WTD: Futaba FP-MC8 ESC manual (or diagram)

[mongoose1983]

Been searching the net without any luck. I need the manual to install this old ESC on my Lunchbox.

Anybody can help? I basically need directions so I can use it.

You all have a great weekend!

I installed it following my intuition and so far it works fine. Problem is... I can't get reverse from this. I tried the three side regulations but nothing else other than the forward and brake lights come out of it. If anybody of you used one of these in the past PLEASE help me. I will be running this tomorrow morning!

Mongoose, I'm not sure that one has reverse. I've got a manual for an old MC6B, and a MC-106B - it was one of the first ones to have reverse if what I've read is correct. I can send you that manual if it might help, although they are clearly different models?

Took me forever to find the manual for the old Futaba ESC that I've got, and none of those sources had any reference to yours - but I did spend a fair amount of time looking. I'd help more if I could.

Thanks taliesin.

The ESC is marked and has a regulator for the reverse so I'm pretty sure it has that capability.

Anyway, it was only good for one spin. After one battery pack it started smoking and it is probably ruined for good now. Too bad!...

Anyway, here's a couple of pictures of this Sunday morning RCing with the LunchBox:
