2. Explanation for each programmable item
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dailytraining.
But for ESC, “Forward/reverse with brake” mode uses the “Single-
click” method to make the car go backward.
“Forward/reverse” mode uses the “Single-click” method to make the
cargobackward.Whenyoumovethethrottleleverfromforward
zonetobackwardzone,thecarwillgobackwardimmediately.
Drag brake force in neutral position
Set the amount of drag brake applied at neutral throttle to simulate
the slight braking effect of a neutral brushed motor while idle speed.
Low voltage cut-off

TheESCdetectsthebattery’svoltageatanytime.Ifthevoltageis
lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the output power will be redu-

Acceleration mode (also called “Punch”)
Select from “Level 1” to “Level 9”. A higher number means more
aggressive acceleration.
Maximum Brake Force
The ESC provides proportional brake function. The brake force is rela-
ted 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.
Maximum Reverse Force
Sets how much power will be applied in the reverse direction. Diffe-
rent value makes different reverse speed.
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.
Throttle Neutral Range
Please see the following illustrations to adjust the neutral range as
yourlike.
Timing
Therearemanydifferencesamongstructuresandparametersofdiffe-
rent brushless motors, so a fixed timing ESC is difficult to compatible
withallbrushlessmotors.Itisnecessarytomakethetimingvalue
programmable. Please select the most suitable timing value according
tothemotoryouarejustusing.Generally,highertimingvaluebrings
outhigherpoweroutput,butthewholeefficiencyofthesystemwill
beslightlylowerdown.
Over-Heat Protection
If the function is activated, the output power will be cut-off when the
temperatureoftheESCisuptoafactorypresetthresholdformore
than 5 seconds. When the protection happens, the Green LED will
flash.
Motor Rotation
Youcanusethiselementtochangethedirectionofrotation.Look
at the motor shaft, and move the throttle lever at the upper point of
the forward range. If this element set to "CCW" (counterclockwise),
the shaft runs against clockwise to "CW" (clockwise) the shaft runs
Clockwise.
LiPo Cells
Westronglyrecommendthattheelement"LiPocells"tosettheactu-
allyyouareusingLiPobatteriesmanually.
3. Program the ESC with the “SET” button
You’llfindtheinstructionsonthenextpageintheflowchart.
4. Reset all items to default values
Atanytimewhenthethrottleislocatedinneutralzone(exceptinthe
throttlecalibrationprocessorESCprogrammode),youcan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.
