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, en-
gaging 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 fl ashes 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).
The ESC LVC (Low Voltage Cutoff) is set to Program Value #1 (non-
protection) for optimal performance with the included 7 cell NiMH
battery.
NOTICE:
When using Li-Po batteries, set the LVC programma-
ble value to 2–6 to ensure proper voltage cutoff. Failure to set
the correct cutoff value may result in damage to the battery.
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.
