MS-1 ELECTRONIC
SPEED CONTROL
™
Thank you for choosing TrakPower as your
source for brushless electronics. The MS-1
ESC was specifi cally developed for 1/10th
competition. The MS-1 ESC features an
aluminum CNC machined case which is
designed as a heat sink to reduce operating
temperatures and eliminate the need for a
cooling fan. The switch and receiver lead
exit the top of the case to allow the ESC to
fi t into the smallest areas, and gold-plated
solder posts provide the best option for
solder connections. Pre-installed power
capacitors ensure power is available
for when it is demanded. The MS-1 also
features “blinky” mode, a popular race
mode for stock class racing.
It is strongly recommended to
completely read this manual before
use! Damage resulting from misuse or
modification will void your warranty.
Troubleshooting
Below is a reference for troubleshooting. These are common problems with easy solutions. If a
problem other than what is listed below exists, contact Hobby Services for assistance.
Green and Red fl ashing LED: No signal. Check to see if transmitter is turned on. Also be sure
that the ESC lead is plugged into Channel 2 of the receiver.
Turning the steering wheel causes motor to spin: ESC lead is plugged into Channel 1 of
receiver. Reinstall into Channel 2.
Blue LED illuminates normally but nothing happens when throttle is applied:
Check that
the sensor wire is plugged in securely to both the ESC and motor. Also check that the A, B and C
wires are soldered correctly to the motor tabs and there is not a solder bridge between the tabs.
LEDs illuminate normally but motor does not spin every time throttle is applied: Ensure
that the wires that connect the ESC and motors are connected and soldered well. Also, be sure
that the battery is charged.
Solid Blue and Red LEDs: Low voltage cut-off. The LiPo battery is equal to or less than the
programmed low voltage cut-off point. Turn off ESC and re-charge battery.
Solid Red and Green LEDs: Thermal protection. The ESC has reached an unsafe temperature
for operation and has shut down to protect itself. Allow the ESC to cool to room temperature
before attempting another run. If the ESC continues to enter thermal protection mode, a
different gearing option might need to be considered.
Warranty
TrakPower warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 120 days
from the date of purchase. During that period, we will repair or replace, at our option, any product that does not
meet these standards. You will be required to provide proof of purchase date (receipt or invoice). If, during the
warranty period, your motor shows defects caused by abuse, misuse or accident, it will be repaired or replaced
at our option, at a service charge not greater than 50% of the current retail list price. Be sure to include your
daytime telephone number in case we need to contact you about your repair. This warranty does not cover
components worn by use, application or reverse voltage, cross connections, poor installation, subjection of
components to foreign materials, or tampering. In no case shall our liability exceed the original cost of the
product. Your warranty is voided if:
•
You apply an input voltage that exceeds the maximum specifi cations of the ESC.
•
You allow water or moisture to enter the ESC.
•
You attempt to modify or tamper this ESC.
Under no circumstances will the purchaser be entitled to consequential or incidental damages. This warranty
gives you specifi c legal rights, and you have other rights which vary from state to state.
For service to your TrakPower ESC, either in or out of warranty, send it post-paid and insured to
