Intended Use
This product consists of a high performance brushless motor and a corresponding electronic control unit.
The control unit is attached to a free channel of a remote control receiver for model vehicles and functions
as a continuous RPM control of the brushless motor.
This product complies with the applicable National and European specifications. All company names and

Safety instructions
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe these
safety instructions! We do not assume liability for consequential damage!
We do not accept any liability for personal injury or damage to property caused by
incorrect handling or non-observance of the safety instructions! The warranty will
be void in such cases.
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the product is inadmissible because of safety and
approval reasons (CE).
• The product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children!
• The control unit and the motor may not become damp or wet.
• Always unclamp the battery from the control until if you do not wish to use the control until. If the control
unit is not used for short periods, it can be deactivated via the On/Off switch.
• Always turn on the transmitter first before connecting the control unit with the battery and switching it on!
• Before turning off the transmitter, turn off the control unit and, if necessary, separate it from the battery.
• The control unit can use NiMH/NiCd rechargeable batteries (6 cells) or LiPo rechargeable batteries (2
cells) depending on the programming.
• Both the motor and the control unit can become very hot during operation, danger of burns!
• Handle the product carefully and do not drop it. Knocks, blows or even a fall from a low height can damage
it.
• Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around as this may become a dangerous toy for
children.

Assembly
• If the product is to be used as a replacement for an existing control unit/motor, then first remove the old
components from your model.
• Mount a pinion gear, suited to the drive gear, onto the driveshaft of the brushless motor. The pinion gear
is generally affixed with a grub screw.
Ensure that the grub screw sits exactly on the flattened
side of the driveshaft and is screwed tight in that position
(see the schematic diagram on the right, without the gear)
otherwise the pinion gear will quickly loosen.
The exact position of the pinion gear on the drive shaft must be determined after the motor
is mounted. Thus, only tighten the pinion gear lightly initially.
• Mount the motor in your vehicle and screw it into place. The distance between the pinion gear and the
drive gear will be set later, it is currently not important.
• Now check that the pinion gear comes into exact contact with the drive gear and is not
skewed to the side.
The exact position of the pinion gear is very important, it must not be
skewed to the side as otherwise the drive gear will be damaged (the
transfer of power will only occur over a small area).
Make note of the position, remove the motor and correct the mounting
position of the pinion gear on the driveshaft.
Only when the pinion gear sits exactly parallel on the driveshaft should the
grub screw be tightened firmly.
• After the correct mounting of the pinion gear on the driveshaft of the motor, the correct distance between
the pinion gear and the drive gear must be set.
• Generally when dealing with motor mounts, one mount hole will be round and the other will be oblong.
The motor is thus attached with the screw in the round hole and can be adjusted with the oblong hole.
Loosen both screws a little, so that the motor can be turned with a small amount of force.
• The distance between the pinion gear and the driveshaft should not be too small and should also not be
too large, as the drive gear will be damaged otherwise.
• Then screw down the motor firmly.
• Now mount the control unit in the vehicle chassis. Choose a location which is as far as possible from the
receiver. The control unit should also not be directly next to the motor.
You can use velcro or double-sided adhesive or similar to attach the unit.

• The on/off button with the integrated setup button is to be attached so that it can be easily operated. This
also requires attachment with velcro or double-sided tape or similar.
• Position all cables so that they cannot become entangled in rotating or moving parts of the vehicle. Use
cable ties to affix them for example.
Ensure above all things that the control unit ventilation cannot be inhibited in its function (danger of

overheating the control unit!)

Connection to the Receiver
• Connect the three-pole plug to the corresponding channel of the receiver. Make absolutely sure you have
the correct receiver configuration (see operation instructions for receiver as well as the inscription on the
receiver).
Yellow/white/orange cable:
Red cable:
Brown/black cable:
• As the control unit contains a BEC, a receiver battery or rechargeable battery must not be used! The
battery supplies the receiver directly with power via the control unit.

Initial Operation
a) Preparation
Attention, Beware!
Place the model car so the drive wheels do not make contact with the ground or other
objects. Place the vehicle on a hard foam block or similar.
Do not touch the drive mechanism, do not block it. Risk of injury!
• Turn on your transmitter (check the status of the battery or the rechargeable battery!) Place the trim
regulator in the centre position; place the throttle lever in the neutral position.
• The switch on the control unit must be set to the "OFF" position, see the figure on
the right.
• Insert the battery pack in the car and connect it to the control unit.
• Move the throttle and the corresponding trimmer to the neutral position on the remote control. Let go of
the speed pedal, do not move it.
b) Setting the Control Unit on the Receiver
The control unit must be set to the full speed positions for forwards and backwards as well as the neutral
position. For this purpose, proceed as follows:
• Switch off the control unit. Hold down the small setup button left of the on/off switch
(don't release!) and switch the control unit switch to the "ON" position, see the
figure on the right.
• When the blue LED on the control unit is lit, release the setup button.
• Move the gas/brake lever to full speed setting.
• The red and the yellow LEDs flash and then stay lit, a beep tone can be heard, the full speed setting is
saved.
• Now move the gas/brake lever to full reverse setting.
• The red and the blue LEDs flash and then stay lit, two beep tones can be heard, the full reverse setting
is saved.
• Now release the gas/brake so that it sits in the neutral position.
• The red and the green LEDs flash and then stay lit, three beep tones can be heard, the neutral position
setting is saved, all LEDs cease to be lit.
• Switch the controller off, the programming to the remote control is complete.
If you always use the same remote control, the programming of the settings on the speed
lever for your remote control need only be carried out once and/or when you have made
changes to the setup of your remote control.

Programming the Control Unit
Attention! Before you can operate the control unit and thus the vehicle itself, you must at
least programme the rechargeable battery type!
• Switch on the transmitter. Leave the gas/brake in the neutral position
• Switch on the control unit.
The green LED is lit = reverse movement activated
The yellow LED is lit = reverse movement deactivated
