B. Attaching the Battery Connector:
Attach the battery connector to the side of the ESC that has only two power wires (black & red) and the receiver
wire. Cut the power wires to the length you need. Using wire strippers or a sharp hobby knife, strip off the wire
insulation exposing just enough wire to attach the battery connectors to the exposed wires and then solder the
connector to the wire. MAKE SURE THE POLARITY IS CORRECT (red wire to red battery wire, black wire to black
battery wire)
C. Connecting the Motor:
Connect the motor to the three black motor wires. NOTE: The ESC already has female 3.5mm bullet plugs installed.
Bench test the motor connections to check the rotation of the motor. Change the rotation of the motor by swapping
any two of the three motor wire connections. You may also change the ESC programming to reverse the rotation of
the motor (Please see the Programming Mode Section VI. Pg.4).
NOTE: MAKE SURE THE POLARITY IS CORRECT BEFORE ATTACHING THE BATTERY TO THE ESC!
INCORRECT POLARITY WILL DAMAGE THE ESC!

D. Connecting the Receiver:
Connect the receiver (RX) to the throttle channel on your receiver using the three wire receiver lead (Red,
White, Black wire bundle) DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY TO THE RECEIVER! The Venom Brushless ESC™
is designed to supply power to the receiver and servos through the receiver lead.
NOTE: If you are using more than twelve NiCD/ NiMH cells, you must use a separate receiver battery. For instructions on
setting up your Venom Brushless ESC™ for use with a separate receiver battery, please see Section V. Battery
Elimination Circuit (BEC) on Pg.3.
III. Using the Venom Brushless ESC™ for the fist time:
After making sure all of the wire connections are correct, make sure the throttle stick is in the throttle down/off position
and connect the battery to the ESC. If all settings are correct you will hear a single “beep” confirming that it has armed.
If you move the throttle stick the motor will start running. If the ESC “beeps” twice with throttle stick in the throttle
down/off position, the throttle is reversed. Disconnect the battery from the ESC and reverse the input direction (reverse
the servo direction) on your transmitter.
NOTE: ALWAYS PROPERLY TEST YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE FLYING YOUR MODEL.
IV. Preflight:
NOTE: Always perform a range check before every flight. Make sure to range test your model at full throttle, half
throttle and no throttle to make sure your model works in all conditions.
Pg. 2/8
A. ESC Initialization:
1) Turn on the transmitter and make sure the throttle stick is in the throttle down/off position.
2) Connect the battery to the ESC. You should see the red LED on the ESC “flash” once and hear a “beep”,
Indicating the system has power.
3) The ESC will arm itself after 2 seconds in the throttle down/off position. When the ESC arms, it will confirm its
setting with one “beep” or two “beeps” with the red LED flashing the same number of times. One “beep” and one
“flash” indicates that the brake is set in the off position. Two “beeps” and two “flashes” indicates that the ESC
has prop braking enabled (Please see the Programming Mode Section VI. Pg.4)
4) Your model is now ready for flight.
V. ESC Features:
A. Battery Elimination Circuit (BEC):
With BEC enabled, the ESC will supply power to the receiver and servos through the receiver wire. If you want to
use a separate receiver battery you will need to disable the BEC by disconnecting the red wire on the receiver wire
bundle. You can disconnect the red wire by removing the metal pin of the red wire from the plastic connector. Make
sure to insulate the wire with shrink tube or electrical tape to prevent shorts.
B. Brake Mode:
Moving the transmitter throttle stick to the throttle down/off position activates the prop brake feature if the feature
has been selected in the Programming Mode (see pg.6 Brake Mode Menu). Use prop brake for models that have
folding props, or aircraft with no landing gear.
C. Low Voltage Cut-off:
The Venom Brushless ESC™ will cut the power to the motor when the battery voltage drops below the programed
cut-off voltage (factory preset at 6.0 volts) for more than a 1/2 second. Once the Low Voltage Cut-off has been
initiated, moving the throttle stick to the throttle down/off position will reset the ESC, allowing the user to throttle up
for a few seconds to safely land the model.
NOTE: Repeated resetting of the system may drain the battery below safe operating levels causing a
loss of control of the model and damage to the battery.
