transmitter adjustments using a receiver battery pack

For proper ESC operation, adjust transmitter as follows:

A. Set HIGH ATV or EPA to maximum setting.

[amount of throw at full throttle]

B. Set LOW ATV, EPA, or ATL to maximum setting.

[amount of throw at full brakes]

C. Set EXPONENTIAL to zero setting. [throttle channel linearity]

D. Set THROTTLE CHANNEL REV. SWITCH to either position.

E. Set THROTTLE CHANNEL TRIM to middle setting.

[adjusts neutral position/increases or decreases coast brakes]

F. Set ELECTRONIC TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to 50%

throttle and 50% brake throw (or 5:5).

[adjusts trigger throw electronic/digital pistol-grip transmitters]

G. Set MECHANICAL TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to position with 1/2 throttle and 1/2 brake throw.

[adjusts trigger throw on mechanical/analog pistol-grip transmitters]

If using an external receiver battery pack with the Super Duty XR:

1. Plug an external 5 cell (1.2VDC/cell) receiver battery pack into the battery slot of the receiver.

2. Leave the Super Duty XR’s ON/OFF switch in the OFF position, and use receiver battery pack’s ON/OFF switch to turn the

system power on and off––Do not use the ESC’s switch.

12VDC BATTERY NOTE: An external receiver battery pack should be used when using the Super Duty XR’s with a single

12 volt battery, like a lead acid or gel cell. The ESC’s built-in

B.E.C. will provide limited output due to the high voltage directed through the single battery input, resulting in degraded servo and receiver performance.

one-touch programming

With ESC connected to (at least) a receiver & a charged battery pack:

1. TURN ON THE TRANSMITTER’S POWER

2. PRESS & HOLD ESC’S ONE-TOUCH/SET BUTTON

3. TURN ON THE SPEED CONTROL’S POWER

With transmitter throttle at neutral, and still pressing the SET button, slide the ESC’s ON/OFF switch to ON position.

4. CONTINUE HOLDING SET BUTTON UNTIL RED LED COMES ON

5. RELEASE SET BUTTON AS SOON AS LED TURNS RED

6. PULL TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-ON POSITION

Hold it there until the green status LED turns solid green.

Note: Motor will not run during programming even if connected.

7. PUSH TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-BRAKES

Hold it there until the green status LED blinks green.

8. RETURN TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO NEUTRAL

Red status LED will turn solid red, indicating that throttle is at neutral, and proper programming has been completed--you’re done.

NOTE: If transmitter setting are changed, programming must be repeated. If you experience any problems, turn off ESC and repeat programming.

throttle program selection

The Super Duty XR has 3 user-selectable Throttle Programs to choose from:

PROGRAM #1: Forward, brakes, and full power reverse.

PROGRAM #2: Forward & brakes only--reverse disabled.

PROGRAM #3: Forward, brakes, and 25% power reverse.

::

With ESC connected to a charged battery (transmitter ON or OFF):

1. IF TRANSMITTER IS OFF, DISCONNECT ESC FROM RECEIVER

To avoid possible radio interference from other transmitters, remove the Super Duty XR’s input signal harness from the receiver.

2. TURN ON THE SPEED CONTROL’S POWER

3. PRESS & HOLD THE ONE-TOUCH SET BUTTON

Continue to hold SET button on ESC until both LEDs turns on.

4. RELEASE SET BUTTON AS SOON AS BOTH LEDs COMES ON

Once released, the status LEDs will flash to indicate what Throttle

Program is currently selected. The number of times the LEDs flash indicates the Throttle Program selection (1 of 3).

5. QUICK PRESS (& release) SET BUTTON TO CHANGE SELECTION

Each press will change to the next consecutive Throttle Program.

(After Program 3, the sequence begins again at Program 1)

Note: there is a time constraint during this selection process.

If SET button is not pressed for about 3 seconds, ESC will exit to neutral.

6. ESC STORES SELECTION & EXITS TO NEUTRAL

When SET button is not pressed for about 3 seconds, the selected

Program is stored into memory & the red LED will come on solid.

The speed control is at neutral & ready to go.

NOTE: Whenever the One-Touch set-up is performed, the Super Duty XR will automatically revert to the factory default setting of Throttle Program #1.

The Super Duty XR is epuipped with the industry standard receiver input connector on a user-replaceable input harness that works with

all the major radio brand’s new receivers. However, some very old receivers must have the wiring sequence inside the plastic 3-pin connector housing changed. This is an important step, because the receiver electronics may be damaged if the sequence is not correct.

