DX5 Pro Launch Control Instructions

And Tuning Tips

Start Option

“Start” is a pushbutton/trimmer that will be used to do the start and

restart the Launch Control operation. There are two common ways to

use the Start button/trimmer; (1) It can be used as your “hand brake”.

Press and hold the assigned button/trimmer to disable the throttle

channel, once the button is release, throttle will operate and output

along the curve and duration you assign. Once setup, we suggest

holding the button, pulling full throttle, then once you release the

button, launch control will take over, ramping throttle output along

the assigned curve and duration. (2) The Start button/trimmer will

start the Launch Control operation with a simple tap of the button, at

that point it is waiting for your Throttle input. Once the race starts,

pull the throttle trigger to begin the run. Once the operation is

complete, throttle will work as normal with your throttle trigger

position. Simply press or hold your start button to restart Launch

Control operation.

Boost Option

“Boost” is a pushbutton/trimmer which, when pressed, adds a

percentage of throttle to the output. Effectively boosting your throttle output between 0-25%. The

percent shown below it is the percentage of throttle boost that is added when the button Is pressed

and held.

Curve Option

“Curve” is an optional toggling input (not momentary) that allows the selection of a different Launch

Control curve (each start curve is an individual sequence) per switch position. It may be configured

by the user to as many positions as the switch supports, but it defaults to 2 positions. When set to

Inhibit, the curve selected for execution is the curve specified in the Active field. If a switch is

configured, then Active cannot be edited manually, but shall be displayed as the current position

value of the Curve switch.

Alert Option

“Alert” is used to present the user with a tone or vibration that alerts the user when the Launch

Control operation is active.

Jump Option

“Jump” controls whether the display will automatically jump to the Launch Control Status screen

when the selected Start button is pressed. When active, pressing the Start button will immediately

redirect to the Launch Control Status screen. When inhibited, you can only access the Launch screen

by scrolling to it via the dashboard screen, as you would to scroll to different telemetry screens. The

jump action is inactive whenever RF is disabled.
