4. Initial Acceleration
Use this to limit the initial power that is sent to the motor when starting from a complete stop.
Using the low option, the vehicle will launch very slowly and provide the longest run times.
When using the HIGH choice, you will have wheel-spinning acceleration at the cost of run time.
“Normal” and is a good starting point to deliver power and provide good run time.
●
Very Low
Provides
maximum efficiency with less power. Higher timing produces
significantly more power but at the expense of efficiency (less run time) and typically the motor
will generate more heat. Each brushless motor will respond to timing differently. Good for
running around on paved, or harder surfaces, and racing with high KV rated or low-turn motors
●
Low
Provides power for running through soft surfaces, having fun and longer run time.
●
Normal (Default)
Good mix of power and efficiency using any motor
●
High
More power than efficiency so run time will reduce, and you should be monitoring motor
heat. The higher KV or lower turn motors will generate heat quickly using this setting. A safe
high temperature range is 165F to 180F (74° - 82° Celsius), going higher may damage your
motor.
●
Very high
This is maximum power and must be used with
caution
.
Note
: Any motor has the potential to over-heat in this setting. Frequently check the motor
temperature and make sure you're not operating higher than 165° and 180° Fahrenheit (74° - 82°
Celsius), which may damage your motor, or damage your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC).
