    Motor geari ng i s a recommended start i ng
    poi nt ONLY; Always start with the smal l est pi ni on
    and l argest spur avai l abl e for your application.
    Pinion and spur gear sizes refer to tooth count. The
    pinion is the small gear on the motor and the spur is
    the large one attached to the car; all gears refer to
    48 pitch.
    Always check your motor temperature frequently on the
    first run after changing the gearing, motor or battery!
    Never l et the motor get above 200F. If you
    cant touch the motor for 2 seconds, its too hot.
    If the motor gets too hot, reduce the pinion size,
    increase the spur size, or reduce the pack voltage.
    Speeds are est i mates only. Actual speeds for
    your model may vary, depending on a variety of factors,
    including tire size, the cars internal gear ratio, and
    the battery quality.
    QUICK STArT GUIDE
    1. Solder a high quality battery connector to the ESC.
    2. Mount the ESC and motor into the car.
    3. Plug in the 3 motor wires to the 3 motor wires on the ESC.

    5. Make sure the ESCs switch is off.
    6. Plug in a battery.
    7. Holding full throttle on your transmitter, turn the switch ON.
    A. After a few seconds youll hear multiple tones and the red LED will come on.
