6. Setup and Installation
6.1 Wiring Connections
Follow these steps to correctly connect the ESC to your system components:
- Connect the motor phase wires (typically three thick wires) from the ESC to your motors.
- Connect the hall sensor wires (smaller multi-pin connector) from the ESC to your motors, if applicable.
- Connect the power switch button to the designated port on the ESC.
- Connect the battery wires (red for positive, black for negative) to the main power input of the ESC.
- Connect the remote receiver to the PPM or UART port on the ESC, depending on your remote type.
- Connect any optional accessories such as brake lights, front lights, or horn to their respective ports on the ESC.

6.2 VESC Tool Configuration
After physical connections, configure the ESC using the VESC Tool software:
- Connect the ESC to your computer via the Micro USB cable.
- Power on the ESC using the integrated button.
- Open the VESC Tool software on your computer.
- Click 'Connect' to establish communication between the VESC Tool and the ESC.
- Navigate to the 'Motor Setup' tab and set 'Motor Rated Current(A)', 'Li-ion Battery Series(S)', and 'Cell Cut-Off Voltage' according to your motor and battery specifications.
- Click the 'Identification Button' and confirm to proceed with motor parameter identification.
- Review the parameter identification results to ensure they are correct.
- Go to the 'Control Setup' tab and select the appropriate 'Input Signal Type' (e.g., UART for Flipsky remotes).
- Choose the desired 'UART Control Mode' and 'Extra Interface' options based on your setup (e.g., Current Gear Reverse Brake, Front/Brake Light and Horn).
- Click 'Write Setup' to save all configurations to the ESC.

7. Operating Instructions
7.1 Remote Control Operation
After successful VESC Tool configuration, you can operate your electric vehicle using a compatible remote control:
- Ensure the remote control is paired with the ESC. Confirm the 'Control type' is UART and 'ESC Type' is FTESC on the remote's display.
- Use the throttle gear to accelerate and brake. Pull down the throttle gear to activate the rear brake light.
- Short press the remote's power button once to turn the front lights on or off.
- Press the remote's power button twice quickly to activate or deactivate the horn.

8. Maintenance
- Regularly inspect all wiring connections for looseness or damage.
- Keep the ESC and surrounding components clean and free from dust, dirt, and moisture.
- Avoid exposing the ESC to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Do not attempt to modify the ESC's hardware or remove the factory-installed shrink wrap.
9. Troubleshooting
- ESC not responding or locking up: Check all power and signal connections. Ensure the battery is adequately charged. If using a CAN bus setup, verify the CAN switch is correctly positioned.
- Motor not recognized by VESC Tool: Confirm the USB connection is secure and the ESC is powered on. Try restarting the VESC Tool and reconnecting.
- Unexpected behavior after firmware update: If you updated the firmware beyond version 5.2 and experience issues, it may be due to incompatibility. Contact Flipsky support for assistance.
- Intermittent connection with remote: Ensure the remote receiver is securely connected to the ESC and that the remote is fully charged and paired.
