of malfunctioning etc. will be denied. We assume no liability for personal injury, consequential damages resulting from our product or our workmanship.
FEATURES
Completely water-proof and dust-proof. The ESC works properly even under water.
(Please remove the cooling fan when running car in water, and after running, please make the ESC clean and then dry it to avoid the oxidation of copper connectors)
Excellent start-up, acceleration and linearity features, suitable for truggy (especially short course trucks) and buggy.
The built-in switching mode BEC has powerful output to supply all electronic equipments.
There is a mounting stand for installing the ESC on chassis easily and firmly.
Propor tional ABS brake function with 5 steps of maximum brake force adjustment, 8 steps of drag-brake force adjustment. Also compatible with the mechanical disc-brake system.
Multiple protection features: Low voltage cut-off protection / Over-heat protection / Throttle signal loss protection / Motor blocked protection
Easily programmed with the SET button of the ESC.
Specifications
NOTE1 : The cooling fans of ESC is supplied by the built-in BEC, so it is always working under 6V .
Begin To Use The New ESC
WARNING! For safety, please always keep the wheels away from the track when
switching on the ESC.
1. Connect The ESC, Motor, Receiver, Battery And Servo
The #A, #B, #C wires of the ESC can be connected with the motor wires freely
(without any sequence).
If the motor runs in the opposite direction, please swap any two wire
connections.
2. Throttle Range Setting (Throttle Range Calibration)
In order to make the ESC match the throttle range, you must calibrate it when
you begin to use a new ESC, or a new transmitter, or change the settings of
neutral position of the throttle stick, ATV or EPA parameters, etc.
The following pictures show how to set the throttle range with a transmitter.
A) Switch off the ESC, turn on the transmitter, set the direction of throttle
channel to ”REV ”, set the “EPA/ATV ” value of throttle channel to “100% ”,
and disable the ABS function of your transmitter.
B) Hold the “SET ” key and then switch on the ESC, and release the “SET ” key
as soon as possible when the red LED begins to flash. (Note2 )
Note2: If you don’t release the “SET ” key as soon as the red LED begins to flash, the ESC will enter the program mode, in such a case, please switch off the ESC and re-calibrate the throttle range again from step A to step D.
3. Check LED Status In Normal Running
A). When the throttle stick is in the neutral range, neither the Red LED nor
the Green LED lights up.
B) When the car moves forward, the Red LED solidly lights; the Green LED also
lights up when the throttle stick is at the top position (100% throttle).
C) When the car brakes, the Red LED solidly lights; the Green LED also lights
up when the throttle stick is at the bottom position and the maximum brake
force is set to 100%.
D) When the car reverses, the Red LED solidly lights
PROGRAMMABLE ITEMS LIST
(The italics texts in the following form are the default settings)
1. Programmable Values
1.1. Running Mode: In “Forward with Brake” mode, the car can go forward and
brake, but cannot go backward, this mode is suitable for competition;
“Forward/Reverse with Brake” mode provides backward function, which is
suitable for daily training.
Note: “Forward/Reverse with Brake” mode uses “Double-click” method to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone for the first time (The 1 st “click”), the ESC begins to brake the motor, the motor speeds down but it is still running, not completely stopped, so the backward action is NOT happened immediately. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again (The 2 nd “click”), if the motor speed is slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward action will happen. The “Double -Click” method can prevent mistakenly reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in steering.
By the way, in the process of braking or reversing, if the throttle stick is moved to forward zone, the motor will run forward at once. “Forward/Reverse” mode uses “Single -click” to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone, the car will go backward immediately. This mode is usually used for the Rock Crawler.
1.2. Drag Brake Force: Set the amount of drag brake app lied at neutral throttle to simulate the slight braking effect of a neutral brushed motor while coasting.
1.3. Low Voltage Cut-Off: The function prevents the lithium battery pack from over discharging. The ESC detects the battery’s voltage at any time, if the voltage is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the output power will be cut off, and the red LED ashes in such a way: “☆ “ -, ☆-, ☆-”.
1.4. Start Mode (Also called “Punch”): Select from “Level1” to “Level9” as you like . Level1 has a very soft start effect, while level9 has a very aggressive start effect. From Level1 to Level9, the start force is increasing. Please note that if you choose “Level7” to “Level9” mode, you must use good quality battery with powerful discharge ability, otherwise these modes cannot get the burst start effect as you want. If the motor cannot run smoothly (that means the motor is trembling), it may cause d by the weak discharge ability of the battery, please choose a better one or a softer gear ratio.
1.5. Maximum Brake Force: The ESC provides proportional brake function.
The brake force is related to the position of the throttle stick. Maximum
brake force refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the end
point of the backward zone. A very large brake force can shorten the brake
time, but it may damage the gears. The “Disable” option
inhibits the inherent brake function of the speed controller. When this option
is selected, the brake function is realized by a traditional mechanical disc-
brake system driven by a servo.
2. Reset All Items To Default Values
At any time when the throttle is located in neutral zone (except in the
throttle calibration or parameters program process), hold the “SET ” key for
over 3 seconds, the red LED and green LED will flash at the same time , which
means each programmable item has be reset to its default value. It needs to be
restarted to complete the whole process.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROGRAM THE ESC
1. Program the ESC with the SET button on the ESC
Note:
- In the program process, the motor will emit “Beep ” tone when the LED is flashing.
- We use a long time ash and long “ Beep—” tone to represent number “5” for easily identify the items of the big number.
“ A long time ash” (Motor sounds “B —”) = the No. 5 item
“ A long time ash + a short time ash” (Motor sounds “B —B”) = the No. 6 item
“ A long time flash + 2 sh ort times ash” (Motor sounds “B —BB”) = the No. 7 item
“ A long time ash + 3 short times ash” (Motor sounds “B —BBB”) = the No. 8 item
“ A long time ash + 4 short times ash” (Motor sounds “B —BBBB”) = the No. 9 item