D. Radio Fail Safe:
The Venom Brushless ESC™ has a built in Radio Fail Safe that will cut power to the motor if it detects a loss of
transmitter signal or excessive radio interference. After a radio connection has been re-established, move the
throttle stick to the throttle down/off position for four seconds to reset the system and restart the motor.
E. Safe Arming System:
The Safe Arming System is designed to prevent the motor from starting accidently on initial power up, protecting the
user from serious injury or damage to the model. To arm the ESC, the throttle stick must be in the throttle down/off
position for two seconds.
NOTE: Until the ESC is armed, it will not provide any power to the motor, regardless of the throttle stick position.
Before flying your model, it is always good idea to test the throttle to make sure the ESC is armed. Use the red
LED on the ESC to check that the controller is reaching full throttle. When full throttle is reached the red LED
should be brightly lit.
F. Ferrite Rings:
Ferrite Rings have been installed on the speed control leads of the 60, 80 and 120 amp V-Series brushless ESCs.
These ESCs are generally used in high power applications that can generate electronic interference. This can disrupt
the receiver signal and cause glitching. When the ESC lead that connects to the Throttle Channel on your receiver is
looped around a Ferrite Ring, the ring acts as a noise filter, cleaning up any unwanted interference caused by the
motor or ESC.
Pg. 3/8
VI. Programing the Venom Brushless ESC™:
The Venom Brushless ESC™ has been designed to make programing easy. You can program the ESC using a
computer and the V-series USB Cable and Software Kit (VEN-1380) or through the built-in ESC menu system. The
built-in ESC menu system will ask questions by “beeping” a setting number, followed by the possible setting values.
The Venom Brushless ESC™ has five settings that can be programmed:
NOTE: Venom Brushless ESC Programing Software is also available for download on our site: www.venom-aircorps.com.
1) Low Voltage Cut-off
2) Brake Mode
3) Timing Advance
4) Cut-off Type
5) Motor Rotation
The ESC will present menu selections to you through a series of “beeps” & corresponding red LED “flashes”. To select a
menu as it is presented, move the throttle stick to the full throttle position and hold for two seconds. The ESC will return
to the Programming Mode and present the choices for the selected menu. You can select any of the five menu options in
any order. Change everything or only the features you choose, when you leave the Programming Mode all of the changes
will be saved automatically.
A. Entering the Programming Mode:
The Programming Mode has been designed to make it difficult to accidently enter it during preflight testing or while
in flight. To enter the Programming Mode, please follow these steps:
1) Verify that the ESC is working properly, if this is the first time the Venom Brushless ESC™ is being used,
make sure that it is operating normally with your transmitter. If it is not, programming the ESC will be more
difficult. To check for normal operation, follow the ESC Initialization Steps in Section IV. of this instruction
manual. Once you have verified that the ESC is operating normally, proceed to step 2. If the ESC does not
operate properly, please see the Speed Control Trouble Shooting Guide Section VII. on Pg.8 or contact
Venom Aircorps™ Customer Service.
2) To enter the Programming Mode:
1) Disconnect the battery from the ESC.
2) Move the throttle stick on the transmitter to the “full throttle position”.
3) Reconnect the battery to the ESC.
4) After 2 seconds, the Venom Brushless ESC™ will emit a short ”beep” and the red LED will give a short “flash”
to verify the power is “ON”. After 5 seconds the ESC will “beep” four short “beeps” and six long “beeps”
confirming that it has entered the Programming Mode.
5) The six long “beeps” refer to the six menu options available (Please see the table below or Stick Placement
in Programming Mode diagram on pg.6)

the ESC will enter that menu. (Example: if you want to enter the Motor Rotation Menu, move the throttle stick to
the throttle down/off position during the fifth beep to enter the menu). When you are in the selected menu the
ESC will “beep” the choices for that menu. To select a choice, move the throttle stick to the full throttle position
and hold for 2 seconds. The ESC will “beep” to confirm your selection and then return you to the main Programming
Mode and proceed to cycle through the six menu selections. To exit the Programming Mode, move the throttle
stick to the throttle down/off position during the sixth beep. PLEASE REFER TO THE FOLLOWING TABLES
FOR DETAILS ON EACH MENU SELECTION. NOTE: Please make sure to use the proper graph for your ESC.
