happens, reduce the maximum braking force to a lower setting. If however
you are unable to stop and the lack of deceleration is not due to wheel
slipping, you can increase the braking force.
CAUTION: BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR MAXIMUM BRAKE SETTINGS BY DRIVING
FROM FULL THROTTLE TO FULL HARD BRAKE IN AN OPEN AREA. IF THE REAR
TIRES COME OFF THE GROUND CAUSING A FRONT FLIP, THE VEHICLE WILL
TUMBLE OUT OF CONTROL AND COULD CAUSE PERSONAL OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
1. 25%: This is the lowest setting and should only be used when driving with
slow motors and on loose (low traction) surfaces.
2. 50%: It is not recommended to go below this setting on asphalt surfaces
as the stopping power may not be enough to safely slow your vehicle.
3. 75%: This is the default setting we feel will provide you the best starting
point for many different levels of traction on various surfaces. Remember
it is extremely important to only drive a vehicle as fast as you can safely
stop it. If the vehicle hits something or someone it can cause serious
injury.
4. 100%: This setting is only recommended if you are running a slotted
type motor, running this with a slotless style motor combined with a 4wd
vehicle will likely cause front flips thus a loss of control of your vehicle.
Reset to Factory Defaults:
• At any time when the throttle is located in neutral zone (except in the
throttle calibration or programming mode), hold the “SET” key for over 3
seconds, the red LED and green LED will flash at the same time , which
means each programmable item has be reset to its default value.
Audible/Visual Programming Alerts:
In dirty conditions or with various installations scenarios, visibility of the
LED’s may be obstructed. To assist with setting the ESC parameters you will
also be able to hear audible beeps from the motor that will indicate the value
of flashes the LED is transmitting.
To help interpret the beeps and flashes we use a long time flash and long
“Beep---” tone to represent number “5”, so it is easy to identify the higher
quantity of flashes/beeps. This applies to both the programming parameter
selection and also the value of each programmable item.
For example, if the LED flashes as the following:
• “A long time flash” (Motor sounds “B---”) = the No. 5 item
• “A long time flash + a short time flash” (Motor sounds “B---B”) = the No.
6 item
• “A long time flash + 2 short times flash” (Motor sounds “B---BB”) = the
No. 7 item
• “A long time flash + 3 short times flash” (Motor sounds “B---BBB”) = the
No. 8 item
• “A long time flash + 4 short times flash” (Motor sounds “B---BBBB”) =
the No. 9 item.
