the surface. You will typically want a lower punch setting when the surface has less traction. To get the optimal performance out of
LiPo batteries, on high traction sufaces, setting 4 is recommended.
1. Level 1 (70%): This setting will provide the smoothest throttle feel and least wheel spin.
2. Level 2 (80%)
3. Level 3 (90%): This is the highest setting that should be used with high performance NiMH batteries such as those included
with your vehicle.
4. Level 4 (100%): This setting is recommended for use with LiPo batteries only and allows you to get the maximum acceleration
from your power system. Choosing a setting higher than #3 for use with NiMH batteries will cause inconsistent operation of your
ESC, including possible momentary power loss.
Item 5: Maximum Brake Force:
The Reaktor ESC has 4 maximum brake force settings allwowing you to tune your brakes for different driving surfaces. This setting
works in conjunction with the brake EPA setting on your transmitter which can still be used to fine tune the braking force, however
this setting affects the initial brake force also. Since your vehicle is using a high performance brushless motor which has great brak-
ing efficiency already, we have reduced the setting to #3. On some surfaces you may still find this setting to be too high and find
that under heavy braking with 4wd vehicles the rear tires may come off the ground. This is a very unstable situation and should be
avoided at all costs. If this happnes, reduce the maximum braking force to a lower setting. If however you are unable to stop and the
lack of deceleration is not due to wheel slipping, you can increase the braking force.
WARNING: Be sure to check your maximum brake settings by driving from full throttle to full hard brake in an open area.
If the rear tires come off the ground causing a front flip, the vehicle will tumble out of control and could cause personal or
property damage.
1. 25%: This is the lowest setting and should only be used when driving with slow motors and on loose (low traction) surfaces.
2. 50%: It is not recommended to go below this setting on asphault surfaces as the stopping power may not be enough to safely
slow your vehicle.
3. 75%: This is the default setting we feel will provide you the best starting point for many different levels of tration on various sur-
faces. Remember it is extremely important to only drive a vehicle as fast as you can safely stop it. If the vehicle hits something
or someone it can cuase serious injury.
4. 100%: This setting is only recommended if you are running a slotted type motor, running this with a slotless style motor com-
bined with a 4wd vehicle will likely cause front flips thus a loss of control of your vehicle.
Reset to Factory Defaults:
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.
Audible/Visual Programming Alerts:
In dirty conditions or with various installations scenarios, visibility of the LED’s may be obstructed. To assist with setting the ESC
parameters you will also be able to hear audible beeps from the motor that will indicate the value of flashes the LED is transmitting.
To help interpret the beeps and flashes we use a long time flash and long “Beep---” tone to represent number “5”, so it is easy to
identify the higher quantity of flashes/beeps. This applies to both the programming parameter selection and also the value of each
programmable item.
• For example, if the LED flashes as the following:
› “A long time flash” (Motor sounds “B---”) = the No. 5 item
› “A long time flash + a short time flash” (Motor sounds “B---B”) = the No. 6 item
› “A long time flash + 2 short times flash” (Motor sounds “B---BB”) = the No. 7 item
› “A long time flash + 3 short times flash” (Motor sounds “B---BBB”) = the No. 8 item
› “A long time flash + 4 short times flash” (Motor sounds “B---BBBB”) = the No. 9 item.
