Programming (Continued)
Programmable Items Description
Using an Optional Program Card (Not Included)
1. Running Mode: In “Forward with Brake” mode, the car can go forward and brake, but cannot go backward, this mode is suitable for
competition. “Forward/Reverse with Brake” mode provides the reverse function, which is suitable for daily training.
Note: “Forward/Reverse with Brake” mode uses “Double-click” method to enter reverse. When you move the throttle trigger from the
forward zone to the reverse zone for the first time (The 1st “click”), the ESC begins to brake the motor, the motor slows down but it is still
running, not completely stopped, so the reverse function does NOT happen immediately. When the throttle trigger is moved to the
backward zone again (The 2nd “click”), if the vehicle is stopped, the reverse function will engage, driving the vehicle backward. The
“Double-Click” method prevents accidentally sending the vehicle into reverse while trying to brake.
Note: Any time during braking or reversing, if the throttle trigger is moved to forward zone, the motor will run forward at once.
“Forward/Reverse” mode uses “Single-click” to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle trigger from forward zone to
reverse zone, the car will go backward immediately. This mode is usually used for the Rock Crawlers and can be hard on the drivetrain.
2. Drag Brake Force: Set the amount of drag brake applied at neutral throttle to simulate the slight braking effect of a brushed
motor while coasting.
3. Low Voltage Cut-Off: The function prevents the lithium battery pack from over discharging. The ESC detects the battery’s voltage
at any time, if the voltage is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the output power will be cut off, and the red LED flashes: “ -, -, -”.
4. Start Mode (Also called “Punch”): Select from “Level 1” to “Level 9”. Level 1 has a very soft start (minimum wheel spin), while level 9
has a very aggressive start (maximum wheel spin). From Level 1 to Level 9, the start force increases. Please note that if you choose
“Level 7” to “Level 9”, you must use a good quality battery with a high discharge rating (C-rating), otherwise these modes will just cause
the motor to tremble and hesitate. If this is happening, lower the “Punch” level, or use a battery with a higher “C-Rating”.
5. Maximum Brake Force: The ESC provides proportional braking. This setting increases or decreases the maximum amount of
braking. On the lowest setting, the vehicle will gradually come to a stop while full brake is applied on the transmitter. On the highest
setting, the vehicle will screech to a halt while full brake is applied on the transmitter. A high setting can potentially damage gears, so use
caution while setting this option. The “Disable” option inhibits the inherent brake function of the speed controller. “Disable” is used mostly
in nitro or gas vehicles using a mechanical disc-brake system driven by a servo.
Reset All Items To Default Values
At any time when the throttle is located in neutral zone (except in the throttle calibration or parameters program process), hold the
“SET” key for over 3 seconds, the red LED and green LED will flash at the same time, which means each programmable item has be reset
to its default value. The ESC will need to be restarted to complete the process.
In the program process, the motor will emit a “Beep” tone when the LED flashes.
A long flash and long “Beep---” tone is used to represent the number “5”, to easily identify items of a large number.
“A long flash” (Motor sounds “B---”) = the No. 5 item
“A long flash + a short flash” (Motor sounds “B---B”) = the No. 6 item
“A long flash + 2 short flashes” (Motor sounds “B---BB”) = the No. 7 item
“A long flash + 3 short flashes” (Motor sounds “B---BBB”) = the No. 8 item
“A long flash + 4 short flashes” (Motor sounds “B---BBBB”) = the No. 9 item
The Program Card is optional equipment which needs to be purchased separately. It has 3 digital LEDs to display the programmable items’
number and the options’ number. (Please refer to the user manual of the program card for detail info)
Attention! The Rx wire of the ESC (for connecting receiver) CANNOT be used to connect with the LED Program Card. Only use the fan
port between the terminals ABC to connect the Program Card to the ESC.
