5. Setup

5.1 Wiring Connections

Connect the ESC to your motor, battery, and receiver as shown in the diagram below. Ensure correct polarity for all connections.

• Motor Connection: Connect the two motor wires to the ESC's motor output terminals. The order does not matter for brushed motors, but ensure a secure connection.
• Battery Connection: Connect the battery to the ESC's power input connector. Pay close attention to polarity (red to positive, black to negative).
• Receiver Connection: Plug the ESC's throttle cable (usually black, red, white/orange) into the throttle channel (CH2) of your receiver.

5.2 Throttle Range Calibration

Before first use or after changing your transmitter, perform throttle range calibration:

1. Turn on your transmitter and set the throttle channel to neutral.
2. Connect the battery to the ESC.
3. Press and hold the SET button on the ESC, then turn on the ESC. Release the SET button when the LED flashes.
4. Set the throttle stick to the maximum forward position. The ESC will beep once.
5. Set the throttle stick to the maximum reverse position. The ESC will beep twice.
6. Return the throttle stick to the neutral position. The ESC will beep three times. Calibration is complete.

5.3 Parameter Setting with Jumper Plugs

The QuicRUN-WP-1060-Brushed ESC uses jumper plugs for easy parameter adjustment. Refer to the diagram below for jumper positions.

• Running Mode: Adjust the jumper to select between Forward with Brake, Forward/Reverse with Brake, or Forward/Reverse without Brake.
• Battery Type: Set the jumper for LiPo or NiMH battery type. This ensures correct low voltage cut-off protection.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the ESC is properly set up and calibrated, you can begin operating your RC vehicle.

1. Ensure the ESC is connected to the battery, motor, and receiver.
2. Turn on your transmitter.
3. Turn on the ESC using its power switch.
4. The ESC will perform a self-test and indicate readiness with an LED or sound.
5. Operate your vehicle using the transmitter's throttle and steering controls.
6. When finished, turn off the ESC first, then the transmitter, and disconnect the battery.

7. Maintenance

• Regularly inspect all wires and connectors for damage or loose connections.
• Clean the ESC periodically to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air.
• Store the ESC in a dry, cool place when not in use.
• Avoid exposing the ESC to direct sunlight or extreme heat for extended periods.
