3. Programmable Values
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. The
“Rock Crawler” mode is only used for rock crawler.
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rst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 2nd “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.
With “Rock Crawler” mode, the reverse action will be happened immediately when the throttle stick is moved to backward zone.
Please set the “Drag Brake Force” to 100% if you choose the “Rock Crawler” mode.
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 to prevent the lithium battery pack from over discharging. When using lithium
battery pack, please set the suitable value for low-voltage protection as your like. The ESC monitors the battery’s voltage at
any time, if the voltage is lower than the threshold, the output power will be reduced to 50% in 2 seconds. Please drive and
stop the car at the side of the racing track as soon as possible, the ESC will completely cut off the output power in 10 seconds.
3.4. Start Mode (Also called “Punch”): Select from “Level1 (Soft)” to “Level 9 (Very aggressive)” start mode as your like.
Please note that if you choose “Level 7” to “Level 9”, you’d better use good quality battery pack with powerful discharge ability,
otherwise these modes cannot get the bursting 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.
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.
3.6. Maximum Reverse Force: Sets how much power will be applied in the reverse direction. Different value makes different
reverse speed.
3.7. 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 smooth.
