WARNING: Always ensure the connector polarity is correct ( [+] to [+] and [-] to [-] ) before connecting the battery to the ESC. The Reaktor ESC uses a RED wire for [+] and a BLACK wire for [-]. If you connect a battery to the ESC with reverse polarity, the ESC WILL be damaged and this will not be covered under warranty.

WARNING: The ideal running temperature of the Reaktor motor is less than 175 degrees Fahrenheit. The motor temperature should never exceed 200 degrees Fahrenheit. If it does, stop running immediately. To test for tempera-tures this high it is not recommended to use your hands as it is inaccurate and you can get burned. Check with your local hobby dealer about obtaining an inexpensive temperature gun for monitoring your system temperatures.Wiring:

WARNING: ALWAYS ALLOW YOUR MOTOR TO COOL BETWEEN RUNS. EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION AND AGGRESSIVE DRIVING WILL CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO GET HOT. EXERCISE GREAT CARE WHEN HANDLING YOUR VEHICLE AFTER RUNNING TO AVOID GETTING BURNED.

Setting the ESC To Your Transmitter:Note: Always turn your transmitter on first, then the vehicle. For best results it is recommended to hold the transmitter 2-3ft away from the vehicle while performing this operation (i.e., hold the transmitter in left hand extended while setting ESC with right hand).1.

over-discharge.a. When running a LiPo battery it is required to change the included battery connector to a high current connector. We

recommend W.S. Deans Ultra-Plugs (WSD1300) available at your local hobby dealer. Using the supplied connector with LiPo batteries will cause the connector to over-heat and possibly melt which could lead to the battery experiencing a dead-short and causing fire. It is critical that the connector be changed and that you do not try to use an adapter in this application. You can purchase an adapter from Ultra-Plug (F) to Tamiya style (F) from your local hobby dealer which will allow you to continue to use your included Helion battery after you have changed your main power connector.

b. When running a LiPo battery it is also recommended to run the optional (RDNA0026) motor heat sink with cooling fan to keep your motor and ESC running at lower temperatures.

3. NiMH:(Indicatedby3blinksoftheLED)Usingthesupplied1800mAhbatteryrequiresthatyouusetheNIMHmodetoensureproperopera-tionofyourESCandmaximizedperformancefromyourbatteries.Your ESC is pre-configured to this setting.
