Check LED Status In Normal Running
•
When the throttle stick is in the neutral range, neither the Red LED nor the Green LED lights up.
•
When the car moves forward, the Red LED solidly lights; the Green LED also lights up when the throttle stick is
at the top position (100% throttle).
•
When the car brakes, the Red LED solidly lights; th
e Green LED also lights up when the throttle stick is at the
bottom position and the maximum brake force is set to 100%.
•
When the car reverses, the Red LED solidly lights.

Explanation of programmable items:
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 first time (The 1
st
“click”), the ESC
begins to brake the motor, the motor speeds down but it is still running, not completely stopped, so the backward
action is not happened immediately. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again (The 2
nd
“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.
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 Threshold
The function is mainly used to prevent the Lipo battery from over discharging. The ESC monitors the battery’s
voltage at any time, if the voltage is lower than the threshold, the output power will be reduced to 50% in 2
seconds. Please drive to the side of racing track as soon as possible and then stop the car, the ESC will
completely cut off the output power in 10 seconds. The values listed in the table refer to the cut-off threshold for
each Lipo cell.
If you use the NIMH battery ,the output power will be reduced when the input voltage is
lower than 5V .
4.
Start Mode / Punch
Select from “Level1 (Soft)” to “Level 4(Very aggressive)” start mode as you like. Please note that if you choose
“Level 4(Very aggressive)”, you should use good quality battery with powerful discharge ability, otherwise you
cannot get the bursting start effect as you want. If the motor cannot run smoothly (that is: the motor is trembling),
it may caused by the weak discharge ability of the battery, please choose a better battery or increase the gear
rate.
5.
Max. 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.