@

JR, Hitec, Futaba, new KO, & Airtronics Z receivers do not need input harness re-wiring.

Airtronics Z receivers have blue plastic cases & new

KO cases have tabs on the input harness openings as in Figure 1.

• Plug the connector on one end of the input harness into the receiver with the BLACK wire toward the outside edge of receiver case.

• Plug the other end of the input harness into 3-pin header inside rectangular opening on top of the Super Duty XR’s case with the

WHITE wire toward the ‘S’ (signal) marking on the ESC’s label.

If you have an older KO or Sanwa/Airtronics, you must change the sequence of the ESC’s input harness wires-Old Sanwa/Airtronics cases are black color & Old KO cases do not have tab openings, as in Figure 2 above.

• Using a small standard/flat blade screwdriver, remove the red and

black wires from the plastic connector housing at the receiver end of the input harness as in Figure 3 below.

• Interchange the red and black wires in the plastic 3-pin connector housing at the receiver end of the input harness.

• Insert modified end of the harness into the receiver with the RED

wire toward the outside edge of receiver case.

MOUNTiNG ESC

Mount ESC where its power wires will be away from other electronics and won’t interfere with moving parts. If possible, select a location that allows airflow through the heat sinks-If the ESC gets some air flow, it will run cooler; and that means it will be more efficient, and you’ll go faster!

For single battery pack use, proceed to STEP 3 & 4 before completing STEP 2

• Mount Super Duty XR in the vehicle with the included doublesided tape (in the Traxxas E-Maxx, use the stock mounting screws).

• Mount Power Capacitor to chassis with double-sided tape or tie-wrap.

If Power Cap. becomes dented/damaged, ESC failure can occur--replace

immediately. Longer Power Capacitor wires decrease performance.

• Install the ON/OFF switch using a screw or double-sided tape where it will be easy to access.

• Be sure receiver & antenna are mounted as far from ESC, power wires, battery, and servo as possible--these components all emit

RF noise when throttle is being applied. On graphite or aluminum chassis vehicles, it may help to place receiver on edge with crystal

& antenna as far above chassis as possible.

Note: Mount antenna as close to receiver as possible--trail any excess wire off top of antenna mast (cutting or coiling excess antenna wire will reduce radio range).

1. MOTOR CAPACITORS

Electric motors generate RF noise that causes interference. The included 0.1

µ F (50V) non-polarized, ceramic capacitors must be used on all motors to reduce motor noise & prevent ESC damage.

Note: Some motors come with capacitors built-in. If your motor only has two capacitors, you need to install a capacitor between the positive & negative motor tabs.

If you experience radio inter-ference when using only the built-in capacitors, install external ones.

2.

DO NOT USE SCHOTTKY DIODES

Schottky diodes must NOT be used with reversible speed controls. Using a Schottky diode will damage the speed control and void the product’s warranty.

3. USE NEUTRALLY TIMED MOTORS

Using motors with other than 0

°

timing will draw excessive current in reverse, and result in speed control overheating and premature motor wear.

Modified motors (with adjustable end bells) are recommended, and should be timed to 0

°

for optimum performance.

You should not use stock motors that are used for racing (with

fixed end bells) as these motors usually have very high timing and run very poorly in reverse. Johnson or Mabuchi motors that come with car kits are not timed as aggressively and also work well--these motors usually last longer also.

The Super duty XR is very powerful, and capable of very efficient delivery of battery power to the vehicle’s motor. Therefore, good connections must be made between the battery, speed control, and motor. A common cause of perfomance problems & ESC failures is poor connections--If you have any doubts about your soldering skill, we suggest seeking assistance at your hobby shop or track.

::

• Keep the ESC and its power wires away from other electronics in the vehicle, especially the receiver & antenna.

• Do not bundle receiver/signal wires with other wires--messy installations account for nearly all radio interference (glitching) problems. A clean looking install almost always works better.

• Route ESC wires to clear any moving parts in the vehicle.

Once you’ve mounted the Super Duty XR, it’s time for some wiring.

The Super Duty XR is wired for two battery packs, and is equipped with high-power versions of JST/Tamiya-style battery connectors so you can use standard sport battery packs.

Using different style connectors will be discussed at the end of this section.

1. BATTERY PACK CONNECTIONS

The Super Duty XR is designed to be used with two battery packs. However, it can also be used with one standard R/C battery pack (6 or 7 cells @

1.2VDC/cell) or with one 12 volt DC battery. Using the Super Duty with a single battery requires special wiring and is discussed in this step.

