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

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

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 :roll: .

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.
