Step 1.Precautions
WATER & ELECTRONICS DON’T MIX! Do not operate model in or around
water. Never allow water, moisture or other foreign materials to get
inside the ESC.
15-TURN MOTOR LIMIT Use only motors with 15 turns or more. Using
motors with fewer than 15 turns will cause overheating and will void the
warranty.
4 TO 7 CELLS ONLY Never use fewer than 4, or more than 7 cells (4.8-8.4
volts DC) in the main battery pack.
NO REVERSE VOLTAGE! Reverse battery polarity can damage speed
control--Disconnect battery immediately.
NO SCHOTTKY DIODES Using external Schottky diodes with reversible
ESCs will damage ESC & void warranty.
DISCONNECT BATTERIES WHEN NOT IN USE Always disconnect battery
from ESC when unattended or not in use to avoid possible short circuits.
Even if switch is off, MOSFETs may fail & cause shorting of battery pack that
could result in fire or burning of ESC & surrounding objects.
TURN TRANSMITTER ON FIRST Turn on transmitter before ESC so you
will have control of the radio equipment.
INSULATE WIRES Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or
electrical tape to avoid short circuits.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PRECAUTIONS VOIDS ANY WARRANTY Step 2. Programming Speed Control
With a charged battery pack installed & pluged into the ESC:
1. TURN ON THE TRANSMITTER, THEN SPEED CONTROL
2. PRESS & HOLD SPEED CONTROL’S SET BUTTON
With transmitter throttle at neutral, press and hold the
ESC SET button until the status LED turns solid red.
3. RELEASE ESC SET BUTTON WHEN LED IS RED
4. PULL TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-ON POSITION
Hold it there until the status LED turns solid green.
NOTE: Motor will not run during programming even if connected
5. PUSH TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-REVERSE
Hold it there until the status LED blinks green.
6. RETURN TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO NEUTRAL
Status LED will turn solid red, indicating that throttle is at
neutral and proper programming has been completed.
If transmitter settings are changed, programming must be repeated.
If you experience any problems, turn off ESC and repeat programming.
The Team Losi Sport Esc features “Smart Braking II” circuitry
which gives you full range of braking without going into
reverse until you shift it into reverse by returning the trigger
to neutral.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
Steering Channel Works But Motor Will Not Run
Speed control has thermally shut down - Allow ESC to
cool down - Use milder motor or smaller pinion gear.
Check motor connections. Check Motor.
Make sure ESC is plugged into the trhottle channel of
receiver. Check throttle channel operation with a servo.
Check wiring color sequence of receiver signal harness.
Possible internal damage - Call Customer Service
Receiver Glitches/Throttle Stutters During
Acceleration
Motor capacitors broken or missing
Receiver or antenna to close to speed control, power
wires, battery, or motor
Bad connections - Check wiring and connectors
Motor brushes worn - Replace brushes or motor.
Excessive motor current - Use milder motor/smaller pinion
gear
Motor and Steering Servo Do Not Work
Check wires, receiver signal harness wiring & color
sequence, radio system, crystals, battery/motor connectors
& battery.
Possible internal damage - Call Customer Service
Model Runs Slowly/Slow Acceleration
Check motor and battery connectors - Replace if needed.
Bad battery or motor - Check with another battery/motor
Incorrect transmitter/ESC Adjustment - Refer to Step 2.
Motor Runs Backwards
Motor wired backwards - Check wiring and reverse
