• Tunable drag brake and drag brake rate for different vehicles, tracks and control feel. Adjustable PWM frequency combined with advanced freewheeling (/DEO) technology guarantees great throttle linearity and driving feel.
• Innovative real car mode, make the downhill control of the vehicle more stable, and provide new fun for the car.
• It has the function of using transmitter (AUX channel) to adjust the drag brake force in real time, and switch the drag brake force anytime and anywhere according to the demand.
• Multiple protections: low-voltage cutoff protection, thermal protection, and throttle signal loss protection.
• Separate programming port to easily connect the LED program card to the ESC.
• Single-button ESC programming and factory reset.
• ESC programming via Hobbywing LED program card.
There is no polarityon the M+/M- two ESC-to-motor wires, hence, do not worry on how you connect them initially. You may find it necessary to swap two wires if the motor runs in reverse.
Plug the throttle control cable (white/red/black cable) on the ESC into the throttle (TH) channel on receiver. The throttle control cable will output the voltage of 6V/7.4V/8.4V to the receiver and steering servo. Hence, no separate battery can be
connected to the receiver. Otherwise, your ESC may be damaged. Single white cable: This cable is used to connect the receiver AUX channel and cooperate with the "real car mode" in the running mode of esc to realize the function of real-time
switching of motor rotation direction through the transmitter. For details, please refer to the introduction of "real car mode" below the parameter items. Single orange cable: This cable is used to connect the receiver AUX channel, which can
realize the function of real-time and linear adjustment of drag brake force through the transmitter.
Proper polariy is esential. Please ensure positive (+) connects to positive (+), and negative (-) connects to negative (-) when plugging in the battery! When reverse polarity is applied to your ESC from the battery, it WILL damage your ESC. This WILL
NOT be covered under warrranty!

1. 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. Please ensure the “ABS/braking
function” of your transmitter must be DISABLED.
2. Start with transmitter on and the ESC turned off but connected to a battery. Holding the SET button and press the ON/OFF button to turn on the ESC, the
RED LED on the ESC starts to flash (Note: the motor beeps at the same time), and then release the SET button immediately(The ESC will enter the p
rogramming mode if the SET button is not released in 3 seconds, please restart from step 1.).
Note: Beeps from the motor may be low sometimes, and you can check the LED status instead.
Move the throttle trigger to the neutral
position and press the set button.
3. 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 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 RED 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 RED LED blinks 3 times and the motor beeps 3 times to accept the full brake endpoint.

Move the throttle trigger to the end position
of forward and press the set button.
Move the throttle trigger to the end position
of backward and press the setup button.
1. Program your ESC with the SET Button
2. Program your ESC with a LED program card
• For easy recognition, the motor beeps at the same time when the Red LED flashes.
• When “N” (the number) is equal to or bigger than 5, we use a long flash to represent “5”. For
example, the Red LED flashes a long flash (and the motor beeps a long beep at the same time)
indicating you are in the 5th programmable item; if the Red LED flashes a long flash and a short
flash (and the motor beeps a long beep and a short beep at the same time) indicating you are in
the 6th programmable item; a long flash and two short flashes ( a long beep and two short beeps
at the same time) indicating you’re in the 7th programmable item and so on.
• Restore the default values with the SET button
Press and hold the SET button for over 3 seconds anytime when the throttle is at the neutral position (except during the ESC calibration and programming). The Red LED flahses a long flash (the motor beeps a long beep at the same time) and
then a short, single flash that repeats indicating that you have successfully restored all the default values within your ESC. Power on again before running.
• Restore the default values with a LED program card.
After connecting the LED program card to the ESC, press the “RESET” button and the “OK” button to factory reset your ESC.
• The Red LED dies out when the throttle trigger is in throttle neutral zone.
• The Red LED flashes when your vehicle runs forward and it turns solid Red when you pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle endpoint.
• The Red LED flashes when your vehicle brakes and it turns solid Red when you push the throttle trigger to the full brake endpoint and set the “maximum brake force” to 100%.
• The Red LED flashes when your vehicle runs backward and it runs solid Red when you push the throttle trigger to the full brake endpoint and set the “maximum reverse force” to 100%.

