INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

Throttle Curve 

The Throttle Curve represents the ESC throttle (or forward drive) 
response to the transmitter trigger input. 

 

The default Throttle Curve is Linear. Choosing the Expo/Custom curve 

provides a less responsive (more forgiving) acceleration, and can 
make the vehicle more drivable or controllable at the bottom end. 

 

By selecting the "Modify" button, the 
exponential curve will be displayed on 

a separate screen. It can be modified 
by grabbing any of the points along 

the curve and dragging them to their 
desired positions. 

 

There are several default throttle curves that can be selected and 

applied to your speed control. These defaults are located in the 
"Default Curves" drop down menu located in the upper left area of 
the Throttle Curve screen. 

 

Note: The Drive Frequency cannot be adjusted when a custom curve is selected. 

 

Voltage Cut-Off

 

The Voltage Cut-Off setting enables or disables the speed controls 

Smart-Stop Circuitry. It also allows adjustment of the voltage cut-off 
point based on the type of batteries used in the vehicles main battery 

pack. The Novak Smart-Stop Circuitry monitors battery voltage and 
folds back power output to the motor when a critical voltage 

threshold is reached for either Li-Po or Li-Fe cells. Cutting off the 
power at the critical threshold protects these batteries from being 

over-discharged and damaged. 
 

This setting is measured in volts and is adjustable in increments of 

0.1 volts by selecting the up or down arrows. 

 

Recommended voltage cut-off values: 

o

 

LiPo Packs: 3.2 volts (1S); 6.3 volts (2S) 

o

 

LiFe Packs: 2.4 volts (1S); 4.8 volts (2S) 

o

 

NiMH / NiCd Packs: Disable feature by selecting "Off" 

 

WARNING: ALWAYS USE VOLTAGE CUT-OFF WITH LiPo AND LiFe 
BATTERY PACKS. IF CUT-OFF VOLTATGE IS SET TOO LOW OR 

TURNED OFF AND BATTERIES ARE ALLOWED TO DISCHARGE 
BELOW THE CELLS CRITICAL VOLTAGE, BATTERIES WILL BE 

DAMAGED. 

 

Note: This feature is not accessible when the speed control is disconnected.
