HPI Racing SC-3SWP2 Speed Control F.A.Q.

How do I calibrate the SC-3SWP2 Speed Control to my transmitter?

To calibrate the SC-3SWP2 Speed Control, first ensure the vehicle is off. Turn on your transmitter and set the throttle to the neutral position. Connect the battery and turn on the speed control. Follow the LED instructions: wait for a green LED for neutral, then pull the throttle trigger until you see a red LED for full throttle, and finally push the trigger for reverse until the LED signals completion.

What should I do if the speed control does not respond to the transmitter?

Check the transmitter batteries and ensure they are fully charged. Verify that the receiver is properly bound to the transmitter. Inspect connections between the speed control, receiver, and motor. If the issue persists, recalibrate the speed control as per the manual instructions.

How can I reset the SC-3SWP2 Speed Control to factory settings?

To reset the SC-3SWP2 to factory settings, turn off the speed control. Press and hold the setup button while turning the speed control back on. Continue holding the button until the LED flashes, indicating that the reset is complete.

What is the recommended maintenance for the SC-3SWP2 Speed Control?

Regularly check the connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Clean the speed control with compressed air to remove dust and debris. Avoid exposure to water, and inspect the heat sink for any signs of overheating.

Why is my SC-3SWP2 Speed Control overheating?

Overheating can occur due to excessive load or poor ventilation. Ensure that the motor and battery are within the recommended specifications. Allow adequate airflow around the speed control and consider using a cooling fan if overheating persists.

What ESC mode settings are available on the SC-3SWP2?

The SC-3SWP2 offers multiple mode settings, including Forward/Brake, Forward/Brake/Reverse, and Crawler mode. These can be adjusted using the mode button on the speed control according to the desired driving style.

How can I waterproof my SC-3SWP2 Speed Control?

The SC-3SWP2 is already designed to be waterproof. However, ensure all connections are sealed and use waterproof tape if additional security is needed. Avoid submerging the speed control for extended periods.

What should I do if the motor does not run smoothly with the SC-3SWP2?

First, check the motor connections for any loose wires. Ensure the motor is compatible with the SC-3SWP2 specifications. Calibrate the speed control to the transmitter again. If the issue persists, inspect the motor for wear or damage.

Can I use a LiPo battery with the SC-3SWP2 Speed Control?

Yes, the SC-3SWP2 is compatible with LiPo batteries. Ensure you set the correct battery mode on the speed control to enable low-voltage cutoff protection when using LiPo batteries.

How do I adjust the brake settings on the SC-3SWP2?

To adjust the brake settings, press the setup button multiple times until the LED displays the brake setting mode. Use the throttle trigger to increase or decrease the braking power. Confirm the setting by pressing the setup button again.
