1) For 4-6 cells NiMH or 2 cells Lipo: You needn’t change the fan combined with the ESC;
2) For 7-9 cell NiMH or 2 cells Lipo: You must change the fan combined with the controller
because it cannot work with such a high voltage, so please choose a high voltage fan or supply
the fan from the receiver (+5V); (*Note1)

【BEGIN TO USE THE NEW ESC】
1. Connect the ESC, motor, receiver, battery and servo
according to the following diagram
“+” and “-” wires of the ESC are connected with the battery
pack, and #A, #B and #C are connected with the motor wires.
The “SET” button is used for programming the ESC.
The control cable of the ESC (trio wires with black, red and
white color) is connected with the throttle channel of the
receiver (Usually CH2).
The #A, #B, #C wires of the ESC can be connected to the
motor wires in any order. If the motor runs in the opposite
direction, please swap any two wire connections. Note: You
can use the transmitter to set the throttle channel to
the “Reverse” direction, and then the motor will run in
the opposite direction. Please calibrate the throttle
range again after changing the direction of throttle
channel.
