DESCRIPTIONS
1 Running Mode
• Forward Only with Brake
Intended for competition use, this
mode allows only forward and
brake controls.
• Forward/Reverse with Brake
This mode is the basic all-around
mode, allowing forward, reverse
and brake controls. To engage
reverse while moving forward,
apply the brake until the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
Release the brake, then apply the
brake again. While braking or in
reverse, engaging the throttle will
result in the vehicle immediately
accelerating forward.
2 Drag Brake Force
Adjusts the amount of brake auto-
matically applied when the throttle
is returned to neutral. This simu-
lates the engine braking eect of a
full-scale vehicle, allowing improved
turn-in and your vehicle’s general
response to controls.
3 Low Voltage Cuto Threshold
This function helps to prevent battery
over-discharge. The ESC continuously
monitors the battery’s voltage. If the
voltage falls below the voltage thresh-
old for 2 seconds, the output power
shuts o and the red LED flashes
twice repeatedly.
The cuto threshold calculation is
based on individual Li-Po cell voltage.
For Ni-MH batteries, if the voltage
battery pack is higher than 9.0V, it will
be treated as a 3-cell Li-Po battery
pack; if it is lower than 9.0V, it will be
treated as a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack.
Example: for a 8.0V Ni-MH battery
pack used with a 2.6V/cell threshold,
it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po bat-
tery pack and the low-voltage cuto
threshold will be 5.2V (2.6x2=5.2).
Using the optional Digital Program
Box (DYN3748, sold separately), you
can adjust the custom values for the
cuto threshold. Unlike the preset
values, custom cuto values are
for the total battery voltage, not
individual cell voltage.
4 Start Mode (Punch)
Sets the initial throttle punch when
the car accelerates. Level 1 gives a
very soft initial acceleration and level
4 gives a stronger initial acceleration.
5 Max Brake Force
Adjusts the maximum braking force.
A higher value provides stronger
braking, but can also cause the
wheels to lock, resulting in loss
of control of the car.
