HPI Racing FLX10-3S80 150238 Speed Control Specification

The HPI Racing FLX10-3S80 150238 Speed Control is a high-performance electronic speed controller (ESC) designed for use in 1/10th scale RC cars. It is engineered to handle a maximum continuous current of 80A, allowing for robust power delivery and efficient management of the vehicle's electric motor. This ESC supports 2S to 3S LiPo batteries, providing flexibility for various power setups and ensuring compatibility with high-capacity energy sources for extended run times.

The FLX10-3S80 is equipped with advanced programmable features, enabling users to fine-tune performance parameters such as throttle response, brake force, and motor timing. These customizable settings enhance the driving experience, catering to both competitive racing and recreational use. The ESC is also integrated with a built-in BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) rated at 6V/3A, ensuring stable voltage supply to the receiver and servos for reliable operation.

Thermal management is a key aspect of the design, with the unit featuring a robust heat sink and cooling fan to prevent overheating during intense use. The ESC's case is constructed to resist dust and water, offering durability and protection in diverse environments. A smooth, precise throttle and brake control is facilitated by the use of high-frequency drive technology, which also aids in reducing power loss and enhancing overall efficiency.

Connectivity with the motor is established via durable 4mm bullet connectors, while the user-friendly interface allows for easy programming through a compatible LED program card or via manual button presses. Compact and lightweight, the HPI Racing FLX10-3S80 150238 Speed Control is designed to optimize performance in electric RC vehicles, making it a versatile choice for hobbyists and racers alike.

HPI Racing FLX10-3S80 150238 Speed Control F.A.Q.

How do I calibrate the HPI Racing FLX10-3S80 150238 Speed Control?

To calibrate the speed control, turn on the transmitter and set the throttle to neutral. Connect the battery to the speed control and press the setup button until the LED starts flashing. Follow the LED prompts to set the full throttle, reverse, and neutral positions.

What should I do if the speed control is not responding to throttle input?

Check if the speed control is properly connected to the receiver. Ensure the transmitter batteries are charged. Also, recalibrate the speed control to ensure it recognizes the throttle positions.

Can the FLX10-3S80 handle a 4S LiPo battery?

No, the FLX10-3S80 is designed for up to a 3S LiPo battery. Using a 4S LiPo may damage the speed control.

How do I perform regular maintenance on the speed control?

Regularly inspect the speed control for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the unit using compressed air to remove dust and debris. Ensure all connections are secure and free from corrosion.

What is the recommended cooling method for this speed control?

Ensure the speed control is mounted in a well-ventilated area. Use a cooling fan if operating in hot environments or under heavy load conditions to prevent overheating.

Why is the LED on the speed control flashing red?

A flashing red LED typically indicates a battery voltage issue or thermal shutdown. Check the battery voltage to ensure it is within the acceptable range and let the unit cool down if overheating.

Can I use this speed control with a brushed motor?

No, the FLX10-3S80 is designed for brushless motors only. Using it with a brushed motor can cause malfunction or damage.

How do I reset the speed control to factory settings?

To reset to factory settings, hold down the setup button while powering on the speed control. Continue holding the button until the LED flashes rapidly, indicating the reset is complete.

What should I do if the motor stutters on startup?

Check the sensor cable connection between the motor and the speed control. Ensure the motor timing is correctly set and verify that the battery is fully charged.

Is it possible to program the speed control settings?

Yes, programming the speed control settings can be done using a compatible programming card or software. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on programming options.
