HITEC HFX-R - Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of the HFX-R high frequency reversing electronic
speed control. The HFX-R represents the latest technology for high performance and
reliability in a reversing type ESC. Set it for two-way control for fun or forward only for
racing! The HFX-R does it all!
Step 1. Mounting instructions:
1.) Mounting the HFX-R should be done with double-sided tape in a location with
good airflow that does not interfere with the suspension of the vehicle.
Refer to your car instruction manual for their suggested location.
2.) On/Off switch should be mounted with double sided tape or screws where it is
easily accessible.
Step 2. Hook up Instructions:
1.) Connect the receiver lead to the throttle channel of the receiver.
This is typically CH#2. (Caution: The plug supplied will work with
Hitec, Futaba, JR and Airtronics "Z" only)
2.) Connect the ESC's Blue (-) and Yellow (+) wires to the motor via the
bullet connectors supplied.
3.) Connect the ESC's Tamiya type connector to the battery.
(Note: If you choose to use a different battery connector you will have to
change the stock connector to match.)
4.) Note: Always make sure you have three 0.1uf capacitors on the motor.
One from the positive motor tab to the ground (Case), the second from the
negative motor tab to the ground and the third from the positive motor tab to
the negative motor tab.
5.) Warning: Do not use a Schottky diode if using the reverse mode;
it may damage the speed control.