Those “black background and white text” options are the factory default settings.
It’s a racing mode. It has only forward and brake functions.Option 1: Forward with Brake.
This option is known to be the “training” mode with “Forward/ Reverse with Brake” functions. Hobbywing has adopted the “DOUBLE-CLICK” method, that is your vehicle only brakes on the 1st time Option 2: Forward/ Reverse with Brake.
you push the throttle trigger forward (brake) (1st push). The motor will reverse when you release the throttle triggle and re-push the trigger(2nd push).
This mode is often used by special vehicles (rock crawler). It adopts the “SINGLE-CLICK” method. The vehicle will brake immediately when you push the throttle trigger forward (brake).Option 3: Forward and Reverse.
When this mode is set, pushing the throttle trigger is always braking, the purpose is to simulate the real vehicle and realize the smooth downhill of the vehicle through the control of the brake. In addition, when this mode is set,
connect the single white signal cable of the esc to the AUX channel of the receiver, the real-time switching of the motor rotation direction can be realized through the channel switch/key corresponding to the transmitter. That is, the
vehicle can move forward or backward by pulling the throttle trigger through the control of the transmitter. When the maximum brake force is not enough to stop the vehicle on the ramp, you can also try to switch the motor rotation
direction, and realize the smooth downhill of the vehicle through the reverse control of the motor.
Select this option when you use a LiPo battery and set the cutoff voltage accordingly. Option 1: LiPo.
Select this option when you use a NiMH battery and set the cutoff voltage accordingly. Option 2: NiMH.
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 cut off the output
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. ☆ ☆ ☆
The ESC does not cut the power off due to low voltage. Please pay attention to the power change of your vehicle. In general, the battery voltage gets pretty low when your vehicle is severely losing power, then you should Option 1: Disabled.
Low cutoff voltage, difficult to get the LVC protection activated, is applicable to batteries with poor discharge capability. The corresponding cutoff voltage is 3.0V/Cell for Lipo battery and 4.5V for whole NiMH pack. Option 2: Auto (Low).
Option 3: Auto (Medium). Medium cutoff voltage, prone to getting the LVC Protection activated, is applicable to batteries with ordinary discharge capability. The corresponding cutoff voltage is 3.2V/Cell for Lipo battery and 5.0V for whole NiMH pack.
High cutoff voltage, very prone to getting the LVC Protection activated, is applicable to packs with great discharge capability. The corresponding cutoff voltage is 3.4V/Cell for Lipo battery and 5.5V for whole NiMH pack.Option 4: Auto (High).
It’s the initial force when you pull the throttle trigger from neutral position toward throttle position. A suitable start force can effectively prevent vehicle from sliding when you apply a low throttle amount.
It’s the force when throttle trigger is at the full throttle position. It’s adjustable among 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (by default). You can lower down the value for better driving feel/control when you drive a crawler (simulation model) over
difficult terrains (and don’t have any requirement against the maximum speed).
Different reverse force will bring different reversing speed. For the safety of your vehicle, we recommend using a low level.
The ESC provides proportional braking function; the braking effect is decided by the position of the throttle trigger. It sets what 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. Please select the most suitable brake amount as per your car condition and your preference.
It is also known as “minimum brake force”. It is the force when pushing throttle trigger from neutral zone to the initial brake position.
Drag brake is the braking power produced when releasing the throttle trigger to neutral zone.
This parameter value can be adjusted in real time through the transmitter. When a single orange cable of the esc is connected to AUX channel of the receiver, the drag brake can be set in real time through the corresponding keys/knobs of the channel.
It’s the rate at which the drag brake increases from zero to the pre-set value when the throttle trigger enters the neutral range. A suitable rate can make the vehicle stop stably. You can choose the drag brake rate from level 1 (very soft) to level 9
(very aggressive) as per the track, tires’ grip, and etc.
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.
You can choose the punch from level 1 (very soft) to level 5 (very aggressive) as per the track, tires, grip, your preference and etc. This feature is very useful for preventing tires from slipping during the starting-up process. In addition, “level 4” and
“level 5” have strict requirement on battery’s discharge capability. It may affect the starting-up if the battery discharges poorly and cannot provide large current in a short time. The car stutters or suddenly loses power in the starting-up process
indicating the battery’s discharge capability is not good, and then you need to reduce the punch or increase the
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.
The BEC voltage supports 6V/7.4V/8.4V three levels of adjustment. Generally, 6.0V is applicable to ordinary steering servo, and 7.4V/8.4V is applicable to high-voltage steering servo,please set the appropriate value according to the specification of
Warning! The set BEC voltage should not exceed the support voltage of the steering servo and receiver, otherwise it may damage the steering servo and receiver or even the esc.
For regular vehicles, we recommend disabling this function. With it disabled, your vehicle can have quick acceleration. For a crawler (simulation model), we suggest enabling it. With it enabled, you crawler can have better linearity during a
low-speed running and also less heat.

• To avoid short circuits, ensure that all wires and connections must be well insulated before connecting the ESC to related devices.
• Ensure all devices are well connected to prevent poor connections and avoid damages to your electronic devices.
• Read through the manuals of all power devices and chassis and ensure the power configuration is rational before using this unit.
• Please use a soldering iron with the power of at least 60W to solder all input/output wires and connectors.
• Do not hold the vehicle in the air and rev it up to full throttle, as rubber tires can “expand” to extreme size or even crack to cause serious injury.
• Stop immediate usage once the casing of the ESC exceeds 90 /194 as this may cause damages to both the ESC and motor. Hobbywing recommends setting the “ESC Thermal Protection” to 105 /221 (this refers to the internal temperature of the ESC).℃℉ ℃ ℉
• Users must always disconnect the batteries after use as the current on the ESC is consuming continuously if it is connected to the batteries (even if the ESC is turned off). The battery will completely be discharged and may result in damage to the
battery or ESC when it is connected for a long period of time. This WILL NOT be covered under warranty.
