INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

Drive Frequency 

This setting controls how the speed controls throttle (or forward 
drive) responds to the transmitters trigger input. Drive Frequency is 

the frequency at which the information is being sent from the ESC to 
the motor (how many times per second the motor is being cycled on 

and off to control its speed). Changing the Drive Frequency setting 
can be a valuable tuning asset for different types of motor and track 

conditions. 
 

This setting is measured in kHz. Ten preset selections are available in 

the drop down menu. 

 

Increasing the Drive Frequency setting will require more initial trigger 
movement to obtain a given amount of forward drive. This will make 

the throttle feel smoother. The setting is also useful for light vehicles 
as they will accelerate more controllably under initial drive. 

 

ESC Temp Protection 

The speed control has built-in Thermal Overload Circuitry to protect 
the ESC from damage resulting from excessive temperatures. If the 

ESC starts to overheat, this sophisticated circuitry will turn off the 
electronic motor timing advancement. If the ESC’s temperature 

continues to rise, the circuitry drops the ESC’s power output to 25% 
allowing you to safely maneuver your vehicle off of the track. 

 

There are two settings in the ESC Temperature Protection. Selecting 

"On" (default and highly recommended) enables the Thermal 
Overload Circuitry. Selecting "Off", disables the circuitry.  

 

Note: Damage resulting from the ESC overheating is not covered under the 

products warranty.  

  

DISABLING THIS FEATURE IS NOT RECOMMENDED

 

Independent Drag Brakes 

This feature allows the speed control to have the Drag Brake value 
either linked to the Minimum Brake setting or independently adjusted.
 

There are two settings with Independent Drag Brakes. Selecting "Off" 
(default) will tie the Minimum Brake to the Drag Brake value if Drag 

Brakes are set to a value higher than Minimum Brake. Selecting "On" 
will allow the Drag Brake and Minimum Brake settings to be 

independently adjusted. 

 

Minimum Brake 

Minimum Brake is the amount of brake applied with the first pulse of 
transmitter throttle information. 

 

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

entered in increments of 0.1%* 

 

Increasing the Minimum Brake setting starts the braking at a 
stronger/higher level. This is useful for heavier vehicles, minimizing 

the amount of trigger throw required before effective braking is 
applied. Minimum Brake can also be increased in high traction 

conditions when more braking is needed quicker.
