Modes
Running Mode:
With “Forward Only 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 backward function, which is suitable for daily training.
Note: “Forward/Reverse with Brake” mode uses “Double-click” method to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick from forward
zone to backward zone for the first time (The 1st “click”), the ESC begins to brake the motor, the motor speeds down but it is still running, not
completely stopped, so the backward action is NOT happened immediately. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again (The 2nd
“click”), if the motor speed is slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward action will happen. The “Double-Click” method can prevent mistakenly
reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in steering.
By the way, in the process of braking or reversing, if the throttle stick is moved to forward zone, the motor will run forward at once.
“Forward/Reverse” mode uses “Single-click” method to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick from forward zone to backward
zone, the car will go backward immediately. This mode is usually used for the Rock Crawler.
Drag Brake Force:
Set the amount of drag brake applied at neutral throttle to simulate the slight braking effect of a neutral brushed motor while
coasting.
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 in such a way: “ - -, - -, - -”.
There are 6 preset options for this item. You can customize the cutoff threshold by using a LCD program box (optional equipment) to trim it with a
step of 0.1V, so it will be more suitable for all kinds of batteries (NiMH, NiCd, Li-ion, Lipo, LFP,etc).
Start Mode (Also called “Punch”):
Select from “Level1” to “Level9” as your like, Level1 has a very soft start effect, while level9 has a very
aggressive start effect. From Level1 to Level9, the start force is increasing. Please note that if you choose “Level7” to “Level9” mode, you must use
good quality battery pack with powerful discharge ability, otherwise these modes cannot get the burst start effect as you want. If the motor cannot run
smoothly (the motor is trembling), it may caused by the weak discharge ability of the battery pack, please choose a better battery or increase the
gear rate.
Maximum Brake Force:
The ESC provides proportional brake function. The brake force is related to the position of the throttle stick. Maximum
brake force refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the top point of the backward zone. A very large brake force can shorten the brake
time, but it may damage the gears.
Maximum Reverse Force:
Sets how much power will be applied in the reverse direction. Different value makes different reverse speed.
Initial Brake Force:
It is also called “minimum brake force”, and it refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the initial position of the
backward zone. The default value is equal to the drag brake force, so the brake effect can be very smoothly.
Throttle Neutral Range:
Please refer to the following picture to adjust the neutral range as your like.
Timing:
The “timing” item is usable for both sensored and sensorless brushless motors. There are many differences among structures and parame-
ters of different brushless motors, so a fixed timing ESC is difficult to compatible with all brushless motors. It is necessary to make the timing value
programmable. Please select the most suitable timing value according to the motor you are just using. Generally, higher timing value brings out
higher power output, but the whole efficiency of the system will be slightly lower down.
Over-Heat Protection:
If the function is activated, the output power will be cut-off when the temperature of the ESC or the internal temperature of
the sensored brushless motor is up to a factory-preset value for 5 seconds. When the protection happens, the Green LED will flash.
When the ESC is over-heat: The Green LED flashes as “ -, -, -”.
When the motor is over-heat: The Green LED flashes as “ - -, - -, - -”.
Note: The motor over-heat protection function is only available for the sensored brushless motor made by the same manufacturer of the ESC. For
motors made by other manufacturers, this function maybe not available or the protection point doesn’t match the design of the ESC, please disable
the over-heat protection function in such a case.
Motor Rotation:
You can use this item to change the rotation direction. Face to the motor shaft (That means the rear cover of the motor is far from
your face), and move the throttle stick to the top point of the forward zone. If this item is set to “CCW”, the shaft runs counter-clockwise; If this item is
set to “CW”, the shaft runs clockwise.
Lipo Cells:
We strongly suggest setting the “Lipo Cells” item manually.
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.
