I don't know exactly which channel is dedicated for throttle. You must find it out. After connecting the ESC with the receiver please use throthle and set it in minimal position. It should help.

ola amigo, confira as conexões, a bateria, se vc liga ele e ele não responde, pode ter queimado sim, mas teste com um bec externo tambem ok.

ecelente esc,uso em vairos motores,como 2822,2812 entre outros,ele e bom e barato,e ainda tem a opç*ao de freio!! tequila

 mad jay 184 points

you'll need to solder the 2 wires on 1 end(red & black)to some sort of battery plug and the 3 wires on the other end to the motor. Hope this helps.

Depois de tudo soldado, vc precisa programa-lo. Sugiro fazer uma pesquisa no Youtube primeiro.

 Guhan 1 points

you will need to attach 3 gold bullet connectors 3.5mm at the end of the 3 wires leading to the motor and the XT60 connector for the two wires leading to battery. check the polarity before connecting.Here is the link to get these two :- 1) www.link www.link

I think they both come from the same company. Sometimes companies use a different name until a product has proven itself. Dunno if this is the case here,but I haven't had any problems with mine yet.

yo tengo uno pero no es como un turnigy

 mad jay 184 points

I hope so. I've just ordered one. It says on the listing that the BEC current is admitidly only 1.5 amp, but in answer, yes it must have. It doesn't say OPTO on it! The reviews and the price seem good. Can't lose really.

 AirwolfPL 7 points

Yes, it does have BEC.

 Kellyann 16223 points

Sir that is a good thing to ask. I have not ever bought a 30a esc that does not have a bec but I guess they are around. But this one does. It says so in the listing,you must have missed it. (Easy Done) BEC Current: 1.5A I hope this helps. Spec. Current max: 33Amp FET: 15 BEC Current: 1.5A Timing: Auto PWM: 8k Lipo: 2-3 NiMH: 4~12

Pode seguir a programacao dos Turnigy. Procure um esc da Turnigy e vah na aba Files que tem.

 Lucastomio 157 points

Can be programmed with Turnigy card,the Turnigy programing card is enable to programing TP also. It cost less than 8,00 USD. Good luck

 jojoles 290 points

yes, it is enought. in my mustang i have instaled 4HXT 9g servos and work super. good luck

 Lucastomio 157 points

yes, i use 5 servos on my plane and no problem at all

 cia@polka.co.za 13 points

jip no problem

 gillb 9 points

no problrem

 jojoles 290 points

yes, yes yes...nice ESC and work perfect!!! with this prop on this motor you just suck from battery only 19,5A! :-)

 Lucastomio 157 points

LOL, is the same configuration i use, and no problem at all, it works perfect.

 gillb 9 points

will work with a 9*6 prop

 Kellyann 16223 points

Sir please note all the above info is great and correct. But I used a 30A bec with this 35-30c motor and it went well UNTIL. Untill the 4 flight when the ESC burnt out. So do you self a favor and buy a 40a or 60a ESC. When mine went up it took the Plane with it. So a little saving here cost me my best Aircraft. I hope this helps

 desiclad maafia 22 points

exactly same issue with me too.....tried with 2 different 3S batteries..... have you found some remedy for that...??

 woreis 31 points

Not bad for 3 cell

 foamcoreflyer 24 points

I found out that if it's a really rapid beeping (.25sec between beeps) then it's an incorrect throttle range and it thinks it's not at zero throttle. It doesn't say how to program throttle range, so I just use trim to shut it up. Now it works fine!

 Mr. Liu 40 points

It can be programming by Turnigy Programming Card too. I've done with that and satisfy so far with this esc :)

 foamcoreflyer 24 points

I looked over the Turnigy card and its manual and don't see any kind of throttle range setting. This RCG thread talks about a TP Programming Box and includes a PDF manual. I don't think HK sells them anymore though... Worth looking www.link

