Programmable Values
1. Running Mode:
In “Forward with Brake” mode, the car can go forward and brake, but cannot go backward, this mode is suitable
for competition; “Forward/Reverse with Brake” mode provides backward function, which is suitable for daily training. Note:
“Forward/Reverse with Brake” mode uses “Double-click” method to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick
from forward zone to backward zone for the fi rst time (The 1st “click”), the ESC begins to brake the motor, the motor speeds down
but itis still running, not completely stopped, so the backward action is NOT happened immediately. When the throttle stick is
moved to thebackward zone again (The 2nd “click”), if the motor speed is slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward action
will happen. The“Double-Click” method can prevent mistakenly reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in
steering. By the way, in the process of braking or reversing, if the throttle stick is moved to forward zone, the motor will run forward
at once. “Forward/Reverse” mode uses “Single-click” to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick from forward
zone to backward zone, the car will go backward immediately. This mode is usually used for the Rock Crawler.
2. Drag Brake Force:
Set the amount of drag brake applied at neutral throttle to simulate the slight braking effect of a neutral
brushed motor while coasting.
3. Low Voltage Cut-Off:
The function prevents the lithium battery pack from over discharging. The ESC detects the battery’s voltage
at any time, if the voltage is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the output power will be cut off, and the red LED fl ashes in
such a way: “•-, •-, •-”.
4. Start Mode
(Also called “Punch”): Select from “Level1” to “Level9” as you like. Level1 has a very soft start effect, while Level9
has a very aggressive start effect. From Level1 to Level9, the start force is increasing. Please note that if you choose “Level7” to
“Level9” mode, you must use good quality battery with powerful discharge ability, otherwise these modes cannot get the burst
start effect as you want. If the motor cannot run smoothly (that means the motor is trembling), it may caused by the weak discharge
ability of the battery, please choose a better one or a softer gear ratio.
5. Maximum Brake Force:
The ESC provides proportional brake function. The brake force is related to the position of the throttle
stick. Maximum brake force refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the end point of the backward zone. A very large
brake force can shorten the brake time, but it may damage the gears. The “Disable” option inhibits the inherent brake function
of the speed controller. When this option is selected, the brake function is realized by a traditional mechanical disc-brake system
driven by a servo.
Reset All Items To Default Values
At any time when the throttle is located in neutral zone (except in the throttle calibration or
parameters program process), hold the “SET” key for over 3 seconds, the red LED and green LED will fl ash at the same time , which
means each programmable item has be reset to its default value. It needs to be restarted to complete the whole process.
