Looks like this might be the manual for your first listed esc...

Thanks. It's the low budget version, according to that site. Bummer!

Well there you go...is that the manual for it?
I have one of the "economy" red label esc's also...

I have some scans. You can see from filename from what magazine the scan is from and also when that article or ad was published. I think that the CP = Competiton Plus magazine ad tried to show one kind of Mospower Controller (one with 3-wire), but the original picture in magazine is as bad as this scan; the camera lightning or something like that is reflecting from the ESC's label really badly .

Actually I believe it's the manual for the newer "Pro Tempfet" controllers, even if Tekin spelled it "Temfet", and put a picture of the "Mosfet" on it. I added that manual to all the Tekin controllers, as I couldn't find any other manuals, and the basics seems to be the same on all three.....

Just to add some additional details: the Pro Tempfet ESC600 only had 3 wires for improved efficiency. This is mentioned in the manual. That means the image in the OP is an ESC300.
