(But don't worry, you can always reset factory defaults by performing the One-Touch programming again, so go ahead & experiment--that's why the programming is in there, right?)

· Red status LED blinking when throttle is applied. Check motor sensor harness connection at ESC (make sure all metal sockets are fully inserted into the connector's plastic housing)check for damaged wires. Check input signal harness & motor sensor harness connections at ESC. Check input signal harness wiring sequence & connection at throttle channel of receiver. NO SCHOTTKY OR MOTOR CAPS
DO NOT USE Schottky diodes with the SLYDR--ESC damage will occur & void the product warranty. The SLYDR comes with a factory-installed Power Trans-Cap Module, and it MUST be used. NOTE: If Power Trans-Cap becomes dented or damaged,
ESC failure can occur--replace immediately (#5679). Longer wires on the Power TransCap Module will decrease performance.
Mount ESC with power wires away from other electronics & moving parts. Select a location that allows good airflow through and around the heat sink and cooling fan--Good air flow allows ESC to run cooler and more efficient!

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 one end of the input signal harness into the THROTTLE CHANNEL (#2) of receiver with the BLACK wire toward the outside edge of receiver case. · Plug the other end of the input harness onto header pins 4-6 from the left on the side of the ESC with the BLACK wire going onto the 4th pin from the left. Note: All pin wiring designations are called out on the label on the ESC's heat sink.
2. MOUNT ESC IN VEHICLE using the included double-sided tape.

Be sure the receiver & antenna are mounted as far from ESC, power wires, battery, & servo as possible--these components all emit RF noise when the throttle is 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 the antenna as close to the receiver as possible--trail any excess wire off the top of the antenna mast (cutting or coiling the excess antenna wire will reduce radio range).
3. CHECK FOR PROPER GEARING

If you purchased a SLYDR Brushless System, your motor is factory-wired to a Drift Spec Brushless Motor. [. . . ] Cut the speed control's BLACK silicone power wire to the proper length so it will reach the battery pack's NEGATIVE () terminal. Tin and solder the exposed section of wire to battery pack NEGATIVE ().
Note: For use with 2S Li-Po packs, Li-Po Cut-Off must be enabled (refer to page 4).
With ESC connected to (at least) a receiver & a charged battery pack: 1. TURN ON THE SPEED CONTROL'S POWER
Note: The SLYDR's One-Touch/Programming button is combined with the ON/OFF switch on the Remote Power Programming Switch harness.