:: a.

Connect one battery pack (6-7 cells @ 1.2VDC/cell) to the JST/Tamiya connector at the end of the red & black wires coming from the

ESC’s BAT.1 solder tabs as marked on the Super Duty’s case labels.

b.

Connect a second battery pack to the JST/Tamiya connector coming from the ESC’s BAT.2 solder tabs.

::

To use the Super Duty XR with a single 6 or 7 cell (1.2VDC/cell) pack or a 12VDC battery, the battery must be connected to the BAT.2

input, and the wires from the BAT.1 input must be shorted together.

{Refer to FIGURE 6 below} a.

Cut the black wire coming from the BAT.1 (–) solder tab (battery wire closest to the front of ESC) about 2-3” above the solder tab.

b.

Strip a 1/8-1/4” of insulation off the end of the BAT.1 (–) black wire. Tightly twist the strands of wire & lightly tin with solder.

CAUTION: When making battery wire solder connections at the

Super Duty XR’s Direct-Solder Wiring Tabs, it is important to not overheat & damage PCB (printed ciruit board) with the soldering iron by applying prolonged or excessive heating (PCB damage voids warranty) .

c.

Remove the red wire from the BAT.1 (+) solder tab.

Use a soldering iron to apply heat to the wire’s solder joint while gently pulling on the wire to remove it from the PC Board’s hole.

d.

Solder the stripped & tinned end of the black wire coming from the ESC’s BAT.1 (–) solder tab into the BAT.1 (+) solder tab.

Insert the wire end into the BAT.1 (+) solder tab hole (if there is still solder in the hole you can melt it with the iron while pushing the wire through the hole) . Apply heat to the section of wire that is sticking through the tab’s hole, and add solder to the tip of the soldering iron and to the wire. Add just enough solder to form a clean & continuous

joint from the plated area of the solder tab up onto the wire. Use side cutters to trim excess wire above tab (about 1/16”) .

e.

Connect the battery pack (6-7 cells @ 1.2VDC/cell) to the JST/Tamiya connector at the end of the red & black wires coming from the

ESC’s BAT.2 solder tabs as marked on the Super Duty’s case labels.

f.

USING A SINGLE BATTERY WITH VOLTAGE ABOVE 8.4VDC

When using a single 12VDC battery (like lead acid or a gell cell), there is limited output from the B.E.C. circuit. A separate receiver battery pack can be used for improved servo/receiver performance.

2. MOTOR CONNECTIONS using a single moto r

:: a.

Cut the ends of the Super Duty XR’s blue & yellow wires to the proper length so they will reach the tabs of the motor and strip

1/8-1/4” of insulation off the ends. Twist & tin the end of the wires.

b.

Solder the end of the ESC’s blue wire to motor negative (–) .

c.

Solder the end of the ESC’s yellow wire to motor positive (+) .

TIP: Twisting the BLUE & YELLOW wires as they go to the motor helps reduce RF noise emitted from power wires.

To use the ESC with 2 motors in parallel (most common way to wire two motors for getting higher speed), the Super Duty

XR’s blue motor wire goes to the negative (–) tab of both motors, and the yellow motor wire goes to the positive (+) tab of both motors as shown in the main set-up photo (Figure 5).

To use the ESC with 2 motors in series (low speed wiring method for long run time), the Super Duty

XR’s blue motor wire goes to the negative (–) tab of the 1st motor, the yellow motor wire goes to the positive (+) tab of the 2nd motor, and a jumper wire connects the positive (+) tab of the 1st motor to the negative (–) tab of the

2nd motor as shown here.

The Super Duty XR comes with the best available power Capacitor that drops ESC operating temperatures by 10-15

°

F (remember, cooler

means your ESC will be more efficient & faster) and dissipates noise & voltage spikes from the speed control’s high switching speed.

You MUST use Novak Power Capacitors--other capacitors with similar ratings don’t provide the same protection. We’ve done extensive research to find capacitors with the very best quality factors.

If you are going to use connectors for your motor, or change the factory installed battery connectors, we suggest the Dean’s Ultra Connectors.

When installing battery & motor connectors, please note the following:

• If you have any doubts about your soldering skills, seek assistance from your hobby shop or track, or see our website for tips.

• Use connectors that cannot be plugged in backwards--reverse voltage will damage the Super Duty XR and void the warranty.

• Use a female connector on battery packs to avoid shorting.

• If using connectors for both battery & motor leads, use a male connector on the battery leads and a female on the motor lead to prevent cross connection (also voids warranty).
