INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

Increasing the Brake Frequency will require more initial trigger 
movement to obtain a given amount of brake. This will make the 

brakes feel smoother. This is also useful for light vehicles as they will 
slow more controllably under initial braking. 

 

Current Limit 

The Novak-developed Electronic Power Control

TM

 circuitry and 

software senses the amount of current passing through the speed 
control. It adjusts the motor output so the current throughput is kept 

at a preset value. 

 

There are ten setting selections. The default setting is “1” which is 
OFF. Setting “2” restricts the least amount of current. Setting “10” 

restricts the most amount of current. 

 

Increasing the Current Limit setting reduces the maximum allowable 
current that can pass through the ESC. This can be useful for 
reducing the speed control and motor temperatures. It can also be 

useful for limiting wheel slip on tracks with low bite. 

 

Dead Band 

Dead Band is the trigger space between Minimum Brake and 

Minimum Drive, with neutral in the middle. 

 

This setting is measured as a percentage of full throttle. Ten preset 
selections are available in the drop down menu. Custom values can 

be entered in increments of 0.1%* 

 

Raising the Dead Band setting increases the amount of free play, or 

distance you must move your transmitters trigger before forward 
drive or braking activates. This setting is useful if your transmitters 

trigger does not center well or the 
trigger pot is worn. 

 

The width of the blue section in the 

chart below represents the Dead 
Band. 

 

* You must select "Enter" for the software to recognize the custom value. 

 

 

Drag Brake 

Drag Brake is the amount of brake applied while the transmitter is at 
neutral. It is commonly known as "coast brakes." 

 

This setting is measured as a percentage of full brakes. Twelve preset 
selections are available in the drop down menu. Custom values can 

be entered in increments of 0.1%* 

 

Increasing the Drag Brake setting applies a higher level of braking 
during neutral. The amount of Drag Brake applied is a personal 

preference, and adjusting it can be useful to accommodate different 
tracks. 

 

Note: The Drag Brake value cannot be set higher than Minimum Brake value 

unless the Independent Drag Brake setting is "On". 
* You must select "Enter" for the software to recognize the custom value.
