Running Modes
FWD w/Brake
This mode is for forward and brake only
Fwd/Rev/Brake
This mode offers forward, brake and reverse. Note, The reverse uses a soft start
“Double Click” function which will only allow reverse to be activated once the motor
has stopped moving forwards.
Rock Crawler
This mode allows the reverse function to happen immediately. Drag Brake should also
be set to 100% to use this function for Rock Crawling.
Drag Brake Force
This allows the setting of an automatic drag brake when the throttle stick is returned to
neutral, simulating the slight braking effect of a brushed motor while coasting.
Low Voltage Cut-Off
If the voltage of a LiPo battery pack is lower than the set threshold, the ESC will cut
off the output power by 50%. The ESC will completely cut off the output power in 10
seconds.
Start Mode (Punch)
This mode selects the level of “punch” from a standing start.Level 1 is soft, right up to
level 9 which is very aggressive. Please note, If levels 7-9 are selected, battery packs
with low discharge rates or are poor quality will not be able to supply the needed
power. It can also cause the motor to not run smoothly or tremble.
Max Brake Force
This mode sets the brakes force applied when the throttle is at full brake. A very large
brake force may slow the car quickly but be aware
it can also do damage to the cars drivetrain.
Max Reverse Force
This mode will set the reverse power applied by the ESC. The higher the value the
quicker the reverse function will be.
Initial Brake Force
This setting refers to the very first part of the braking zone. As default this is set to
equal the Drag Brake Force which will give a smooth transition into braking. It can also
be set higher to allow for a more aggressive braking function initially.
Neutral Range
The neutral range is the area around the centre of the throttle movement. This mode
will increase or decrease this area to suit your individual preference.
Timing
Different types of Brushless motors will react differently to timing values. Generally the
higher the timing setting the more output power and performance you will gain. This
is however balanced off with less run time, heat build up and efficiency of the system.
We recommend the default timing as a good balance of performance and run time.
Overheat Protection
If the function is activated, the output power will be cut off when the
temperature of the ESC is up to the factory threshold for more than 5 seconds. When
the protection happens, the green LED will flash.
Resetting Default Values
The ESC can be reset to it default settings at any time. When the ESC is on (not in Setup Calibration or Programmable Settings
modes) and the throttle is in the neutral position, hold the setup button for more than 3 seconds. The red and green LED’s will flash
at the same time 3 times to indicate that the defaults have been reset.
