The greyed out values are the default settings after a reset (see chapter 10. c). The speed controller of your

respective beeps.
Overview of functions:
• Function#1,greenLEDashesonce:Drivefunction
Use the speed controller to toggle between “forwards/brake” and “forwards/brake/backwards” (reverse travel can
thus be disabled). The “forwards/backwards” setting should not be used; it is intended for “crawler” vehicles.
• Function#2,greenLEDashestwice:Brake
If you release the throttle on the transmitter or move the throttle/brake lever on the transmitter back to the neutral
position, the vehicle will slow down by itself. The effect is just like the engine braking function on a “real” car when
you release the accelerator pedal without pressing the brake pedal.
The brake functions like a brake on a standard electric engine (a brushless electric engine does not have strong
magnets that slow down the rotor).
• Function#3,greenLEDashesthreetimes:Lowvoltageprotection
When operating the vehicle with LiPo drive rechargeable batteries, the low voltage protection must be switched on
(we recommend at least 3.0 V per cell).
In the vehicle, the two 2-cell LiPo drive rechargeable batteries are connected in series. This results in a total voltage
of fully charged rechargeable batteries of about 16.8 V. If a cut-off voltage of 3.2 V/cell was programmed, the speed
controller switches off the engine when it measures a voltage of 12.8 V for a duration of two seconds. This prevents
deepdischargeofLiPorechargeablebatteries.ThespeedcontrollerLEDstartsashingred.
• Function#4,greenLEDashesfourtimes:Startupmode
The vehicle will start to move with more or less force depending on the setting. The higher the setting value, the
more current the engine draws from the connected rechargeable battery; so the rechargeable battery must be
high-performance.
In addition, a higher setting value should be used only when operating the vehicle on loose ground, as otherwise
the drive (gears, pinions, differentials, tyres) will be overloaded.
