BASIC

• Running Mode – Select between Forward and Brake (Fwd/Brk) or Forward, Reverse and Brake

(Fwd/Rev/Brk) (* Default)

• Lipo Cells – Select between Auto-Calculation (* Default)– 8S Lipo Cutoff.

• Low Voltage Cutoff – Select between Auto Low – Auto Intermediate (*Default - Auto High

o Auto (Low) - Low cutoff voltage, not very easy to get the LVC Protection activated, is

applicable to batteries with poor discharge capability.

o Auto (Intermediate) - Medium cutoff voltage, prone to getting the LVC Protection

activated, is applicable to batteries with ordinary discharge capability.

o Auto (High) - High cutoff voltage, very prone to getting the LVC Protection activated, is

applicable to packs with great discharge capability.

• BEC Voltage – Select Between 6.0V (* Default) and 8.4V

• Brake Force – Select between 25% - 100% or Disabled

ADVANCED

• Reverse Force – Select between 25% and 50%. 25% is the default.

• Start Mode (Punch) –

You can adjust the throttle punch from level 1 (very soft) to level 5 (very aggressive) as per the track,

tires, grip, your preference etc. This feature is very useful for preventing tires from slipping during the

starting-up process. In addition, “level 4” and “level 5” have strict requirement on battery’s discharge

capability. It may affect the starting-up if the battery discharges poorly and cannot provide large current

in a short time. The car stutters/cogs or suddenly loses power in the starting-up process indicating the

battery’s discharge capability is not adequate. Upgrade to higher C rating battery or you can reduce the

punch or increase the FDR (Final Drive Ratio) to help.

• Timing Mode - 0°/ 3.75° / 7.5° / 11.25° / *15° / 18.75° / 22.5° / 26.25°, default is 15°.

Usually, low timing value is suitable for most motors. But there are many differences among structures

and parameters of different motors so please try and select the most suitable timing value according to

the motor you are just using. The correct timing value makes the motor run smoothly. And generally,

higher timing value brings out higher output power and higher speed/rpm. Note: After changing the

timing setting, please test your RC model on ground prior to flight. Monitor for cogging, stuttering and

excessive motor heat, if these symptoms occur, reduce timing.
