SP-1010

The following questions relate to the SP-1010 Speed Control.
  • Q. What port in the receiver do I plug my 1010 into?
    • A. Plug the SP-1010 into the throttle channel; this is typically CH#3 on most radio systems.
  • Q. What is BEC?
    • A. BEC stands for Battery Eliminator Circuitry. This means that the speed control supplies power to the radio from the main power battery, so there is no need for a separate battery pack for the receiver.
  • Q. What is auto cut off?

    • A. Auto cut off will cut power to the motor when the battery reaches a certain voltage level in order to leave enough power for the reciver while landing.

  • Q. What is the motor limit on the 1010?
    • A. The SP-1010 can handle 10 amps maximum. So any motor that pulls less than 10 amps under load. This is typically a Speed 400 6V. class or smaller motor.
  • Q. How many cells can it handle?
    • A. 6 - 8 cells. But be aware the more cells you use the more current the motor will draw. It must still stay below 10 amps. If you go with more cells you may need to use a smaller propeller.
  • Q. What is the little push button for?
    • A. The push button momentary switch is for safety, the motor will not respond to the transmitter input until this switch is pushed. Always make sure the throttle is in low position before you push it.
