The ESC is compatible with 2S and 3S Lipo batteries and features an IP66 waterproof rating, ensuring protection against dust and strong jets of water.
This image details the motor compatibility for the 60A/480A sensorless brushless ESC, specifying suitable motor sizes (e.g., 3670-size or smaller) and KV ratings for both 2S and 3S Lipo or NiMH battery configurations.
The 60A ESC is suitable for 3650, 3660 motors and 2-3S batteries, making it ideal for 1/10 scale RC trucks, buggies, and cars.
Setup and Installation
- Connect the Motor: Connect the three motor wires (usually colored red, blue, yellow) from the ESC to the corresponding motor terminals. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connect the Battery: Connect your 2S or 3S Lipo battery (T-plug or XT60) to the ESC's battery input. Ensure correct polarity.
- Connect to Receiver: Plug the ESC's signal cable (usually a white, red, black wire) into the throttle channel (typically Channel 2) of your RC receiver.
- Connect Servo (if applicable): If using a separate servo, connect its signal cable to the appropriate channel on your receiver (e.g., Channel 1 for steering).
- Mounting: Securely mount the ESC and receiver in your RC vehicle using double-sided tape or other appropriate methods, ensuring good airflow around the ESC for cooling.

Operating Instructions
- Initial Power-Up:
- Ensure your remote control is turned on and the throttle trim is centered (or at '0').
- Connect the battery to the ESC. The ESC will emit a series of beeps indicating cell count and readiness.
- The ESC's LED should indicate a successful connection.
- Throttle Calibration:
- With the remote control on and throttle at neutral, turn on the ESC.
- Follow your remote control's specific instructions for throttle calibration to ensure the ESC recognizes the full range of your throttle input (neutral, full forward, full reverse).
- Driving: Once calibrated, the motor should respond smoothly to throttle inputs from your remote control. Start with gentle throttle inputs to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's response.
Programming Card Usage
The included programming card allows for easy adjustment of various ESC parameters without needing to connect to a computer. Refer to the programming card's specific manual for a full list of adjustable parameters and their functions.
- Connect the Programming Card: Connect the V-BEC cable from the programming card to the designated port on the ESC. Ensure the battery is connected to the ESC.
- Activate the Card: Turn on the ESC switch. The programming card's display should light up, indicating it's ready for use.
- Adjust Parameters: Use the buttons on the programming card to navigate through the parameters and adjust their values.
- Save Settings: Once adjustments are made, ensure you save the settings according to the programming card's instructions.
This image highlights the suitable new version programming card for the ESC, contrasting it with an older, incompatible version.
This image demonstrates the two steps for using the programming card: first, connecting the V-BEC cable to the ESC and linking the battery, then turning on the ESC switch to activate the programming card light.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your GOUPRC 60A Brushless RC ESC, please refer to the common problems and solutions below. For further assistance, contact customer support.
- Motor Not Responding:
- Ensure the throttle channel on your remote control is adjusted to 100%. If not, the signal reception may be insufficient.
- Verify that the throttle trim on your remote control is set to the "0" position. Incorrect trim settings can prevent the motor from responding.
- Check the throttle channel driving direction setting on your remote control (especially for models with screens). An incorrect direction can cause issues.
- Confirm all connections between the ESC, motor, receiver, and battery are secure and correctly polarized.
- ESC Not Powering On:
- Check battery charge level.
- Inspect battery and ESC connectors for damage or loose connections.
- Overheating:
- Ensure adequate airflow around the ESC.
- Verify that the motor is compatible with the ESC and not drawing excessive current.
- Check for binding in the drivetrain that could cause the motor and ESC to work harder.
