Attention: The italics texts in the above form are the default settings.
3. Programmable Items
3.1. Running Mode: With “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 backward function, which is
suitable for 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 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
now. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again (The 2
nd
“click”), if the motor speed is
slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward action will be occurred. The “Double-Click” method can prevent
mistakenly reverse when the brake function is frequently used in steering.
3.2. 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.
3.3. Low Voltage Cut-Off: The function is mainly used to prevent the Lipo battery from over discharging. The ESC
monitors the battery’s voltage at any time, if the voltage is lower than th
e threshold, the output power will be
reduced to 50% in 2 seconds. Please drive to the side of racing track as soon as possible and then stop the car,
the ESC will completely cut off the output power in 10 seconds. The values listed in the table refer to the cut-off
threshold for each Lipo cell.
3.4. Start Mode (Also called “ Punch” ): Select from “Level1 (Soft)” to “Level 4(Very aggressive)” start mode as
you like. Please note that if you choose “Level 4(Very aggressive)”, you should use good quality battery with
powerful discharge ability, otherwise you cannot get the bursting sta
rt effect as you want. If the motor cannot run
smoothly (that is: the motor is trembling), it may caused by the weak discharge ability of the battery, please choose
a better battery or increase the gear rate.
3.5. 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.
4. Reset All Items To Default Values
At any time when the throttle is located in neutral zone (except in the throttle calibration or programming mode),
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. It needs to be restarted to complete the whole process.
We provide the following optional accessories:
1. Cooling fan (12V): The high voltage fan is an option when you use 3S Lipo or
NiMH battery more than 6 cells.
WARNING! Please note the original cooling fan (5V) is only allowed to work with 2S
Lipo or 4-6 cells NiMH batte
ry. Please DON’T use it with a 3S Lipo or NiMH battery
more than 6 cells.
2. LED Program Card (Digital LED Display)
The LED Program Card is an optional accessory which needs to be purchased
separately. It has a friendly user interface. The process of programming the ESC
becomes quite easy and fast with this pocket sized device.
Please connect the ESC to LED Program Card via the program port.
For WP-S16-RTR ESC, the program port is multiplexed with the Rx wire, please
