Hobbywing QuicRun Brushed Electronic Speed Controller Manual

Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for choosing Hobbywing and Robitronic. By selecting the QuicRun Brushed ESC, you have chosen a high-performance brushed controller. This ESC is equipped with high-tech features. Please read this manual carefully before the first use to avoid improper operation. Unauthorized modifications to our product are strictly prohibited as they are dangerous and could damage the unit. Hobbywing reserves the right to change its design, appearance, and usage requirements without prior notice.

Warnings ⚠️

• To prevent short circuits, ensure all wires and connections are well insulated before connecting the ESC.
• Verify that all devices are connected properly to avoid damage to the electrical components.
• Read the user manuals of all power-carrying components carefully and ensure that the component configuration is compatible.
• Use a soldering iron with a minimum power of 60 Watts for soldering all input/output wires and connectors.
• Do not hold the vehicle in the air and apply full throttle. The rubber tires will expand extremely due to the lack of resistance and may burst, potentially causing serious injury.
• Stop use and operation if the ESC housing exceeds 100°C, as this can damage both the ESC and the motor. Hobbywing has a built-in overheat protection set at 100°C (this corresponds to the internal temperature of the ESC).
• Always disconnect the battery from the ESC after use. Leaving a battery permanently connected to the ESC for an extended period can lead to damage and/or deep discharge of the battery or ESC. This is NOT covered by the warranty.

Features

• Fully waterproof and dustproof (Note: please clean and dry after use to prevent rusty connectors).
• Small size with built-in capacitors.
• High reliability even under prolonged load.
• Integrated BEC with high output power.
• 3 Operation Modes: Fwd/Br, Fwd/Rev/Br, and Fwd/Rev. These modes are suitable for various models. Fwd=Forward, Br=Brake, Rev=Reverse. Note that the QuicRun 1625 only features Forward, Reverse, and Brake modes.
• Easy-to-use throttle calibration.
• Multiple protection features: Low Voltage Cutoff, Thermal Protection, and Signal Loss Protection.
• Simple ESC programming via jumper.

Technical Data

Note: The WP-860-Dual has 2 outputs for operating 2 motors. If you operate 2 motors simultaneously, the motor's turn count must be increased.

Wiring

Motor Wiring: There is no polarity for the two motor wires (M+ / M-), so you can connect them initially. You may need to swap the two wires if the motor runs in reverse.

Receiver Connection: Plug the ESC's throttle cable into the THC/Gas channel on the receiver. The throttle cable provides 6V / 7.4V to the receiver and steering servo. Do not connect a separate battery to the receiver, as this will damage your ESC.

Battery Connection: Correct polarity is extremely important. Ensure the positive pole (+) is connected to positive (+) and the negative pole (-) to negative (-). If the polarity is reversed when connecting the battery to your ESC, your ESC will be damaged, which is NOT covered by the warranty!

ESC Setup

Begin by calibrating the ESC with your transmitter. Hobbywing users are recommended to use the "Fail Safe" function on the radio system and set (F/S) to "Output" or "Neutral Position".

To calibrate:

1. Turn on the transmitter and ensure all parameters (D/R, Curve, ATL) on the throttle channel are set to default (100%). For transmitters without an LCD display, turn the knob to maximum and set the "TRIM" direction to 0. Set the corresponding knob to the neutral position. For Futaba transmitters, set the throttle channel direction to "REV"; other transmitters may not require changes or should be set to "NOR".
2. Ensure your transmitter's "ABS / Brake function" is DISABLED.
3. Turn on the transmitter, the ESC remains off but connected to the battery. Now, turn on the ESC and set the throttle stick to the neutral position. Wait approximately 3 seconds for the auto-calibration to complete. A beep tone will confirm successful auto-calibration, and the ESC is ready for use. Refer to the diagrams for beep tone meanings.

Jumper/Switch Settings:

• QuicRun-WP-1625 and 1060: Use jumpers to set battery type and operation mode. (Note: The operation mode for the QuicRun WP-1625 is not adjustable). To set jumpers, use tweezers or similar tools. For example, to activate LiPo mode, place the jumper on the battery selection (Batt) pins of the ESC.
• QuicRun WP-860-Dual: This ESC has switches for operation mode and battery type. Select settings by changing the DIP switch positions. For example, for LiPo mode, set the switch to the left.

Parameter Selection Diagrams:

Diagrams illustrate jumper/switch configurations for selecting battery type (LiPo/NiMH) and operation mode (e.g., Forward/Brake/Reverse, Forward/Brake, Forward/Reverse, Boat for WP-860-Dual).

Programmable Settings

1. Operation Mode: Fwd=Forward, BR=Brake, Rev=Reverse.
   • Forward/Brake/Reverse: Factory setting. Uses a "double-click method" to prevent accidental reverse. Speed decreases when throttle is pulled back; motor reverses only after coming to a complete stop.
   • Forward/Brake: Only forward and brake functions are active. Reverse is disabled. Commonly used in competitions.
   • Forward/Reverse: Uses a "single-click method". Pulling the throttle stick back from neutral immediately engages reverse. Commonly used for rock crawlers.

   Note: The QuicRun WP-1625 model does not offer operation modes other than Forward/Brake/Reverse.

   The "Boat" mode is exclusive to the QuicRun WP-860-Dual ESC, featuring a specially designed algorithm for RC boats.

2. Battery Type: Two options are available: LiPo or NiMH. LiPo mode is the factory default.

Protection Functions ?️

1. Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) ⚡️: If the voltage drops below the threshold for 2 seconds, the safety function activates. At the first trigger point, the motor slows down; at the second, it shuts off. The red LED blinks to indicate LVC activation.
   • 2S LiPo: Halves output below 6.5V, shuts off below 6V. No restart possible.
   • 3S LiPo: Halves output below 9.75V, shuts off below 9V. No restart possible.
   • 4S LiPo: Halves output below 13V, shuts off below 12V. No restart possible.
   • 5-9S NiMH: Halves output below 4.5V, shuts off below 4V. No restart possible.
2. Overheat Protection ?: If the ESC temperature exceeds 100°C, the ESC shuts down, and the red LED blinks. Reactivation is only possible after the ESC cools down to 80°C.
3. Signal Loss Protection ?❌: The ESC shuts down if the radio signal is lost for more than 0.1 seconds. It is recommended to activate your transmitter's Fail-Safe function.
