1. Connect the batteries to the ESC.
2. Power on the ESC using the ESC switch.
3. Hold the SET button for 1 second until the green LED blinks, then release the SET button to enter programming mode.
4. Press and release the SET button as needed to get to the desired menu option (the Green LED will blink corresponding to the menu item
number). Programming menu items 1 through 6 are accessible using the SET button on the ESC.
5. When at the desired menu item, press the SET button for 3 seconds until the red LED blinks.
6. Press the SET button to move among the settings based on how many times the red LED blinks (Refer to the table for more information).
7. Save the setting by pressing the SET button for 3 seconds.
8. Power off the ESC switch and repeat instructions above to change other settings.
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 brake, then apply the
brake again. While braking or in reverse, engaging the throttle will result in
the vehicle immediately accelerating forward.
2. li-Po cells
The default setting is Auto Calc which will automatically select the
detetected number of cells. Select value 2-5 to manually select a cell count
from 3-8 cells.
3. low Voltage cutoff
This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously
monitors the battery’s voltage. If the voltage falls below the voltage
threshold for 2 seconds, the output power shuts off and the red LED flashes
twice repeatedly.
The cutoff 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 battery pack and the
low-voltage cut-off threshold will be 5.2V (2.6x2=5.2).
4. Bec Voltage
Select either 6 or 8.4 V to run the receiver and servos.
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.
6. max Reverse Force
This parameter adjusts the maximum power when travelling in reverse.
7. start mode (Punch)
Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level 1 gives a very
soft initial acceleration and level 5 gives a stronger initial acceleration.