You need to go into the menu and set it to soft cut-off. It will then gradually cut the power when approaching the cut-off. How to do this: Connect Engine to speed controller. Connect Receiver to speed controller. Start your Transmitter. Put the throttle to max position. Supply power to the speed controller (It MUST be connected to an engine at this point!) It will play a short multi tone tune. Then you will be in the menu. It will beep as follows: * Short beep, - long beep. * = * Break Off, ** Break on ** = * Li-Po, ** NiMH *** = * Soft cutoff, ** Hard cutoff **** = * Low threshold, ** Medium, *** High - = * Normal startup, ** Soft, *** Super soft -* = * Low timing, ** Medium, *** High timing -** = * Set all to default ** = EXIT To enter a menu option pull the throttle to min. You will hear a confirmation beep, then it will start beeping the selections (see above). Example: To set soft cutoff: Throttle to max, enter menu music, one beep, pause, two beeps, pause, three beeps, throttle to min, confirmation tone, pause, one beep, throttle to max, confirmation beep, pause four beeps, pause, one long beep, pause, one long beep one short beep, pause, two long beeps, throttle to max, confirmation beep, throttle to min directly after confirmation beep or you'll enter the menu again). The menu will repeat after the two long beeps if you missed your choice. Hope this helps.

Humm the list looks awfull without line breaks... Trying again: * = * Break Off, ** Break on ** = * Li-Po, ** NiMH *** = * Soft cutoff, ** Hard cutoff **** = * Low threshold, ** Medium, *** High - = * Normal startup, ** Soft, *** Super soft -* = * Low timing, ** Medium, *** High timing -** = * Set all to default ** = EXIT

 SEALen 69 points

Nope... humms... test..
test 2

 SEALen 69 points

Okej now then: * = * Break Off, ** Break on
** = * Li-Po, ** NiMH
*** = * Soft cutoff, ** Hard cutoff
**** = * Low threshold, ** Medium, *** High
- = * Normal startup, ** Soft, *** Super soft
-* = * Low timing, ** Medium, *** High timing
-** = * Set all to default
** = EXIT

The english manual coming with your speed, but programing with your radio`s stick is not easy. Better way is to buy a programing card, the Turnigy programing card is enable to programing TP also. It cost less than 8,00 USD. Good luck

Toward pro is the same as tower pro, it's just relabeled.
Thank You!

 downloader 376 points

Yes you can, a brushless esc is pretty much like a servo, but this one doesn't have reverse.
Thank You!

 eglider 48 points

You won't need a battery for the rx as this is a bec(battery eliminator circuit) speed controller.

 AVISHEK GHOSH 114 points

This speed controller has BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) enabled so it does not require a battery with receiver.

 websterphreaky 642 points

It is only a 30A ESC, don't expect more than 1.5A from a 30A speed controller!

 Beaufighter 1808 points

No reverse

 karolpenconek 616 points

Yes, why not?

 AVISHEK GHOSH 114 points

Yes you could use it but you have to remember throttle stick gives 70%output means if you move the throttle more than 70% the performance will remain same. Not suitable for heli doing 3D(Idle Up) because the throttle range is too low.

To program the ESC you must connect the motor and ESC to the receiver.
1. Turn on the transmitter and place the throttle stick to full power position (full up position).
2. Energize the ESC by connecting the battery or power source to the speed controller. Five
seconds after making the connection, you will hear a musical tone.
3. Move the throttle stick to half throttle. You will then hear each parameters musical tone twice, with
a 3 second delay between each.
4. When you hear the tone to the parameter you want to change move the stick to full throttle. This
will allow you to set the parameters to your specifications. The following symbols indicate the
different main parameters with dashes representing number of tones
? Cell Type and Number
? BRAKE
? TIMING MODE
? Voltage Protection
After you have selected which main parameter to change, you will enter the sub-parameters. The
procedure for setting them is the same as above. You will hear each musical sequence twice for
each sub-parameter, and you will have three seconds between each sounding to move the throttle
to full up position to save your choice. To confirm your choice you will hear a sharper tone indicating,
this parameter has been saved. Below are the sub parameters for each of the above.
1. Cell Number and Type.
? 2LIPO or NiMh/Nicd AUTO( 0.8V/CELL*
? 3LIPO ( 2.75V/CELL)
? 4LIPO( 2.75V/CELL)
? 5LIPO( 2.75V/CELL)
2. BRAKE SET
NO_Brake
SOFT_Brake
MID_Brake
HARD_Brake
3. TIMING MODE SETTING
2
7
15
30
4. VOLTAGE PROTECTION
2.8V/CELL
2.9V/CELL
3.0V/CELL
Once more after you hear the parameter choice you want move the throttle stick to the full up
position. You will hear a long sharp BEEP, this tone indicates the option to be saved and the system
returns to the programming menu. When you have finished all programming pull the throttle stick to
full down position, the speed control will make one final save of all settings and will arm the motor.
You can now power up the motor!

Pls be careful, it becomes heated so early, and also violence cut-off. But works quietly.
