SBEC Voltage Output                        5.0V
Governor Mode:                                 RPM OFF
Motor Rotation:                                  Forward
Start Up Strength:                               30%
Low Voltage Cut Off Type:                Reduce Power

5. Motor Timing : Auto, 2°, 8°, 15°, 22°, 30°

* Auto – ESC determines the optimum motor timing automatically. 
* 2° and 8° – Set for most of in-runner motors.
* 15° and 22° –Set for motors with 6 or more poles.
* 30° – Setting for motors with more poles.
In most cases, automatic timing works well for all types of motors. However for high 
efficiency we recommend the Low timing setting for 2 pole motors (general in-runners) 
and  high  timing  for  6  poles  and  above  (general  out-runners).  For  higher  speed,  High 
timing  can  be  set.  Some  motors  require  different  timing  setups  therefore  we  suggest 
you to follow the manufacturer recommended setup 

Note:

  Run  your  motor  on  the  ground  first  after  making  any  changes  to  your  motor 

timing!

6. SBEC Voltage Output: 

5.0V/6.0V/7.4V/8.4V for Gecko Series ESC above 45A. 
5.0V/6.0V for Gecko 45A.
There are the four different levels of SBEC voltage output can be selected.

* The 1st Level: 5.0V
* The 2nd Level: 6.0V
* The 3rd Level: 7.4V
* The 4th Level: 8.4V

7. Governor Mode (Heli Governor Mode)
* RPM OFF
* Soft Start: 

For 1st Soft Start, there will be 8-second delay from start to full rpm;

For 2nd Soft Start, there will be 15-second delay from start to full rpm;
Note: If the throttle is cut off after starting less 3 Seconds, then the next start will be as 
normal start. If the throttle is cut off after starting more than 3 Seconds, the next start 
will be as soft start.

Governor Mode 1: 

There will be a 15-second delay from start to full rpm; If lower the 

throttle  to  the  80%  position  of  the  full  throttle  or  lower  than  80%  position,  the  RPM 
would  be  definitely  changed,  the  lost  RPM  will  be  detected  and  compensated 
automatically by the ESC that makes sure to keep the RPM at the same speed. (Note: 
This function is only for Low KV motor)

Governor Mode 2: 

There will be a 15-second delay from start to full rpm; If lower the 

throttle to the 80% position of the full throttle or lower than 80% position, the RPM
