c) Programme Operating Mode of the Speed Controller (Normal or Crawler

Mode)

The speed controller is used in conventional vehicles (e.g. the buggy delivered here) as well as in crawler vehicles.

„Crawler“ vehicles usually are special, slow vehicles for agility exercises. The gear of this kind of vehicle has

a strong gear reduction, so that only low speeds are possible even at full throttle.

After switching on the speed controller, the red LED shows the current mode.

Red LED lit: Crawler mode (should not be used for the buggy)

Normal mode:

Here, the speed controller offers the functions forward, brake and reverse. The brake function works as described in

chapter 9. i) when the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter is directly pushed without pause from forward to reverse.

If the lever is put in from forward driving to the neutral position, the vehicle will roll to a stop (without brake).

Crawler mode:

Here, the brake works when the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter is put in the neutral position. This is best for

crawler vehicles to facilitate, e.g. driving on a slope.

For activating the normal mode, proceed as follows:
