Product:  

iX8 V2

Description: Team Software

Part No.:   80881

The all new software v2.7 for LRP‘s iX8 V2 puts the pedal to the metal! More bottom and 
mid-range punch will allow you to clear that difficult double-triple jump without trouble, 
and higher top speed will give you the advantage on the straight to leave your opponents 
in the dust!

Initial Drive Mode has been enhanced to allow for an overall higher maximum of 30% 
while giving an extended range of seven possible values. Power Profile Mode has been 
expanded by two additional values for even more aggressive throttle response and overall 
power. Finally, v2.7 comes with new factory settings, selected to ensure optimal universal 
performance. 

To achieve the best results, experiment with the extended setting options and adjust 
them based on your driving style and individual racing conditions. Higher Initial Drive and 
Power Profile settings are best suited for an aggressive style and high traction, while lower 
settings work well on low grip and result in a smoother feel.

Drive Mode Profile  
(v2.7 > unchanged):

Allows you to adjust your ESC for all 
applications. No matter which motor rota tion 
direction you need and if you want reverse or 
not you can set it up accordingly.
You can disable reverse if you plan on using 
forward/brake only as you‘re used to from 
your nitro vehicle. 
CW motor rotation mode is available for 
models with reversed gearbox which normally 
cannot use a sensored brushless system.

Intelligent Brake/Reverse v1.0: 

This dedicated part of the firmware provides 
a new level of driving experience when swit-
ching between braking and driving backwards 
and provides high reverse driving speed 
compared to the iX8.

Initial Drive (v2.7 > updated feature):

Defines percentage of initial throttle power.  
This allows to adjust smooth throttle or 
aggressive acceleration.
Values have been extended and increased, gi-
ving you options from 1% to 30% Inital Drive.

Suggested settings:
Smooth feel (better for low grip): 0-2
Aggressive feel: 3-4
Very aggressive feel: 5-6

Attention: Higher Initial Drive settings in-
crease the motor temperature significantly. 
When you are running high Initial Drive set-
tings, motor temperature protection should 
always be active! Always monitor motor 
temperatures in order to adjust correct 
Initial Drive values!

Power Profile (v2.7 > updated feature):

Allows you to adjust the ESC feel to your 
likes. 
Whether you run on slippery or high traction 
surfaces, we have incorporated a profile 
for you!
Higher value means more overall power and 
more aggressive throttle response.

Protection (v2.7 > unchanged): 

Defines protection level. In normal operation 

only values 0 and 1 will be shown. 
• ALL: Protection for ESC, motor and battery 

active. ESC will shut down when critical 

tempera ture of ESC or motor is reached or 

when battery voltage drops too low. 

• ESC: Protection for ESC and battery is 

active. Protection for motor is disabled. 

When battery cutoff voltage is reached, you 

will still be able to drive at reduced speed for 

an additional 30 seconds.
• NONE: This setting disables all protection 

of ESC, motor and battery. To disable all 

protection, first select value 1, then press 

and hold SET button for 5 seconds -> blue 

LED flashes 2x. To reactivate all protection 

(value 0), press SET again. 

Warning: For extreme competition 

application only! Possible damage of ESC, 

motor and battery will not be covered under 

warranty!
