Overview
The MAD MAX7 200A HV is a brushless sensored ESC (electronic speed controller) for RC model cars, supporting 3~8S LiPo power and mobile-app configuration via built-in Bluetooth.
Key Features
- 200A continuous current with wave-by-wave style current limiting to help reduce peak current impact on the motor.
- Built-in Bluetooth: parameter setting, firmware upgrade, and motor operation data observation (data log and real-time data) via mobile APP.
- BEC output selectable by mobile APP: 6.0V / 7.4V / 8.4V; 8A continuous, 25A short-term.
- Fan control logic: fan ON when temperature > 55 C; fan OFF when temperature < 50 C; fan power is turned off when a large current abnormality is detected.
- Active freewheeling technology to reduce MOS heating while avoiding excessive current pulses.
- Current limiting in each PWM cycle reduces the impact of pulse current on the motor.
- Turbo timing available (max support 26 ).
- Protection functions: low voltage, over voltage, throttle loss, abnormal braking, over temperature, etc.
- Supports XC BUS / X.BUS protocol for real-time control and reading of operation data through bus (also described for robot/automation programming control).
- Waterproof level: IP67.

Bluetooth Naming Rule
The naming rule of the Bluetooth name is "approximate model" + "-" + "ESC code ID". Example: "XC_E3-1C89". XC_E3 is the approximate model, and "1C-89" is the hexadecimal code ID of the ESC. Even if the Bluetooth name is changed by the user, the ESC code ID is retained to avoid two devices with the same name.
Connections (Wiring)
- Switch wire: red and black
- Throttle wire: red = BEC+, black = BEC-, white = throttle
- X BUS wire: red = BEC+, brown = BEC-, yellow = X BUS
Precautions
- Do not connect the ESC input wires DC+ and DC- in reverse. Reverse connection may damage the ESC. If the ESC is damaged in this case, the relevant warranty service will not be provided.
- If a Hall sensor is used, check the motor phase wires and Hall wiring.
- For motors without temperature sensors, long-term high-power operation may cause burnout.
- Some motors mechanical structure cannot support high speed. Forcibly increasing speed may damage the motor.
- If not used for more than 1 hour, it is recommended to unplug the power wires of the ESC.
- If the connection line is modified, check the circuit carefully before use. Open the throttle slowly and confirm there are no errors before normal operation.
Start Process
- Check whether the circuit is open, short circuit, or in poor contact.
- Check whether the motor is stuck.
- Plug in the power cable.
- Turn on the power button.
When the battery prompt tone is heard (described in the "Normal startup" prompt in the LED/sound section), startup is normal. If the throttle is normal, throttle operation can be performed normally.
Set the Throttle Range (Calibration Steps)
- Keep the ESC off, move the throttle to the end point of reversal, then power up the ESC. Wait for the red light and green light to stop flashing (about 5 seconds).
- Move the throttle to the end point of forward within 1 second and hold it; wait for the green light to stop flashing.
- Move the throttle to the neutral position within 1 second and hold it; wait for the red light to stop flashing.
Success prompt: repeats four times (red and green light on + motor beep "so, mi, do" + red/green lights off + 0.2s vacancy).
Failure prompt: no signs; ESC powers on.
Recover Factory Parameters
Restore Bluetooth to factory settings
If the Bluetooth password is lost or Boot needs to be entered forcibly:
- Connect ESC wire (the white wire) to BEC+ (red wire).
- Turn on ESC.
- Disconnect from BEC when green light is off and red light is on.
- Remove short-circuiting.
When Boot is activated, Bluetooth restores to factory value (password restored to 1234 and the name restored to factory state), then restart ESC. If there is a hardware error, Boot can be activated this way to upgrade hardware.
Restore parameters to factory settings
To restore parameters to factory settings, click the default button on the APP parameter page.

2) For saving power, all "beeps" last for 5 minutes; if all faults are recovered, it takes effect again in the next 5 minutes.
3) Ellipsis "..." in light cue represents repetition of the previous action.
