22S NO PREP DRAG: 1/10 SCALE 2WD RTR • INSTRUCTION MANUAL
DESCRIPTIONS
Battery Type
This setting allows you to change the battery chemistry. Changing this setting only changes
the cut off voltage. Selecting LiPo will prevent over discharge of your LiPo battery. Selecting
NiMh will remove LVC and allow the battery to be drained much further. This setting is critical
when using a LiPo battery with NiMh selected. This can cause serious damage to a LiPo bat-
tery and or cause a fire. Only use LiPo batteries in LiPo mode.
Start Mode
Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level 1 gives a very soft initial ac-
celeration and Level 4 gives a stronger initial acceleration.
Punch
Select from start mode Level 1 (Soft) to Level 9 (Very aggressive). If you choose Levels 7–9,
use a high quality battery pack with powerful discharge ability. Without a high quality battery
pack, the modes will not give a bursting start effect. If the motor does not run smoothly (i.e.,
trembling), choose a better battery or increase the gear rate.
Max Brake Force
Adjust the amount of maximum brake force that is applied to the motor. This force determines
the resistance of movement when the brakes are fully applied. Setting this value will help the
vehicle slow down. If the setting is too high, the tires may lock up, causing the vehicle to spin
out of control. If the setting is too low, the car will take a long time to slow.
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.
Motor Rotation
Adjusting motor rotation in the ESC allows the motor to operate clockwise and anti clockwise.
This setting allows quick installation of the motor and ESC without having to swap motor
wires to achieve forward drive. If your car is moving backward when forward throttle is ap-
plied, switch this setting to achieve required results.
BEC Voltage
Adjusts the voltage that is delivered to the receiver. The BEC (battery eliminator circuit) al-
lows for a single battery to power both the motor and radio gear. The voltage output can be
adjusted to accommodate components that utilize 6.0–7.4 volts.
Timing
ESC motor timing is adjusted using the ESC programmer or manual adjustment using the
transmitter. Timing is a setting that determines many factors, including efficiency, torque, RPM,
and temperature. Increasing the timing generally means you are adding RPM, Punch Accelera-
tion, and Current while adding heat, reducing torque, and lowering efficiency. Lowering the
timing generally means higher efficiency, less heat, and additional torque while lowering RPM
and punch acceleration.
Low Voltage Cutoff
This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the bat-
tery’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 (2.6 x 2=5.2).
Neutral Range
Adjust this setting when changing the transmitter or the ESC. This setting is programmed in
the ESC and registers the default neutral of the signal coming from the transmitter. If the car is
moving forward or does not respond quickly to transmitter throttle change, adjust this setting.
See your ESC manual for detailed instructions on how to set the neutral position.
LED Indicator
LED Code
ESC turned ON, LED indicator is OFF
Throttle trigger is in the neutral zone
Red LED illuminated
ESC is operating in forward, reverse or brake
Red and Green LED illuminated
ESC is at full throttle, full brake, or full reverese
LED flashes red with short single pulses
LVC protection activated
LED flashes green with short single pulses
The ESC is in thermal shutoff mode
LED flashes green with three short pulses repeating
The ESC has exceeded the continuous current limit
LED flashes green with four short pulses repeating
The ESC has failed the self test
LED flashes green with five short pulses repeating
Capacitor temp has been exceeded
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 ESC using the ESC switch.
3. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the green LED flashes, then release the
SET button.
4. Press the SET button once until the green LED blinks once in sequence, indicating
programmable value 1 is currently selected.
Tip:
Pressing the setup button once more moves to programmable value 2, etc. until the
desired programmable value is reached. The system continues in a ‘loop’.
5. When at the desired menu item, hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the red LED blinks.
Tip:
The RED flashing sequence indicates the actual setting; for example one flash
indicates value 1 is selected, two flashes indicates value 2, etc.
6. Press the setup button in sequence to select the desired programmable value. The system
continues in a “loop.”
7. Save the setting by holding the SET button for 3 seconds. The motor beeps once.
8. Power OFF the ESC then immediately power it ON. The setting change is stored.
Tip:
Only one setting can be stored/saved at a time.
