FAQ

The female connector of the ProgUNIT must be connected to the ESC/BEC cable.

Yes, with a 2,4 Ghz transmitter the corodial core is necessary to guarantee the EMV rules and a save operation.

If the voltage of the connected battery is more than 10S, we recommend the installation of a anti sparks system. Different solutions are available:

- A special assembly kit with a resistor in parallel to connect the ESC first with the battery and then fully connect the ESC by the standard connector. KONTRONIK offers an equivalent set (order# 9056).

- The special designed anti spark connectors with an 5.5 mm diameter with guarantees the correct connection sequence (order # 9055)

KONTRONIK offers its customers drive recommendations for almost all applications. These can be found in our download section.

We recommend 4-5 cells NiMH, if you use HV servos max. 2 S LiPo.

The series KOBY, JIVE Pro and KOSMIK are online updateable via ProgUNIT.

To updated ECUs of older series, please ship them to our service team with a completed service form.

Yes. A four cell receiver pack is allowed and recommended.

To read the logged data, please use the DataExplorer.

We recommend installing the FUSE into the neg. cable (black).

We recommend a 4-5 cells NiMH or if you use HV servos, max. 2 S LiPo.

Yes, ESCs of the JIVE Pro series are online updateable via K-KONFIG program, therfore you need ProgUNIT.

We recommend 4-5 cells NiMH, if you use HV servos max. 2 S LiPo.

Due to the housing of the JIVE electrolytic capacitors cannot be easily changed. KONTRONIK strongly discourages operation of a JIVE ESC with defective electrolytic capacitors. Operation with defective electrolytic capacitors can lead to malfunctions and destruction of the ESC.

Please contact KONTRONIK service if your JIVEs electrolytic capacitors are defective. Please get in touch with the KONTRONIK service team per mail to ask for our lump sum exchange fee.

The JIVE PRO only unlocks the full BEC voltage if it receives a valid receiver signal.

At BEC currents over 2A a second BEC cable must be used. The second BEC cable is connected to the slave port of the JIVE.

The jumper is necessary to program the ESC. When removed before using throttle and after connecting the battery the ESC gets into programming mode. After the programming procedure the jumper can be placed on his pins again to get not lost.

In the KSA (KONTRONIK Special Application) mode the parameter for dynamic timing are changed. This allows most motors which have starting problems without KSA, to start without trouble. For KONTRONIK motors the KSA mode is not necessary.

4 cells NiMH/NiCd

BEC current: 5-6V

Caution: check the specification of the servos and transmitter first to guarantee the correct input voltage.

Due to the housing of the JIVE electrolytic capacitors cannot be easily changed. KONTRONIK strongly discourages operation of a JIVE ESC with defective electrolytic capacitors. Operation with defective electrolytic capacitors can lead to malfunctions and destruction of the ESC.

Please get in touch with the KONTRONIK service team if your JIVE

We recommend 4-5 cells NiMH, if you use HV servos max. 2 S LiPo.

The KOBY ESC has the final BEC current after the receiver signal is identified correctly. So until no receiver is connected, the battery voltage will remain 5,6 V as standard.

Yes, ESCs of the KOBY series are online updateable via K-KONFIG program, therfore you need ProgUNIT.

The jumper is necessary to program the ESC. When removed before using throttle and after connecting the battery the ESC gets into programming mode. After the programming procedure the jumper can be placed on his pins again to get not lost.

We recommend 4-5 cells NiMH, if you use HV servos max. 2 S LiPo.

The ESCs of the SUN plus line do have a LiPo mode and therefore can handle LiPo batteries.

The older SUN speedcontrollers do not have a proper battery management for LiPo cells, this means the undervoltage shutdown to protect the battery is not working. The controller itself work with LiPo cells.

The index finger of the hand, which is depicted on the silver shield of the controller, indicates the button.

Ball bearings of KONTRONIK motors can be exchanged using KONTRONIK Service. Please send the motor - without additionally attached parts, e.g. pinions - together with the completed service form to KONTRONIK.

Motor cables are the winding of the motor and are made of non solder able wire. If you cut the solder marking at the end of the motor cable there is no way to fix the connectors. Therefore, cables must not be shortened. Shortened or damaged windings/motor cables cannot be repaired.

No, this would wash out the grease of the ball bearings. This will shorten the life time of the ball bearings.

All KIRA motors have 2 poles.

A KPG gear can be upgraded only on engines with 3.17 mm shaft diameter. Exceptions are KPG27 6.7:1 gear. This transmission can not be retrofitted because a spline shaft is required.

The gearbox is maintenance-free and do not need to be greased.

Refitting a gearbox to direct motors of the KIRA 500/600/650 series is not possible as they require a geared shaft.

Direct motors of the KIRA 400/480 series can be refitted with a KPG 25 gearbox.

All TANGO motors have 6 poles.

KORA und KORATOP motors have 14 poles.

PYRO motors have 10 poles, except the models PYRO 600-09 , PYRO 700-34 , PYRO 750 , PYRO800 and PYRO850 which have 14 poles .

Yes. The exchange beetween two different RPMs ist possible. If the motor is used, we would be happy to provide an indivudual offer. Therefore please get in touch with the KONTRONIK service team.

Yes. Please send your motor in for service, with the completed service form.
