How to Set an SC200 ESC

The Team Associated XP SC200 Electronic Speed Control (ESC) is an accessory for radio-controlled trucks, buggies and racing cars that allows you to control the speed of your motor with your transmitter. It is compact in size so you can easily mount it in compact or mini radio controlled vehicles, and it includes features such as real-time braking and reverse lockout that make it ideal for competition. You set your XP SC 200 with the throttle control on your transmitter.
