Hobbywing QUICRUN Fusion SE ESC - User Manual
Introduction
The Hobbywing QUICRUN Fusion SE is a high-performance 2-in-1 ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) and motor system designed specifically for 1/10th scale RC rock crawlers. It integrates the ESC and motor into a single, compact unit, simplifying installation and improving overall efficiency and reliability for demanding off-road applications.
Key Features
- 2-in-1 Design: Combines ESC and motor for a streamlined setup.
- High Reliability: Built with robust components for durability.
- Advanced Programming: Offers extensive customization options via the Hobbywing ESC Programming Card or HW Link app.
- Multiple Protection Features: Includes protections against over-current, over-voltage, over-heating, and low-voltage cutoff.
- Adjustable Drag Brake Force: Features 9 levels of drag brake adjustment, allowing fine-tuning for crawling control.
- Efficient Heat Dissipation: Designed for optimal thermal management.
- BEC Output: Provides stable power to the receiver and servos.
Installation and Connections
Proper installation is crucial for performance and safety. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarized.
Connections:
- ESC to Motor: Connect the three phase wires from the ESC to the motor. The order of connection can affect the motor's rotation direction. If the motor spins the wrong way, swap any two of the three wires.
- ESC to Battery: Connect the battery input wires of the ESC to the appropriate battery terminals (e.g., LiPo or NiMH). Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative) to prevent damage. ⚠️ Warning: Incorrect polarity will damage the ESC.
- ESC to Receiver: Connect the ESC's signal wire (usually a thin servo-style connector) to the throttle channel on your RC receiver.
Diagram Description:
A typical setup diagram would show the QUICRUN Fusion SE unit connected to a LiPo battery pack, the RC receiver, and the motor (integrated within the unit). The ESC unit itself has input wires for the battery, output wires for the motor, and a signal wire connecting to the RC receiver. It may also feature ports for connecting a programming card or a fan.
Programming Parameters
The QUICRUN Fusion SE ESC allows for detailed parameter adjustments to suit various driving conditions and preferences. Key programmable items include:
- Running Mode: Forward/Reverse or Forward Only with Reverse.
- Drag Brake Force: Adjustable from 0% to 100% (9 levels). This feature applies a constant braking force when the throttle is released, helping to hold the vehicle on inclines.
- Initial Brake Force: Sets the starting point for braking.
- Brake Force: Maximum braking strength.
- Motor Type: Sensored/Sensorless (if applicable).
- Cutoff Voltage: Prevents battery over-discharge.
- Thermal Protection: Prevents ESC overheating.
Note: Refer to the detailed manual for specific programming procedures using a programming card or compatible software.

Troubleshooting
Issue: Motor does not spin.
Possible Cause: Incorrect wiring, low battery voltage, ESC not calibrated.
Solution: Check all connections, ensure battery is charged, recalibrate ESC with transmitter.
Issue: ESC overheats.
Possible Cause: Overloaded motor, insufficient airflow, incorrect gear ratio, high ambient temperature.
Solution: Reduce load, improve ventilation, check motor KV and gearing, ensure ESC is rated for the application.
