User Manual for Hobbywing QUICRUN 10BL60/10BL120 Sensored ESC

Quick Guide from the Manual

The Hobbywing QUICRUN 10BL60/10BL120 is a high-performance sensored/sensorless brushless ESC. Before first use, you must calibrate the throttle range to ensure proper operation. Always disable the ABS brake function on your transmitter and set throttle trim to 0, with D/R, EPA, and ATL at 100%.

Connections

Proper wiring is essential for performance and safety:

• Sensored Motor: Connect the ESC 'SENSOR' port to the motor 'SENSOR' port using the sensor wire. Connect wires #A, #B, and #C to the corresponding motor terminals. Do not swap these.
• Sensorless Motor: Wires #A, #B, and #C can be connected freely. If the motor runs in reverse, swap any two wire connections.
• Battery/Receiver: Ensure the battery polarity is correct. Plug the signal wire into the throttle channel (usually Channel 2) of the receiver.

Throttle Range Calibration

Calibration is required for new ESCs or if transmitter settings (Trim, D/R, EPA) are changed:

1. Turn on the transmitter and set throttle parameters to 100% (or max) and trim to 0.
2. Hold the SET button while switching the ESC to ON. Release the button when the Red LED starts to blink.
3. Neutral Point: With the throttle stick at neutral, press the SET button. The Green LED flashes once and the motor beeps once.
4. Full Forward: Move the throttle stick to the full forward position and press the SET button. The Green LED flashes twice and the motor beeps twice.
5. Full Backward: Move the throttle stick to the full backward position and press the SET button. The Green LED flashes three times and the motor beeps three times.
6. The motor can be started 3 seconds after calibration is finished.

Programming the ESC

You can program the ESC using the SET button on the unit:

• Turn off the ESC, turn on the transmitter.
• Hold the SET button for 3 seconds while switching the ESC ON.
• Release the SET button when the Red LED blinks.
• Press the SET button to cycle through items (Red LED flashes indicate the item number).
• Press and hold the SET button to enter the item, then press SET to select the value (Red LED flashes indicate the option number).
• Switch off the ESC to save settings.

Programmable Items

The ESC features several adjustable parameters:

• Running Mode: Choose between Forward/Brake, Forward/Reverse with Brake, or Forward/Reverse.
• Drag Brake Force: Simulates brushed motor braking when coasting.
• Low Voltage Cut-off: Prevents LiPo battery over-discharge.
• Punch (Start Mode): Adjusts acceleration from soft (Level 1) to aggressive (Level 9).
• Max Brake/Reverse Force: Adjusts the maximum power applied during braking or reversing.
• Timing: Fine-tunes motor output power and speed.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, check the following:

• Motor doesn't start, emits beep-beep: Check battery voltage, switch, or connections.
• Red LED solid, motor doesn't work: Check throttle signal wire/channel.
• Car runs backwards: Swap two motor wires (sensorless) or check radio settings (sensored).
• Motor stutters under heavy acceleration: Check sensor wire, battery discharge rate, or gear ratio.

Specifications

The 10BL60 supports 60A continuous current, while the 10BL120 supports 120A. Both support sensored/sensorless brushless motors and feature built-in BEC (6V@2A for 10BL60, 6V@3A for 10BL120).
