20 Amp ESC:

Reminder: All Li-Po battery packs must be

charged by Li-Po specific chargers only!
Failure to follow these instructions may result

in a fire!

Programming Your ESC:

1. To enter the programming mode, the controller

must be powered up with the throttle in full position

and held there for 5 seconds.

2. When this is done, the ESC will be in the setup

mode and will beep three times indicating this.

3. Once in this programming mode, return the throttle

to mid-stick within 3 seconds, and the ESC will

scroll through the menu.

When in the programming mode, select yes (up) or no

(down) as follows:

Yes: Move throttle stick to full for approximately 1

second (controller will beep once), then return to

mid-stick.

No: Move throttle stick to low throttle for 1 second

(controller will beep once), and then return to

mid-stick.

A. Menu Item 1: Voltage Auto Cutoff

1 beep – auto cutoff
* Need to act within 5 seconds:

Li-Po – up (see above)

Ni-MH – down (stock setting)

After the setting of this parameter, the controller will

wait approximately 3 seconds before moving to next

menu item.

B. Menu Item 2: Brake Setting

2 beeps – brake setting
* Need to act within 5 seconds:

Brake off – up (stock setting)

Brake on – down

C. Menu Item 3: Motor Timing

3 beeps – motor timing
* Need to act within 5 seconds:

Outrunner (and 4-pole or greater motors) – up

Inrunner (2-pole motors) – down (stock setting)

After setting the desired parameters, simply power

down the ESC and then rearm the controller.

Motor Arming:

The ESC will not arm the motor until the throttle stick

is moved to low throttle and held there for 1 second or

more. Three consecutive beeps will indicate this.

Step 7

The Typhoon

3D PNP

can be powered by either a

9-cell 10.8V 1000mAh Ni-MH or a 3S 11.1V 2100mAh

Li-Po battery pack. Using the Thunder Power 3S battery

will greatly increase the power, performance, and flight

time of your Typhoon 3D PNP.
The ESC comes with the auto-cut voltage set for the

9-cell Ni-MH battery pack. You must reprogram the

voltage automatic cutoff if you are planning to fly with

the 3S Li-Po battery. Failure to do this will result in

permanent damage to your battery pack.
