Drag Brake Rate

Sets the rate at which the drag brake is applied until it 

reaches the pre-set value. A lower value causes the car to 

slow down more smoothly and a higher value causes the car 

to stop more abruptly.

You can also set a lower value to prevent load and wear on 

the drivetrain if your car is reaching higher speeds.

Low voltage cut-off

This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. If 

the battery voltage becomes lower than the threshold for 

2 seconds, the output power is shut off and the red LED 

flashes. The cut-off threshold calculation is based on LiPo 

individual cell voltage. For NiMH batteries, if the voltage 

battery pack is higher than 9.0V, it will be considered as 

a 3 cell LiPo battery pack; if it is lower than 9.0V, it will be 

considered as a 2 cell LiPo battery pack.

Start mode “Punch”

Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. 

Level 1 gives a very soft initial acceleration and level 9 gives 

a very strong initial acceleration. A lower setting can help to 

improve traction.

Max Brake Force

Sets the maximum braking force. If you want to run your car 

like a normal car (the car rolls when you release the throttle) 

you can disable or decrease the drag brake and use regular 

braking to slow down the car instead.

Note: stronger brakes cause more load on the drivetrain 

and heat output will be increased, use with caution.
