Brake Curve
-
The Brake Curve represents the ESC brake’s response to the
transmitter trigger input.
-
The default Brake Curve is Linear. Choosing the Expo/Custom curve
provides a less responsive (more forgiving) low-end braking that can
be more controllable.
-
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 brake 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 Brake Curve screen.
Note: The Brake Frequency cannot be adjusted when a custom curve is selected.
Brake End Point
-
Brake End Point is the percentage of the transmitter trigger’s brake
throw at which the ESC’s brakes will reach 100% braking power.
-
This setting is measured as a percentage of the full transmitters
trigger throw in the brake direction. Ten preset selections are
available in the drop down menu.
-
Decreasing the Brake End Point setting reduces the distance the
transmitter’s trigger is required to move for full brakes to be applied
by the speed control. In addition, the end points of the Brake Curve
will move to this setting, resulting in full braking for the rest of the
trigger throw.
Note: At high timing settings, we recommend 100% Brake End Point.
Brake Frequency
-
Brake Frequency is the rate 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 brakes).
-
This setting controls how the speed control’s brakes respond to the
transmitters trigger input in the full brake direction.
-
This setting is measured in kHz. Ten preset selections are available in
the drop down menu.
-
Increasing the Brake Frequency will require more initial trigger
