DESCRIPTIONS
1. Running Mode
Forward Only with Brake
Intended for competition use, this mode allows only forward and brake
controls.
Forward/Reverse with Brake
This mode is the basic all-around mode, allowing forward, reverse and
brake controls. To engage reverse while moving forward, apply the
brake until the vehicle has come to a complete stop, release brake, then
apply the brake again. While braking or in reverse, engaging the throttle
will result in the vehicle immediately accelerating forward.
2. Drag Brake Force
Adjusts the amount of brake automatically applied when the throttle is
returned to the neutral position. This simulates the engine braking effect
of a full-scale vehicle, allowing improved turn-in and your vehicle’s
general response to controls.
3. Low Voltage Cutoff
This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC
continuously monitors the battery’s voltage. If the voltage falls below the
voltage threshold for 2 seconds, the output power shuts off and the red
LED flashes twice repeatedly.
The cutoff threshold calculation is based on individual Li-Po cell voltage.
For Ni-MH batteries, if the voltage battery pack is higher than 9.0V, it will
be treated as a 3-cell Li-Po battery pack; if it is lower than 9.0V, it will be
treated as a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack. Example: for a 8.0V Ni-MH battery
pack used with a 2.6V/cell threshold, it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po
battery pack and the low-voltage cut-off threshold will be 5.2V (2.6x2=5.2).
4. Start Mode (Punch)
Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level 1 gives
a very soft initial acceleration and level 4 gives a stronger initial
acceleration.
5. Max Brake Force
Adjusts the maximum braking force. A higher value provides stronger
braking, but can also cause the wheels to lock, resulting in loss of
control of the car.
6. Max Reverse Force
This parameter adjusts the maximum power when travelling in reverse.
7. Initial Brake Force (minimum brake)
Adjusts the minimum amount of braking power when the brakes engage.
The default value is equal to the drag brake value. A high value can lock
the wheels when the brake is used.
8. Neutral Range
Adjusts the throttle sensitivity around the neutral point. A higher value
results in the throttle having to be moved more for the vehicle to move
forward, backward or brake.
9. Timing
Adjusts the motor drive current timing. More timing gives more
performance, but can lower efficiency and cause damage to the motor
and/or ESC by overload or overheating.
NOTICE:
Always ensure the motor timing is set correctly. Failure to set
the motor timing correctly can result in damage to the motor and ESC.
Refer to the manufacturer instructions for recommended timing settings.
10. Motor Type
11. Motor Rotation
Allows you to make this change in the ESC so no wires need to be
changed between the ESC and the motor.
12. Li-Po Cells
Allows the ESC to automatically detect or manually set the number of
cells in your Li-Po battery back.

ESC PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
Programming is accomplished using the SET button on the ON/OFF switch*.
1. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Power on the ESC.
4. Hold the SET button until the green LED flashes. Release the set button
to enter programming mode.
TIP:
To reset all programming items to the default values, press and hold
the set button for five seconds
5. Press and release the set button as needed to cycle through the
programming items. The number of times the green LED flashes equals
the programming item number given in the programming table
6. When at the desired programming item, press and hold the set button
until the red LED flashes to select the item.
7. Press and release the SET button to cycle through the values available
for the programming item based on the number of times the LED flashes.
Refer to the programming table.
8. Save the setting by pressing and holding the SET button for 3 seconds.
9. Power off the ESC to exit programming mode or to change other
programming items.
* Other programming options include the Spektrum SMART Firma ESC
Programming Box (SPMXCA200) and the SmartLink USB updating and
programmer application. See SpektrumRC.com for more details about
Spektrum SMART Firma ESCs.
