Default 115 Amp Phoenix Tech Speed Controller

I recently purchased a 115 Amp Phoenix Tech Speed Controller, but can not find a manual for it. I knew it didn't have a manual when I purchased it, but I thought it would be easy enough to find one. I have tried the Phoenix Tech web site and there is nothing there to download, and every time I try their contact email I get bounced. I really don't want to have to go out and buy a different ESC, because there is nothing wrong with the one I have coming other than I can't find a manual for it to be able to set it up when it gets here.

I got a copy of it thank you, and I promptly smoked it not long after

I picked up a CC Phoenix ICE 100a to replace it so I am good to go now

I'm waiting for a replacement to come in the mail from RCA. I was doing a test spin up to make certain the motor was spinning the proper way before installing the main rotor and gear. The motor seemed to stall, and the ESC spewed the contents of its capacitors. They said they would replace it. I may end up replacing it with a CC. I'm not sure how robust this ESC is.

How goes the Chaos 600E? I haven't test flown mine yet. I bought it mid July, and taking my time with it. It's an awesome bird. I've been following your other build post. I'm hoping things are going well for you.

Mine smoked so bad that I thought it was a lipo going up. When I got to there was just a little piece of servo tape and some heat shrink still stuck to the helicopter and all the wires had melted the solder off.

I bought mine used though so I didn't get the option of a free replacement. Don't think I would have taken it any how. I am looking forward to seeing how the ICE 100 works for me in a couple weeks.

I am a complete noob to cp helis so chances are I screwed up the settings, but I did get the smoke show on video
