ESC Is Melted Or Burnt/ESC Runs With Switch Off *For more assistance call our Customer Service Department or check our Web site. U S I N G A R E C E I V E R B AT T E R Y PA C K The Havoc ESC has an internal 6V/1. 5A BEC, so a receiver battery pack is unnecessary. If you would like to use a receiver battery pack or external BEC, please follow these steps to ensure normal operation: 1. Connect receiver battery pack/external BEC into battery slot of the receiver. First turn the receiver battery pack ON, then cycle the ESC's switch from ON to OFF. After running your vehicle, simply turn OFF receiver battery pack/external BEC. Always disconnect main battery pack when vehicle is not in use. SERVICE PROCEDURES Before sending your speed control or brushless motor system in for service, review Trouble-Shooting guide and instructions. After reviewing instructions, if you feel that your ESC/system requires service, please obtain the most current product service options and pricing by the following ways: Never allow water, moisture, or other foreign materials to get inside ESC, motor, or on the PC Boards. Schottky diodes are never used with reversible ESCs, including brushless. This includes running the motor without a pinion or holding the car in the air and running the motor at or close to full power. Always disconnect batteries from ESC to avoid short circuits and possible fire hazard. If using LiPo batteries, ONLY use a 2-cell (2S) pack for vehicle's main battery & be sure the LiPo Cut-Off option is turned ON (refer to page 6). FACTORY-INSTALLED POWER CAPACITOR REQUIRED The factory-installed Power Capacitor MUST be used with brushless & brush-type motors. If Power Capacitor becomes dented or damaged, ESC failure can occur-replace immediately. CHECK FOR PROPER GEARING Refer to the `PROPER GEAR SELECTION' portion of the PROGRAMMING/GEARING Sheet (Pg. 5) to determine proper gearing & avoid overheating. SOLDER MOTOR POWER WIRES TO MOTOR *Skip this step if installing complete system with ESC factory-wired to motor. Cut the BLUE, YELLOW & ORANGE silicone motor power wires to the desired length, and strip 1/8-3/16" of insulation from the end of each wire. Tightly twist the exposed strands of wire, and tin the exposed end section of each wire with solder with a good, high heat iron. Solder the ESC's BLUE Phase `A' motor wire to the motor's phase `A' solder tab. Apply heat to exposed wire with soldering iron, and add solder to the tip of the iron & the wire--Add just enough solder to form a clean & continuous joint from the solder tab up onto the wire. IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT OVERHEAT SOLDER TABS Prolonged/excessive heating of solder tabs (motor or ESC) will cause damage. Solder the ESC's YELLOW Phase `B' motor wire to the motor's phase `B' solder tab as described in Step 5B above. Solder the ESC's ORANGE Phase `C' motor wire to the motor's phase `C' solder tab as described in Step 5B above. [. . . ] Note: Mount the antenna as close to receiver as possible--trail any excess antenna wire off the top of the antenna mast (cutting or coiling excess antenna wire will reduce the radio range). SECURE POWER CAPACITOR TO CHASSIS Use the included double-sided tape, or a tie-wrap, to mount the Power Capacitor to the vehicle's chassis or shock tower. Power Capacitor can also be tie-wrapped along the power wires--this requires less space on the chassis. INSTALL ON/OFF SWITCH Use a screw or the included double-sided tape, and mount the switch where it will be easy to access--be sure to select a position where it will not get damaged or get switched OFF during a crash or roll-over. FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 New KO (with tabs) tabs white red black Old KO (no tabs) no tabs white black red If you have an older KO or Sanwa/Airtronics, you must change the sequence of the ESC's input harness wires--Old Sanwa/Airtronics cases are black color & Old KO cases do not have tab openings, as in Figure 2 above. · Using a small flat blade screwdriver, remove the red & black wires from the plastic housing at the receiver end of the input harness as in Figure 3 below.
