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.

complete. The LED will continuously shine green |

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

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
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
2.Turn on the transmitter (with the throttle at neutral).
3.Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.
