1/16 E-REVO

The electronic speed control is factory set and should not require any

adjustments. These instructions are provided for your reference.

Transmitter Adjustments for the electronic speed control

Before attempting to program your ESC, it is important to make

sure your TQ transmitter is properly adjusted (set back to the factory

defaults). Otherwise, you may not get the best performance from your

speed control.

The transmitter should be adjusted as follows:

1. Set the throttle neutral switch to the 50/50 setting. This adjusts the

transmitter’s throttle trigger throw to 50% for throttle and 50% for

braking and reverse.

2. Set the throttle trim control to the middle “0” setting.

3. Set the Channel 2 servo reversing switch to the left position. Do not

change the position of any of the servo reversing switches after

programming the ESC.

4. You are now ready to program your speed control.

Setup Programming (Calibrating your ESC and transmitter)

Read through all of the following programming steps before you begin.

If you get lost during programming or receive unexpected results,

simply unplug the battery, wait a few seconds, plug the battery back in,

and start over.

1. Disconnect each of the motor wires between the ESC and the motor.

This is a precaution to prevent runaway when the speed control is

turned on before it is programmed.

2. Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle

at neutral).

3. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.

4. Press and hold the EZ-Set button (A). The LED

will ﬁrst turn green and then red. Release the

EZ-Set button.

5. When the LED blinks RED ONCE.

Pull the throttle trigger to the

full throttle position and hold it

there (B).

6. When the LED blinks RED TWICE.

Push the throttle trigger to the full

reverse and hold it there (C).

7. When the LED turns solid GREEN, programming is

complete. The LED will continuously shine green

indicating the ESC is on and at neutral (D).

ESC Operation

To operate the speed control and test the programming, place the

vehicle on a stable block or stand so all of the driven wheels are off the

ground. Reconnect the motor wires. Always make sure that objects and

ﬁngers are clear of the wheels.

1. With the transmitter on, press the EZ-Set button for ½ second, until

the LED shines GREEN, then immediately release the button. This

turns on the ESC. If you press and release too quickly, you may hear

the steering servos jump but the LED may not stay on. (Note: If the

throttle is not at neutral or if the throttle trim has been altered, the

LED will turn off after one second and the wheels may begin to drive.)

2. Apply forward throttle. The LED will turn off until full throttle power is

reached. At full throttle, the led will shine GREEN.

3. Move the trigger forward to apply the brakes. Note that braking

control is fully proportional. The LED will turn off until full braking

power is reached. At full brakes, the LED will shine GREEN.

4. Return the throttle trigger to neutral. The LED will shine GREEN.

5. Move the throttle trigger forward again to engage reverse (Proﬁle #1).

The LED will turn off. Once full reverse power is reached, the LED will

shine GREEN.

6. To stop, return the throttle trigger to neutral.

(Note: There is no programmed delay when changing from reverse

to forward. Use caution to avoid slamming the speed control from

reverse to forward. On high-traction surfaces, this could result in

transmission or driveline damage.

7. To turn the ESC off, press the EZ-Set button until the green LED

turns off.

Thermal Shutdown Protection

The XL-2.5 speed control is equipped with thermal shutdown

protection to guard against overheating caused by excessive current

ﬂow. If the operating temperature exceeds safe limits, the ESC will

automatically shut down and the ESC LED will ﬂash red. The LED on the

face of the ESC will continuously ﬂash red, even if the throttle trigger

is moved back and forth. After the speed control cools down to a safe

level, the LED will continuously shine green. The ESC will once again

function normally.
