TEKIN ELECTRONICS, INC. guarantees this speed control to be free
from factory defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 120
days from date of purchase, when verified by sales receipt. This warranty
does not cover: suitability for specific application, components worn by
use, application of reverse or improper voltage (fuse provides protection
in most cases), tampering, misuse, or shipping. Our warranty liability shall
be limited to repairing unit to our original specifications. Because we
have no control over the installation or use of this product, in no case
shall we be liable for damages.
Additionally, these items void the warranty:
1. Using the same polarity connectors on the battery
and motor wires from the Speed Control.
2. Allowing water or moisture into the speed control.
3. Incorrect wiring.
4. Use inconsistent with the instructions.
By the act of using this Speed Controller, the user accepts all resulting liability.

MPORTANT:
As long as the instructions
are followed correctly, and
proper polarity is observed,
the warranty will not be
voided by changing the
m o t o r, battery, or radio
plugs.
Wiring the plugs
incorrectly may damage
the speed control or radio
receiver
and void the war-
ranty.
STEP 1: Press Tabs
In and Remove Wires
STEP 2: Lift Tabs Back Up
STEP 3: Push wires Into the
new plug housing
Figure 1 - CHANGING PLUG TYPES
A) Mount the speed control using the double-sided tape provided or Shoe Goo.
It is best to cut the tape to fit the plastic area on the back of the speed control. Clean
the chassis and speed control first with motor spray or solvent to provide maximum
adhesion. The new generation MosFET transistors are mounted on the back of the
unit in a spaced-apart manner which provides increased surface cooling area. All
normal mounting locations are acceptable. There are no special air-flow
requirements, but it is best to avoid closing off the side vent areas. Most
installations will be with the speed control on the chassis, on the same side as the
motor brushes. Be sure to keep the power wires away from the receiver and to
allow access to the Setup Buttons.
B) Mount the on/off switch with servo tape or the screws supplied. DO NOT USE
SUPER GLUE.
STEP 2 - MOUNTING

that each of the wires can be removed from the black plastic plug housing. (Figure
1, step 1)
2) After removing the wires from the receiver plug, use a hobby knife or jewel-
ers screwdriver to lift the metal tabs on each of the wires back up. (Figure 1, step
2.)
3) Select the plug housing that matches your radio system and insert the wires
into the housing. Make sure that you put the wires in according to the lettering on
the plastic housing. The red wire inserts into RED, the black wire goes into
BLK, and the white wire inserts into WHT (figure 1, step 3). The wires will snap
into place when inserted into the plug housing correctly.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Thank you for purchasing Tekins innovative new series of advanced speed
control. The G-10 continues the winning performance tradition of the 411-G2, G-
9, and G-12c III, but adds new multiple-setup tuning capabilities. Simple two
button operation allows quick and accurate adjustment of all critical operating
parameters. This results in better operation over a wider variety of car and track
use conditions. Our new double-shunted, surface-mounted GoldFET III-b power
MosFET transistors offer the highest performance available, and CoolSwitch II-
Pro circuitry with Copper-Clad mounting delivers extreme performance with
reduced heat. This allows higher sustained peak power delivery throughout the
whole run. The new rear-mounted transistors also lower the center-of-gravity, for
better cornering. The slim case fits easily into any make chassis, and the wiring
layout is improved. Other features include Tekins Throttle Priority Circuitry (TPC)
which guarantees full bottom-end power under the most severe loads, versatile
QuickTune PRO setup for optimum performance at all times, reverse voltage
protection for total reliability, built-in 32 amp high power Schottky diodes, reduced
weight, native machine-code software for higher processing speeds, and 16 bit
wide math computations for the most accurate, low distortion link between the
driving trigger and motor output.

INTRODUCTION
This speed control features the Tekin Universal Radio Connector System. This
allows you to use it with Tekin, Airtronics/Sanwa, Futaba J, JR, KO Propo, and
other receivers.
The standard connector on this unit is the Tekin / Futaba J. If your receiver is a
Tekin or a Futaba, then the standard plug will fit without modification.
When using this speed control with Airtronics, Airtronics Z, JR, KO Propo,
or other receivers, follow the steps below:
**NOTE: Kyosho Receivers use the JR plug housing**
1)
First, disconnect the battery from the speed control. Using a small
hobby knife or jewelers screwdriver, press in the three metal tabs only far enough
STEP 1 - CONNECTOR SELECTION
-1- CCW = Counter Clockwise CW=Clockwise
* Adjust Throttle Exponential control for best balance of low speed and high
speed driving power.
Once you have completed the wiring and hooking up your speed control, the
speed controller must be calibrated to your transmitter. Tekin's QuickTUNE
electronic setup feature allows this to be done quickly, easily, and accurately. For
optimum performance, first adjust the transmitter according to the chart below,
then proceed with the following steps.
1) Turn on the transmitter, then the speed control, and leave the transmitter in
the neutral position.
2) Press and hold EITHER BUTTON (but not both at once) for about 5 seconds
until the left hand red light starts blinking rapidly. Then pull full throttle on the
transmitter, and then push forward to full brake. Release the trigger. (You have
about 5 seconds to do this). After the light stops blinking, the calibration is
complete and you are ready to drive.
3) To adjust the maximum brakes, use the brake trim or EPA / ATL / ATV low
adjustment on the transmitter. You may need to do this to reduce the braking
somewhat. Whenever you re-set the speed control, be sure to put the transmitter
brake trim or EPA / ATL / ATV back to maximum first.
Note: If you do not apply brakes during the calibration procedure, the brakes will
be disabled.
