Mounting the Speed Control
Mount the Fuze ESC in the location specified by your
vehicle’s instruction manual. Use the double-sided foam
tape (included) to secure the speed control in position.
NOTE: Be sure all wiring connections can be reached
prior to mounting.
Use double-sided foam tape to secure the side of the switch
to a convenient location on the chassis or shock tower.

Quick Start Guide
The quick start setup guide will get you running quickly
using the ESC’s default settings.
1. Solder a high-quality battery connector to the ESC.
2. Mount the ESC and motor into the car.
3. Plug in the 3 motor wires to the 3 motor wires on the
ESC (brushless applications). For brushed motor
applications, the center blue wire is not used.
4. Plug in the ESC receiver lead to CH2 on your receiver.
5. Make sure the ESC’s switch is OFF.
6. Plug a battery into the ESC.
Throttle/System Calibration Procedure
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. While holding full throttle on your transmitter, turn the
ESC switch ON.
A. After a few seconds you’ll hear 6 tones created by the
motor.
B. Release the throttle to the neutral position and after a
few seconds you’ll hear 4 tones.
C. Apply full brake position and after a few seconds
you’ll hear 4 tones.
D. Turn the ESC switch off.
E. Turn on the ESC switch. A few seconds later the ESC
will arm with 3 rising tones followed by 4 short tones.
You’re ready to go!
F. If the motor operates in the wrong direction simply
reverse any two of the motor wires.
G. Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when
you have finished operating your vehicle. The ESC’s
switch only controls the power to the receiver and
servos. The ESC will continue to draw current from
the battery even with the switch in the OFF position.
Over time the battery will completely discharge
causing possible damage.
