Notice Your product is calibrated and tested at the factory prior to final packaging, some issues may arise during shipping and handling that can be easily resolved at home. For other adjustments it should be known that hobby grade radio controlled products such as this differ from toy grade, in that they are intended to be user-serviceable products where the user can program, disassemble and maintain their own product.
• If you have little or no experience operating R/C models, we strongly recommend you seek the assistance of your local hobby dealer. • Do not expose the transmitter to water or excessive moisture. • Do not operate radio controlled products in a lightning or thunder storm. • Ensure your batteries (both Tx and vehicle) are charged before each use. • Check all servos and electrical connections prior to each use.
Introduction Finding a brushless Monster Truck that delivers on power, strength and performance, yet still offers amazing value, can be quite a challenge. The very fact that you’re reading this, however, means you’ve found it. The Conquest 10MT XLR is just such a truck. It is, in short, a 2WD, all-weather, all-terrain, allrounder that’s as happy backyard bashing as it is leaping off ramps, scorching through scree, or performing long rubber-burning wheelies.
Getting Started Below are some steps to help get you going right away and most applicable to those who have used RC products before. If you are new to the hobby or it has been a while since you’ve worked with the latest technology, please read through the manual to acquaint yourself with the latest procedures, Warnings, Cautions and Tips.

Understanding the LED Status Light and Alert Tones The Helion ESC is programmed to communicate with you to let you know its status. LED in normal use • If the throttle trigger is in the neutral range, neither the red LED nor the green LED will light up. • The red LED lights when the car is running forward, backward or braking. • The green LED lights when the throttle trigger is moved to the full throttle position. • The green LED lights when the throttle trigger is moved to the full brake position.
Protection Functions Low Voltage Cut-off (LVC) protection: If the voltage of a LiPo battery pack is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will cut off the output power. Please note that the ESC cannot be restarted if the voltage of each LiPo cell is lower than 3.5V. For NiMH battery packs, if the voltage of the whole NiMH battery pack is higher than 9.0V but lower than 12V, it will be considered as a 3S LiPo. If it is lower than 9.0V, it will be considered as a 2S LiPo.
Programming your ESC Your Helion 50A brushless is a programmable ESC. Although the default settings should work well for most users, these settings exist so that you can fine-tune the performance of your ESC. It’s various parameters can be adjusted using a series of button presses and by counting LED flashes. There are 5 programmable items for your consideration. Descriptions of each item follow here along with programming instructions and a programming chart.
2. Forward / Reverse Brake: This setting is useful for normal operation since it allows for using reverse throttle to back out when no other options exist. NOTE: THE MOST IMPORTANT SETTING IS THE LOW VOLTAGE CUT-OFF THRESHOLD (ITEM 3). PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION AND USAGE TEXT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THIS FEATURE Item 2 – Drag Brake Force (Automatic Brake) WARNING: SWITCHING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD THROTTLE POSITION QUICKLY WILL CAUSE EXCESS LOAD ON THE ELECTRONICS AND DRIVETRAIN OF YOUR VEHICLE.
when the battery voltage is calculated at the selected voltage or less for more than 2 seconds. Since the setting is ‘per cell’ this means that if you are running a 2 cell battery, the voltage protection will activate relative to 2 x 2.6V = 5.2V. This setting is primarily for use with LiFe type batteries as the lower end of LVC settings. DO NOT USE THIS SETTING WITH LIPO BATTERIES. 3. 2.
WARNING: BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR MAXIMUM BRAKE SETTINGS BY DRIVING FROM FULL THROTTLE TO FULL HARD BRAKE IN AN OPEN AREA. IF THE REAR TIRES COME OFF THE GROUND CAUSING A FRONT FLIP, THE VEHICLE WILL TUMBLE OUT OF CONTROL AND COULD CAUSE PERSONAL OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. 1. 25%: This is the lowest setting and should only be used when driving with slow motors and on loose (low traction) surfaces. 2.
Turn OFF ESC and Transmitter HOLD SET BUTTON Press and hold the SET button then Turn ON the ESC RED LED flashes indicating you are in program mode RED LED flashes to indicate set value: 1-2, press button to cycle through available values Program Item 1: Running Mode Turn OFF ESC at any time to confirm setting, turn ON again to begin using the new settings.

Adjusting and Tuning Your Vehicle The Conquest 10MT XLR has been engineered with some available tuning options listed here for reference. The default configuration has been chosen to provide what we feel is the most enjoyable experience for most operating conditions.
General Care • Always use clean, dry cloth or soft bristle brush to clean your equipment. • Never use chemical cleansers to avoid damage to the sensitive electronics and plastics. Maintenance We want you to enjoy your product to its fullest potential. For this to happen it is important to keep your product clean and properly maintained. Lack of cleaning and maintenance can cause component failure.
receiver antenna be installed properly and undamaged. • Inspect any exposed antenna for cuts or abrasions. • 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 range and damage the antenna. • Ensure the antenna is not being pinched by the set screw that holds the antenna tube in place. Gears Periodically remove the gear cover to clearly inspect the gears and ensure there is no debris in the gear compartment.
4. Rotate the spur gear (turn the tires) to feed the paper out of the mesh, re-check the gear mesh and adjust again if necessary. 5. Re-install the spur gear cover when the mesh is properly set. WARNING: NEVER OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE WITH THE SPUR GEAR COVER REMOVED. SEVERE INJURY, DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, AND EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR ON DRIVETRAIN MAY RESULT. Shocks Periodically inspect the shocks for smooth motion, leaking oil and dirt residue build up around the shaft or caps.
• Remove the O-ring and spacer and replace with genuine replacement parts. • Re-assemble the shock following the refilling instructions above. Tires and Wheels Inspect the tires to ensure they have adequate tread and they are properly glued to the wheels. The tires on your vehicle come pre-glued from the factory; however after running your vehicle it is possible for the glue to come loose in some areas.
• Never store the transmitter or receiver in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. • Never store the transmitter with batteries installed for extended periods of time. Doing so may allow the batteries to leak and cause permanent damage to the transmitter. • Always disconnect electrical connections after use in wet environments. Allowing the contacts to dry will reduce corrosion. Disposal Your product is considered electronic waste and should never be discarded in standard garbage containers.
• The drivetrain in your vehicle has a covered shaft to protect from debris. We encourage you to remove it and inspect under the cover to ensure that items have not been entangled around the shaft causing drag and possible failure. Inspect around the steering components to ensure no debris are preventing normal steering operation. • Steering can become sluggish once components get dirty or “take a set” after running.
Troubleshooting Tables Problem / Symptom ESC will not set to transmitter Possible Cause Possible Solution Receiver and transmitter not bound Try re-binding Throttle Channel not set to Reverse Unless using Futaba radio, set Th channel to Reverse Batteries dead in car or transmitter Replace batteries Transmitter Trims and EPA’s are too far out of range for the ESC Ensure throttle/brake trim is centered and adjust throttle and brake EPA’s to maximum Transmitter is too close to vehicle Hold transmi
Problem / Symptom Possible Solution Battery voltage too low Charge battery Battery not connected Re/connect battery Damaged battery Replace battery Transmitter will not turn on Battery voltage too low Charge or change batteries Battery/ies installed improperly Correct installation Short radio range (Vehicle stops responding to transmitter at short distances) Damaged or improperly installed receiver and antenna Check receiver antenna for damage.
