First, turn on your transmitter.
Next, remove the red programming bridge (little red jumper near the battery leads). While you are there, you should also remove the black BEC jumper if you are using a receiver pack or UBEC as recommended. This black tab is near the red jumper, but tucked under the heatshrink. Remove this to disable the BEC and utilize the receiver pack/UBEC.
Now plug in the receiver pack/UBEC and the main batteries and wait. After 5 seconds, you will here a beep from the motor. When you here this beep, move the throttle to full power and wait. after another 5 seconds, you will here another beep. When you here this, move your throttle control to full reverse and wait. After 5 seconds, you will here a double beep, indicating that set up is complete. Now replace the red programming jumper and turn off/unplug your main batteries and receiver pack.
Congratulations, you have just programmed your controller for Forwad/Brakes/Reverse operation and it will operate similar to a regular reversible speed controller. The controller can be set up as a forward/brakes controller, as well. This is done by returning the throttle position to neutral (instead of full reverse)before the final set of beeps (double beeps). For forward only operation, keep the throttle at full throttle (instead of neutral or reverse) before the final set of beeps. This is useful for setups using mechanical brakes.
Now, if the motor goes backwards when you want it to go forward, we can quickly fix that as well. Here goes:
Turn on your radio, plug in the main batteries and receiver battery(or UBEC). While the system is on, remove the red jumper. When you here a beep, put the red jumper back on the controller. That is it! You just reversed the motor direction!
