INSTALLATION - CONNECTION

ATTACHMENT: Attach the dDrive to the car's motor mount using 3mm metric screws. If a motor was already fitted to your car, you will likely be able to re-use the same screws. Adjust the motor so that there is about 0.5mm play between the gear and pinion.

WARNING! If the motor screws are too long, you risk shorting and damaging the motor!

GEARING: You can use the original pinion that came with your car. However, you may also need to change the gearing to get optimal performance. If the dDrive overheats use a smaller pinion, if the car is slow and the motor temperature is low, you can use a bigger pinion to increase performance.

CONNECTION: The dDrive is equipped with a battery connector, a receiver plug and a power/setup switch. Connect the ESC receiver plug to the channel 2 of your receiver and secure the switch with double-sided tape to the car chassis.

BATTERY: Use a 2S LiPo 7.4V (recommended) or 6- 7 cell NiMH 7.2- 8.4V battery as a power source. The battery must be equipped with a Deans® type connector compatible with the one installed on the ESC. Using low grade batteries, adapters or modifying the ESC connectors, can cause loss of performance, damage, or void the warranty.

ESC CALIBRATION

In order to ensure proper function, the ESC must be calibrated to your transmitter inputs. It is recommended to center the trims and reset all settings inside the transmitter before proceeding with the calibration. Follow the procedure below to calibrate your ESC

A. Switch off the ESC and switch the transmitter on,

B. Press and hold the SET button (located on the ESC's switch), then switch on the ESC. Release the SET button as soon as the red LED starts to flash.

C. Calibrate the throttle points by pressing the SET button once after each step.

1. neutral point (1 green flash)
2. full throttle (2 green flashes)
3. full brakes/reverse (3 green flashes)

D. The motor will run 3 seconds after the last step is completed.

STATUS LED FUNCTION

• In the neutral position, no LED are lit.
• The red LED lights when the car is moving forward, backwards or when braking.
• At full throttle the green LED is lit.

AUDIO WARNING TONES

1. Input voltage problem: ESC checks the input voltage as it is switched on, if a problem is detected, the ESC emits repeatedly two beeps with a 1 second pause and the green LED flashes simultaneously (xx-xx-xx).
2. Radio signal problem: ESC checks the radio signal input as it is switched on, if a problem is detected, the ESC emits repeatedly a beep with a 2 second pause and the green LED flashes simultaneously (x-x-x).

ESC ADVANCED SETUP

You can adjust certain parameters by using the SET button located on the ESC's switch. To adjust the parameters, follow the procedure below.

A. Switch on the ESC.
B. Press the SET button and release it when the green LED starts flashing.
C. Use the SET button to cycle between the various adjustable parameters. The number of green flashes indicates the parameter, one flash = running mode, two flashes = low voltage cut-off and so on. The ESC will cycle through all the adjustable parameters in a loop.
D. Once the green LED is flashing the number of times

relative to the parameter you wish to modify, press the SET button until the red LED starts flashing, indicating the current setting for that parameter, one flash = setting one, two flashes = setting two, etc.

E. Press the SET button to change the current setting value, the ESC will cycle through all the available settings.
F. Once the red LED is flashing the number of times relative to the setting you wish to use, press the SET button for 3 seconds. The setting is saved.
G. Switch off the ESC to exit programming mode

ADJUSTABLE PARAMETERS

Running Mode

1) "Forward Only with Brake" this mode is meant for competition use. In this mode the car can go forward and brake, there is no reverse.
2) "Forward/Reverse with Brake" this is the basic all-around mode. In this mode the car can go forward and reverse and can also brake. When you move the throttle to the reverse position while the car is moving forward, brakes are applied until the car is fully stopped, reverse cannot engage while the car is moving. To engage reverse, once the car has stopped, release the brakes and move the throttle to the reverse position again. While braking or in reverse, if the throttle is moved to the forward position, the car will immediately accelerate forward.

Low Voltage Cut-off

This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the battery's voltage. If the voltage becomes lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the output power is shut off and the red LED flashes twice repeatedly.

Start mode "punch"

This parameter sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level1 gives a softer initial acceleration and level 9 gives a stronger initial acceleration.

Max brake force

This parameter adjusts the maximum breaking force. A higher value provides stronger braking but also makes the ESC to run hotter and may cause overheating issues.

Motor rotation direction

This parameter adjusts the motor rotation direction, counter clockwise (CCW, default) or clockwise (CW).

With the throttle in the neutral position, press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds, the red and green LED will flash simultaneously indicating that the parameters have been reset to the factory default values.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In case of malfunction, check the connections, settings and installation. Make sure that the batteries are also charged and functional.

NOTE: Using low power NiMH batteries can cause the dDrive to overheat and have low performance. Use of LiPo batteries is recommended.

Recommended working temperature: For optimal performance, adjust the gearing and ESC settings so that the outer case temperature is comprised between 60 - 80^ C max (140-175°F max).

Overheating and/or stutter: Make sure that the car's transmission runs freely. Check the gearing, use a smaller pinion if necessary.

Low performance: Make sure that the car's transmission runs freely. Check the gearing, if the motor temperature is low, you can use a bigger pinion to increase performance.

Do not use the dDrive if the case, connectors or wires are damaged. Stop using the dDrive immediately if it overheats excessively, melts or emits smoke.

If you are unable to solve the issue, stop using the ESC and seek assistance from your local Team Orion reseller.
