Setting The Running Mode (LVC):
If you are running your vehicle and notice a sudden decrease in power, look at the LED on the ESC. If it is flashing, your ESC has de-
tected battery voltage that is lower than what should be safely run without causing damage to your battery or electronic equipment.
Follow the below instructions to change the setting.
1. With the ESC OFF, press and hold the button and turn ON the power switch to the ESC. The LED will blink a pattern (1=OFF,
2=LiPo, or 3=NiMH) blinks per second indicating which LVC mode you are in. Press the button to cycle through the values.
2. Turn your ESC OFF when you have made your selection to save the settings
NOTE: When turning your ESC ON, it will give 2 indicators, a beeping sound and sequence of LED flashes. The beeps indi-
cate the current LVC mode and the LED flashes indicate the number of LiPo cells detected.
Turning Reverse ON/OFF:
Most organized racing does not allow use of reverse. Follow the below procedure to select your desired reverse/brake mode.
1. With the ESC OFF, press and hold the button and turn ON the power switch to the ESC. The LED will blink the LVC setting.
2. Press and hold the button near the switch for 3 seconds to enter programming mode. The LED will flash the setting. 1 flash
indicates ON. 2 flashes indicates OFF. Press the button to cycle through the values.
3. Turn your ESC OFF when you have made your selection. The settings are automatically saved.
Brake Force:
Going fast is fun, however if you are unable to stop safely, that fun can end quickly and be costly. Your ESC is equipped with a brake
force program mode that allows you to adjust the amount of brake force. In general, the faster your vehicle goes, the stronger the
brakes are, not necessarily the best thing. It is possible to do a front flip if the brakes are too strong for the conditions. Be sure to
test the brakes for the battery configuration you are running to prevent losing control of the vehicle.
1. With the ESC OFF, press and hold the button and turn ON the power switch to the ESC. The LED will blink the LVC setting.
2. Press and hold the button near the switch for 3 seconds to enter programming mode as above. Hold the button again for 3 more
seconds to enter the Brake force programming mode.
3. The LED will flash 1-4 times (60-100%) indicating the force setting. Press the button to cycle through the values.
4. For 3s LiPo, it is recommended to use settings 2 or 3 depending on how much grip the running surface has.
5. Turn your ESC OFF when you have made your selection. The settings are automatically saved.
The Reaktor ESC has built in protection modes besides the most common LVC. We have designed and integrated thermal overload
and over-current protection which helps to protect your system when you forget to. When the protection modes are active, the ESC
will indicate with an error code on the LED that the particular protection mode is active.
LVC Protection:
LVC protection is intended to protect your LiPo batteries from over-discharge and thus potential damage. The LVC circuitry is pro-
grammed to serve two functions while protecting your ESC. The first indicator is reported when the ESC measures 3.3 Volts per cell
where the ESC will cut the power to the motor to 50% and give an error on the LED by a slow flashing signal. The second indicator
occurs when the ESC measures 3.2 Volts per cell where the ESC will cut the power to 0%. Hence when you feel the power cut sud-
denly, it is recommended that you drive slowly back to a safe area to shut down and recharge or change your battery. Though mea-
suring voltage is an easy task, the battery voltage is related to the current draw on the battery, as the current draw increases, the
voltage drops. The highest current draw on you ESC is the special case of full throttle. When the ESC senses you are at full throttle it
gives a little leeway on the battery voltage to ensure its not just a spike in power drain in which the LVC would activate and kill your
fun. Instead the ESC knows this special case and requires a full 2 second measurement under the stated voltage before activating
the protection. This helps eliminate the power spikes that could be considered low voltage by other ESC’s and instead allows you to
keep enjoying your product, only alerting you when its absolutely necessary.
