A universal receiver connector is prewired to the
controller (see diagram). Insert the receiver
connector into the throttle channel of the receiver.
This connector is compatible with JR, Futaba and
Hi-Tec receivers. Other types of receivers may not be
compatible. Be sure to route the receiver connector
wire neatly.
The E-flite Speed Controller will handle continuous
current up to 30 amps. This typically includes up to
Speed 600 motors. Female bullet-style connectors
are provided for convenient hook up with motors
that are prewired. The red wire is positive (+) and
the black wire is negative (-).
The E-flite 30-Amp Speed Control comes prewired
with a Tamiya-style battery connector that is
compatible with connectors found on most battery
packs. You can use a 5-cell to 10-cell battery pack
(6- to 12-volt).
Using double-sided servo tape, mount the E-flite
30-Amp Speed Controller in the position shown in
the instruction manual for your particular model. Be
sure to mount the control so that the motor, battery,
and receiver wires reach. Mount the switch using a
screw and switchplate kit or use double-sided servo
tape on the side of the switch to mount it to the
fuselage of your model.
1. Be sure the On/Off switch is in the off position
and the motor is not yet connected.
2. Plug the speed control throttle lead into the
throttle servo receptacle on the receiver.
3. Turn on the transmitter and place the throttle
control stick in the center position. If you have
a computer transmitter, adjust the throttle ATV
to 100%.
4. Connect a fully charged battery to the battery
connector on the speed control. Note the
positive and negative leads. Ensure proper
polarity when making the connection, because
incorrect polarity will damage the speed control.
5. If you used a PCM transmitter, set the fail-safe
memory on low speed.
6. Turn off all switches before connecting the
motor. After connecting the motor, turn the
switches on. The throttle will start from
low speed.
7. Test the motor.
Note: If your electronic speed control fails to
operate after following the above steps,
unplug the receiver connector and rotate 180˚.
